Something I’ve been wondering about quite a bit…

As America’s cultural fabric decays and fractures to what extent is free speech fragile without shared cultural norms?

Basically can laws compensate for weak culture?

Or is free speech only tolerable to a majority of people when there’s a shared set of values?

I’m not sure, but I know free speech is our most important ideal and we must protect it with all our resolve.

Culture is upstream of law. Expect turbulence ahead. Balkanization might be the way forward

Unfortunately many people try to use the law to change culture

Generally not a good idea. Very fiat

The last week has made me think we may already be Balkanized

Socially mentally spiritually algorithmically yes. I mean physically. Borders getting redrawn and more people moving
