I am not following your comment. Could you elaborate for me what are you trying to get at?

Are you saying that because you are going through your own struggle, other people's challenges in their own country are less important than yours?

Are you saying that because you are black and your country suffered, that people who are suffering from their country are less important because you believe you have suffered more and it is an excuse to laugh at the idea for asking genuine curiosity about their freedom of speech because it is less important than yours?

Could you enlighten me please?

None of your comment explained nor answered my question from my first post on how to instigate change on the freedom of speech? Meaning I am asking for solution rather complain and be on the victim mentality.

I am not going on the same path as you where I will pull up my ethinicity card and my country's situation because this is not the topic I am trying to ask.

If we always pull up who is suffering the worse rather than having a decent convo without mocking someone's genuinely curiosity and asking people's thoughts without turning it into a full blown cultural, race, gender and economic differences then we will never grow nor learn collectively as humanity.

I'm saying free speech is an illusion. I'm saying that those that are demanding free speech, are the ones that want anything they don't agree with silenced.

The only rights you truly have, are the ones you personally can defend yourself.

We can agree to disagree.

I can see your point why you say that. Otherwise, we will not be here on #nostr - of all platform, we chose it here because we value censorship resistance.

I am not losing hope for the humanity that we can still protect our freedom. The fact that the two of us can freely express ourselves here is in itself a privilege. I do not want this to stop or to be taken away from me and I can echo the same sentiments from the users of #nostr.

If we cannot defend our fundamental rights to express ourselves, freedom of speech, then how can we expect to personally defend ourselves without it?

PS. If you have said this comment to my first post, I could have saved myself time. đŸ¤“
