I'm a psycho because I don't like how toxic the internet and society has become, and how easily people are manipulated by hate speech and hateful ideologies?
Society has always been toxic. Might I remind you of slavery? Might I remind you of the Holy Roman Catholic Church?
Free speech is what broke those cycles and is what will keep the internet out of the hands of other oppressors. Yes people are vile but we need to learn to manage those voices not wholesale silence them. If a motor is screaming you shouldn't say, "let's shove a plug in the muffler." You fix the motor and maintain it.
