(25 posts)Your argument is that the "vileness" and "crudeness" of his words is the primary differential in determining the degree of freedom to which he is allowed to speak his mind. So, it's a safe conclusion that censorship is a cause you believe in -- as long as it's only the "bad people" people dribbling out their yellow yawp. Not how free speech works. You can object all you want you, but you can't claim a moral high-ground when you begin to subjectively proclaim which types of speech are eligible for which platforms.
Firstly, it's hypocritical. Secondly, you deny the rest of society the right to make up their mind regarding the speech in question. As a corollary, you're making an assumption that we don't have moral compasses to inform us that whatever shit that Duck Fucker said is profoundly disgusting. That assumption pisses me off and is arguable more offensive and harmful than what was said. You act as a Puritan gatekeeper, wagging your blue-blooded finger at the masses, in some self-imagined sinecure determining what is and isn't permissible for people to hear. Utter. Bullshit.
If Duck Fucker wants to preach his gospel of stupidity and nonsense, I have no problems with it. My moral compass will reflexively reject his message, but you forget the import of allowing these people to show their true colors. If a man is truly, in your estimation, such a vile and crude creature, are you not doing a public service by letting the public see the monster you yourself see?
Even as a yellow canine, I guess you're just a dog that don't hunt.
