[+] Nacktmull@lemm.ee -7 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Your comment seems to imply the existence of "free" countries. Are those "free" countries in the room with us right now? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kattenluik@feddit.nl 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) There's plenty where people are free or at least feel free, unlike the US. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Nacktmull@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (1 child) Yes, I would agree that the Netherlands are pretty free. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Us Northern Neighbors are at least freer than the states... for now, our love for oligopolies and eventually copying our Southern Neighbor is slowly eroding that permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kleenbhole@lemy.lol 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Canada doesn't even have free speech anymore tho permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Kedly@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) We never did.

That's tyranny of the minority and I don't buy it into it. I don't see why emotion matters for language. Language is just ideas.

It Should override any personal/religious/politicals agendas if they're conflicting with the rules that (hopefully so, but not always the case), most people voted on. Of course time moves on, and the people and culture change, that asks for changes in the rules as well (which sadly doesn't happen that often).
