So the world is a better place with Tucker, anti vaxers, and Trump?  Got it.  Who would have thought that selfish people that adversely affect so many others improves society.

This is the type of reprisal I was referring to. I just had to post something and wait.

You realize you're taking someones opinion as more than just an opinion? It's like I'm not allowed to have one or if I am, that it needs to be corrected by all of you. As a side note, I have to highlight that I simply answered Mr Oranges question.

Hope there's a safe space big enough for all of you to share.

And you don't allow me to have an opinion.  So what's your point?

That wasn’t a reprisal.

Yes, the world is a better place because of people like this. They create dialogue. People being wrong helps us decide what is right. Imagine if we all just accepted what is comfortable... the earth would still be flat and witches would still be burned at the stake.

What do they create dialogue on; how the world can be a better place or what is right? We already know what is right, what basic human rights are and how people should be treated. What needs to happen is for that message to be spread instead of messages of hate and intolerance. We need to think about doing what's in the best interests of all instead of what's in the best interests of ourselves. 

You're somewhat correct about the comfort thing though in that people don't like having their views challenged or having to face that what they know and believe may be wrong, especially if it affects their own comfort.

Splinky gets it, but you need to take a lap. 

Ive read tonnes of stuff that i dont really agree with, including their ideas, to help form or affirm my opinions. Do you only subcribe to those you agree with? That sounds dangerous to me.

I have no problem with serious dissenting opinions and I read plenty of them.

The outrage  performance Tucker, Hannity, Trump put on is not that.

Maybe you need to take a lap if you can’t see it for what it is

It had nothing to do with comfort.  They create "dialog" solely for personal profit without regards to the validity or outcome of their dialog.  They never acknowledge their lies and instead obfuscate obfuscate obfuscate.  This behaviour does not make the world a better place and improves nothing but their bank account balance.

So they don't do "dialog".  They talk because they can, not because they should.

And would the world still be flat with these types?  Nope, and society would be much further along without the waste that they create.

Really think that Tucker and Trump are the types that made that progress happen eh? 🤣

Collectively we've moved forward despite people like that.

The world may be a better place with dialogue but not when the dialogue is filled with lies and deceit. Or are we calling lies and deceit an opinion?

If you’re going to define freedom of speech as 'freedom from reprisal', it’s not ‘splitting hairs’ when you conflate ‘rebuttal’ with ‘reprisal’.
