Comment on YSK: some places it is a crime to ask questions

  Yeah, but it amounts to asking “why is slavery bad?” You can understand why people, mostly as it is rising across the world, aren’t exactly happy that it’s even a question.

  I said it’s a stupid question, not that you’re stupid BTW. But a quick Wikipedia read is enough to see that it’s not good news that many countries are kinda heading that way.

    Using authoritarianism to silence the question is not the win you seem to think it is. This shit is gross

      Authoritarianism is by the leader of a state or a territory, not by some random dude on Lemmy. Seriously go read the Wikipedia page at least.

        It starts with us.

        I came here to get away from censorship, not join it. We need places for open discussion but I’m starting to see that this isn’t it either.

        This was an opportunity to actually have a discussion about the topic and reinforce virtues of freedom, but it is doing the opposite and illustrating the descent to authoritarianism.
