My response was to a post saying not everything needs to be heard.
This is moderate "both sides"-ism at its most childish and irresponsible. When you tolerate intolerant views, you normalize them. Disagreeing with people isn't the same as using a public platform to espouse misguided beliefs, rooted in hate and intolerance.
Who decides what is intolerant? I see the Iranian government saying some vile things on social media.
Do you believe the voices of Klansmen need to be heard? Sure, the quote sounds harsh, but social pressure is one of the most effective weapons available when it comes to combatting things like racism. If you let hate get comfortable, it spreads. Just ask Facebook and Twitter.
As horrid as something may be, as long as no violence comes of it. Yes I believe in voices being heard. Facebook is either a platform or a publisher. If you can say it in the town square you can say it on a free platform. If they want to be publishers they open new issues.
You understand the Jedi aren't the good guys, right? In fact, they try really, really hard to always be the neutral guys, and frequently have internal conflict when one of their ranks begins to get the wrong idea and starts trying to do actual good. Yoda sounds very wise, but his position is one of maintaining balance (AKA the status quo), not progress. He later, in Rebels, comes to realize that 900 years of "both sides"-ism was the downfall of the Jedi order. In fact, he calls it hubris.
Silencing one side only makes it stronger. And yes, I believe The Jedi were the good guys. But we both have our opinions, neither one is correct. I enjoyed your responses and well though speech very much. And you gave me a few things to think on, so thank you. Things I couldn’t think on if we stopped speaking.
