If someone disagrees with the right of innocent people to live, the only things they should be allowed to say is to apologize for how wrong they were, or absolutely goddamn fucking nothing.

People these days hate other people being allowed to say what they want while simultaneously becoming outraged if anyone tries to shut them up.

Voltaire never said that, one of his biographers -- Evelyn Beatrice Hall wrote In The Friends of Voltaire, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it" as an illustration of Voltaire's beliefs.

Yes, free speech is still a thing and everybody is entitled to their opinion. However, there is also something to be said for calling out what is, objectively, hate speech or statements based on information that is plain incorrect.

That shit is long gone, say something they disagree with and you must be smeared, blocked, and banned.

They want an echo chamber where the only people they interact with are people who agree with them 100% of the time.

No no no. I can say things that others disagree with but they can't say things I disagree with.

Tbh, the real answer is everyone got out of high school and realized that words have consequences, and sometimes those consequences for you or others are intentionally disastrous so you nip that in the bud one way or the other, or face disaster.
