Absolutely it did. We get to see who the crazies are. We get to see what extremist ideologies threaten our peace. We get to talk to people that hold those ideologies, understand them, sometimes demonstrate the error in their view and sometimes simply prepare for them.
They exist whether we hear their voices or not. It's better to hear their voices than not.
I start wondering if you've gotten your worldview messed up
That you over estimate how dangerous various ideologies are
Compared with traffic accidents, and possible worse, those who sometimes get elected as presidents in your country.
I'm wondering if the places on the internet you apparently visit, slightly have brought you into a fantasy world now, where you worry for and want to prepare for the wrong things. I'm wondering if you believe you need weapons to defend yourself? Whilst being less interested in climate change and wildfires?
But never mind me and have a nice day
have you read 1 thing by any political revolutionary of the past? ones you like. washington. lincoln. malcolm x. rosseau. they're quite violent, and would get censored by your 'lets-do-a-genocide free speech' laws.
Not sure what makes you think that. Free speech certainly has helped, but so many other different things and changes has happened the last 100 years.
In any case, hateful let's-do-a-genocide ultra free speech didn't help.
Such things I think it's good to censor.
