      What does silence others? Fear of retribution or of others thinking badly of your values? Both can cause ppl to be quiet but only 1 is wronghttps://twitter.com/AsraNomani/status/796856441835573248 …

      I think we shld absolutely not tolerate punishing or dogpiling ppl for views but be careful that criticism of ideas is not conflated w/ this

      I won't accept being told that I am shaming anyone if I say I think religious, far-right or far-left ideas are terrible ideas. Deal with it.

          I can say this civilly & go away if my opinion not wanted. I can even respect & like a person with a terrible idea but I will say it is one

          I can cope w/ ppl saying my liberalism/atheism/gender egalitarianism are terrible ideas. This doesn't shame me coz I'm not ashamed of them

          I realise other people - most people -are more conflict-averse than me &may choose to keep views quiet to avoid conflict w/out being ashamed

          But I don't think this indicates we should withhold evaluation & criticism so that ppl who dislike conflict can tell us what they think.

          We shld commit to defending a right to do so w/out fear of any kind of punishment. After that, you either have courage of convictions or not

          Is this upholding principles in an idealistic way that would be counterproductive for dialogue & compromise? I don't think so.

          Being critical of ideas cld lead those who don't want to b criticised to keep silent but avoiding criticism silences the would-be criticiser
