People disdain the humanities here, so they learn some lessons the hard way. The real question is if people actually want to live in a society with absolute free speech. I think that’s a no. Hate speech is protected as long as it doesn’t involve violence, but in practice, hate speech almost always leads to violence. Something people never talk about is how the founding fathers thought that virtue was a necessary quality for a democracy. If we lived in a society that held virtue in high esteem, there would be no limits to speech. But we don’t, our society values fame over everything, even money. Plus, we live in a post truth era. People hate truth-tellers here. That’s why we can’t have free speech. |
