@terryenglish @AlgorithmWolf The other thing is like, people are extremely impressionable.
And young people are even more impressionable than normal. They also are in desperate need of an identity.
So you have massive online communities of impressionable current and future voters, running around reinforcing to each other the idea that "free speech is bad" and, especially in places like the fediverse, "free speech is so bad, that those two words, and those two words alone, are the only reason I need to dismiss an entire group of people"
And the government vs. private consequences bit is really only brought up to, again, dismiss the idea of free speech. It's a complete refusal to so much as consider that there are benefits to the concept of open debate, such that the government not being able to intrude on it was considered particularly important. The only thing being considered is "Well I'm not the government so free speech bad"
We are quickly approaching a point where someone running for public office could unironically float the idea of abolishing free speech, and it will be met with thunderous applause. A coordinated effort in such an environment could trivially get a constitutional amendment passed.
If one believes the "nazi bar" bit, then one should also be able to apply the same concept to people moving for the abolition of free speech. Sure, this one person doesn't *really* want people to be jailed for offending others, but then their friends show up who 100% do.
@LukeAlmighty @bot @nukie @fartkart dancing is fun, it's just moving your body to music and having a good time. Absolutely no harm in that. The stupid shit comes from other sources, like club/rave culture. Not everybody enjoys it but I think it's definitely a social issue in most cases. People are afraid they are gonna look stupid but in reality nobody cares, and if they do then fuck em.
@LukeAlmighty @bot @nukie @fartkart one of my roommates said "at least you don't like vtuber concerts" and I got a little sweaty because I have watched the Hololive shows, but then he showed me this and I'm thanking God I'm not THIS cringe.
