Well put. No, not every opinion or perspective is worth entertaining or giving air time. Stupidity and insanity simply need to be resisted. Or else it takes a life of its own. Let's be honest- the stupidity and insanity is getting really out of hand these days.https://twitter.com/thedailybeast/status/1260177965721231360 …

I like most of your sentiments, but once it’s “let’s seek out and actively suppress X,” it’s too far for me. Freedom to choose means freedom to make wrong choices. And yes, companies can choose to suppress specific voices. But then companies define what you may choose.

I'm simply talking about all of us exercising our "freedom" to try to help put an end to the madness. Rather than sitting back and watching it happen. Honestly I think "freedom" is a bit abused and overused much like the 2nd Amendment. There's nuance (example, no murder).

I get the sentiment. I just don’t buy it. But there’s a reason: I was actively suppressed on HN for my words, and it took two years to get back into good standing. You know me, a bit. Do I seem like someone worth excluding? Until it happens to you, it’s hard to understand.

What I'd really like to see isn't banning so much but rather a bigger voice/presence for reason that counteracts these narratives. I really do feel like it's a matter of whose propaganda is better, and so far it's the PizzaGate people that are clearly winning that.

Definitely! Using words to change minds is the right way to do it. I was solely objecting to the “giving air time” portion of the tweet, since “giving” implies it should be taken away. The plandemic video may be atrocious, but it was worrisome YouTube suppressed it.
