Radical free speech - Right or Wrong?

1 post in this topic

Lately free speech has been limited, at least in my country! 

Incoming tougher regulations concerning hate speech, fake news speech, racist speech etc etc

I would love a society where no one is bullying, where no one is lying, where no one is hating or racial towards any group of people, blacks, whites, men, women, disabled, unemployed, ugly, short, fat people etcetera. 

However, it's always politicians, establishments and authorities that limiting free speech, and they do it in a way that serve there purpose of course. 

In an ideal world it would be great to have slightly limited free speech, just to protect innocent, weak, handicapped, different ethnic people. 

But in reality one step of limiting leads to another, and slowly there is an open window for a totalitarian society where people don't dare to speak their mind. 

If there were a radical free speech law that allow EVERYTHING, it wouldn't be ideal, but maybe the best practical solution. 

A person would be free to do hate speech or scream his/her racist believes in public. But how would that person be viewed in a sane society? Like a moron of course. No one would take that person serious. 

A radical free speech society could indeed be nasty, but at least it would stay with words. Words are only words after all! 

If everyone were free to say whatever he/she likes, no matter how provocative that would be, at least it stays with words. 

Limiting free speech on the other hand, no matter how noble that limiting starts out to be, could eventually be something else in the end. 

In worst cases it could lead to full blown nazism, communism, cultural marxism or some other version of society where violence, murder and totalitarian methods are a part of it. 

What do you think?

Is radical free speech the best solution for human beings after all, even though it might not be ideal. 

But history have shown us too many times where idealistic intentions leads, it ends up in a totalitarian society too often. 

Please elaborate! 


Isn't it so, yes or no?
