       @mekkaokereke As always, my take is:"Everyone has the right to free speech, but no one has the right to a captive audience."I see the right to leave spaces you are not comfortable in to be pretty fundamental. And people who _insist_ that their voices should be heard by everyone are deeply suspect to me. Especially since they usually want to drown others out.

       @juergen_hubert @mekkaokereke Every kid grows up knowing that they can't say anything they want to all audiences without consequence.  Free speech is supposed to protect people from consequences of speaking up against their government.

       @mekkaokereke Ultimately, I think the reason folks with privilege and underdeveloped empathy insist on a captive audience is because their egos need a foil.There is no value in saying transgressive things if there’s no one triggered by it.The point is to offend and provoke a reaction. That’s it. It’s not complicated.Reactionaries get bored with themselves.They need someone to “react” to their crude, self-destructive, nihilistic ways.
