| This is the crux of modern unrest isn’t it? How do we have free will and societal lawful order AND know that some people support opinions, policies, and behavior counter to conventional views of human rights and dignity? Even in some remote, abstract, sentimental way? I do believe the convention is that you may be who or what ever you please as long as you do not overtly support the unlawful or immoral harming of others. This may not be true to application , one may be cancelled for merely expressing an unfavorable view. We must evolve our vigorous debate and mental preparedness for diversity, even that which is counter to our own views (both ways.) For some, being “racist” (or variant) is equivalent to being a jackass. For others, there is shikanery (abusing or harassing others over their characteristics.) We cannot make being a jackass a crime. Shikanery however is a different matter. You might just have to accept jack and fire the ass. |
