[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 741866, member: 18958"] I am back to quoting myself, because I am unsatisfied with my lack of clarity. I am thinking of 1930's Germany which is the glaring but not the only example. Who in their right mind could argue that it was healthy to allow the fomenting of hatred and prejudice and de-humanization of people (let alone killing them off)? Of course I do not believe that hate speech is "free speech." I am left in trembling doubt and confusion. I believe that life is dynamism, that there is always an opposition, a fight between evolution and devolution. That you cannot have one, without the other. And society is always a compromise between the two. That there has to be both poles, for there to be movement, for there to be creation. And I believe that in times of historical crisis, just this kind of thing happens. That all hell breaks loose and we lose control. I believe we are in this kind of crisis. And there is not much that any one of us can do outside of our personal choices. The question is how much worse does this get? Thank you, Elsi and SWOT. [/QUOTE]
