Art and arguments, however in ‘poor taste’ or fallacious they are, never seriously hurt anyone, at least not directly, perhaps indirectly…emphasis on the in, in indirectly, very indirectly.
I think in a democracy, the most important freedom is freedom of speech.
It’s why it’s the 1st amendment in your constitution, it’s the second ‘section’ of our charter of rights and freedoms of like 34, or something like that, I think.
We have to trust ourselves to be able to think for ourselves in a democracy, if we can’t do that, if many-most of us our too dumb to think for ourselves, might as well not even have one, might as well have a dictatorship, or complete chaos.
And if it’s just a few idiots who take these bad ideas seriously, than it’s just a few idiots, we can handle a few idiots, so long as they do nothing violent or dangerous with them, they’ll just frig up their own lives, and if they do, do something violent or dangerous, we can throw em jail for that, not the speech itself.
Anyway, I kind of understand your point, I think there’s some merit to it, even tho I’ve been doing my best to argue against it, bottom line for me is freedom of speech is near absolute, that’s my opinion, and thankfully, for me at least, I’m entitled to it.
As someone who’s constantly undermining the status quo, you can see how a person like me’d value that freedom.
