Freedoms - Tumblr Posts
something moderates and libs need to learn is right to free speech =/= right to hate speech; rights and freedoms are granted as part of a social contract. society provides these rights and freedoms to you, and you in turn provide for society. rights and freedoms are to ensure your wellbeing. they are provided in altruism. they are NOT tools for you to hurt people. rights and freedoms are LIMITED. rights and freedoms give you power, and with power (as you love to quote) comes responsibilities. when you are granted rights and freedoms it is expected that you will use them responsibly. just like ‘right to shelter’ does not equate to ‘right to a mansion,’ ‘right to free speech’ does not equate to ‘right to hate speech.’ by giving nazis a platform you are not protecting freedom and/or free speech. you are just giving nazis a platform.
YOU ARE ONLY GRANTED FREEDOM SO LONG AS IT DOES NOT INFRINGE ON THE FREEDOM OF OTHERS.
