There is a certain naivity in arguing that verbal abuse can not cause chronic stress, since it is only a singular event.
-
This argument fails to see that campaigns of harassment are based on numbers:
-
A single Milo speech hurts no-one. Milo telling thousands to go after one of their co-students (as has happened), does.
-
Because that turns it into chronic stress. And that is not "Free Speech" as described by Mill or others.
-
As soon as your main point is not to propagate an argument, but rather to incite people to bully a single person, it is harmful.
-
Who decides what speech is acceptable?
-
Who decides what constitutes murder? Abstract laws that count for all.
-
That way, no one is treated unfairly. Define clearly what constitutes harassment, then a judge + jury can decide.

-
West German here: We learned the hard way that some speech from the hard right has to be limited BEFORE they control government.

It wasn't speech from the right but unwillingness to acknowledge mistakes that led to disaster in 1933, I hope history won't repeat itself

This trend is very disturbing. There is an important reason the the right of free speech is part of our FIRST AMENDMENT

Experiencing triggers is necessary part of recovering from trauma. No triggers, no recovery.

The Blank Slate should be required reading, at least by school administrators perpetuating this madness!
