Thanks for making it easier to know who to mute
Discussion
Well that’s pretty hateful of you
Please mute me, too, if you haven't already.
#FreeSpeechMaximalism
Me? I’ve actually followed you for a while, and have enjoyed, respected, and appreciated a lot of what you write. I haven’t seen you post unnecessarily cruel or derogatory content under the guise of free speech, which is what my original post referred to. I share your belief in the importance of free speech; I also think we’re responsible for how we use it, thus my sentiment “we can do better”. I have no problem with you being critical of a specific group or ideology that you disagree with — that’s part of what makes nostr beautiful. Disagreement and discussion is healthy. I don’t feel any desire to mute you for your opinions alone.
I came back here because I think I misunderstood your reply, nostr:npub1hmmjfah37m94fycvyw42y0mrnw96ke73948n03fmfr5gj2fs77xq0juy2s
If you support people’s right to post shitty stuff, I entirely agree with you, as well as with nostr:npub1m4ny6hjqzepn4rxknuq94c2gpqzr29ufkkw7ttcxyak7v43n6vvsajc2jl
Perhaps I was hasty in assuming you also promote/support the hateful content itself. (I’m not referring to critical content or disagreement, btw — one’s views are their views, and I respect the fundamental right to it, regardless whether I agree or like it).
I hope that if I was wrong in my assumption, you’ll tell me, and forgive my hotheadedness in the moment.
And Laeserin, hopefully you haven’t muted me - I have enjoyed our conversations in the past, and would hope to share more of them in the future ✌️
the problem is that people blur the lines between hateful content and disagreement just to suppress opinions
I also think it's completely legit to hate a political movement or civilizational trend. That doesn't mean that you hate everyone involved in it.
Hate is a severely overused word often wielded to quell dissent.
I hate the trans movement because it’s political, disingenuous (political again), and deeply socialist (oooh politics the third) at this point.
I also think believing you’re the opposite sex when you’re clearly not (excluding intersex here) is not normal.
Having said that, being not normal doesn’t devalue you as a person. Often it’s quite the opposite. Bitcoiners aren’t normal either.
Not being normal is good. It’s special. We need special, but special makes for a bad societal norm. A healthy societal norm allows special but promotes normal.

nostr:npub1hmmjfah37m94fycvyw42y0mrnw96ke73948n03fmfr5gj2fs77xq0juy2s writes some hard-hitting stuff and he's not afraid to agree-to-disagree with anyone, but he's not a hateful person.

I only support hateful content to the degree it is expression of free speech.
Hate is a sad feeling and makes for a bad mindset. It’s not violence though.
It takes greatness to reevaluate and correct past actions and statements. I appreciate you doing this.
