Hmm, do we really want to open this conversation to making broad generalizations about groups based on small groups of extremists within it? Neither side wins in a conversation like that.
I'd argue it's still a better outcome than if only one side is allowed to make broad generalizations about groups based on small groups of extremists within it, while the other side is silenced.
- Ignoring "facts and logic"
- Suppressing free speech
- Being hateful
- Blindly following mainstream media
- Being agents of foreign influence
Did you see the part where the person calling all Trump supporters full of hate was upvoted while the comments I made highlighting some hateful acts by non-Trump-supporters was heavily downvoted? Maybe not literal silencing, but seems people here would definitely rather only hear one side of the story.
There is a tremendous difference between silencing, disagreeing with someone, and only listening to one side of the story.
