I'd love more political debate without censorship from either side. I want to hear every argument either side has, even if the argument is dumb. I want to hear the rebuttals people give for the beliefs I have, because that is the only way to check myself.
I would like regulation for these discussions to be more about personal insults, rather than if an idea is deemed too offensive or not (which is arbitrary to begin with). When a debate devolves into insults, there's no point in continuing the conversation anyway.
Honestly I think it’s really hard for this to exist because people upvote things they agree with. That inevitably incentivizes unsubstantial “gotcha” comments and dog whistles.
Agreed. It's sad.
Personally I would not like to even entertain arguments against LGBT rights or the like. I do not know why we should outside of free speech ideological purity.
You don't have to, there's no requirement to entertain, engage or respond. The problem comes when you try to keep others from entertaining, engaging or responding.
I personally enjoy engaging and responding to those I disagree with. I don't like it when people attempt to make it so I can't do that just because they disagree with their views.
