John Stuart Mill believed that people under colonial rule (i.e. the vast majority of humanity in his time, mostly non-white) were childish & not deserving of free speech rights. He'd fit right in with the IDW!pic.twitter.com/KtMunYlsuw
Mill literally said free speech should belong to everyone except those too primitive to use it It fits in perfectly with the IDW who go on endlessly about liberty as an ideal but have incredibly paternalistic views towards non-Western countries and their cultures
You might not think there is a connection but Mill disagreed with you. His paternalism is the predicate for his critique of censorship, based onidea that some people are mature enough not to need censorship (unlike the majority of humanity). Your argument is with Mill not me
If Mill thought his anthropology was not necessary to his argument he wouldn't have made it a part of his argument. Your argument is with Mill -- you want to pretend your streamlined Mill is more true to what he meant than his actual writings.
I never argued that.
