A recent submission here about the quality of Voat, and what it has become got me thinking about this quote. I am not any better than some of them I agree.
Black people (biting my tounge) have and will always be lesser in my mind, but I don't encourage violence nor have I ever.
It is all I see there now. Always a comment about killing off Jews or other races.
This is what freedom is to them, and that doesn't show an enlightenment or prospect for the future of the site.
I appreciate your honesty about your views. As someone who believes very strongly in individual liberty, I support your right to believe whatever you like and to express those views without persecution from the state. I strongly believe we need honest conversations if we're going to get anywhere in solving the issues in our society.
I also appreciate that you say you do not support violence. I'm much the same - you do not have the right to initiate aggression against others except in self-defense (or the natural extension, defense of another).
I like that there really are people from all over the spectrum here, and we generally have the same goal of being able to civilly discuss the various things that interest us, or trouble us, or whatever. And I like that generally we don't hate or block or insult those who disagree with us, and we can still talk normally to each other again in the next thread. There will always be exceptions, and no one is perfect, but on the whole, we as a community manage it rather well. Hopefully you find the freedom here to be a bit brighter than you see on Voat.
