124 sats \ 1 reply \ @rootmachine 8h \ on: When is freedom bad? AskSN
Freedom is bad only when is misunderstood. When people think that freedom means disrespecting others and breaking the laws. When freedom is wrongfully associated with violence, fascism and other things in this area.
I am seeing this more and more often and the world is becoming a really messy place.
I wonder where did things go off so bad in the past 30 years. I look at my generation (I'm 36) and I feel we are the last normal ones.
While I agree with you, I also have a feeling every generation feels like they are the last normal ones. Isn't the trouble, though, in the perceptions of the things: sure some people feel freedom means freedom to insult, but what if I'm doing something that is interesting and good for me, but insulting to others (drawing cartoons of the prophet Muhammad for humorous purposes)?
Even more troublesome is that some people seem to think freedom means never having to feel insulted. It is messy.
