Mike Dilger on Nostr: It is a violation of basic human rights to suppress someone's ability to express ...

It is a violation of basic human rights to suppress someone's ability to express their thoughts and feelings, including their hatred.

It is a violation of basic human rights to censor hate speech.

If you hate Israelis because they've killed Palestinian children, if you hate Russians because they killed your family with a glide bomb, if you hate Americans because they killed your relatives bombing Belgrade, or Iraq, or Libya, or ten zillion other nations, it is your human right to be able to express how you feel.

That is why I am involved with nostr. I will work to support the basic human rights of every human being on planet earth in the face of all oppressive legal frameworks anywhere and everywhere. Those legal frameworks are flat-out wrong and I will fight them until my dying day.

Please use nostr tools and express yourself. But be anonymous when you know you are putting yourself at risk. Use tor and or at least a VPN and an anonymous nostr identity, and then let's have true, honest, open, constructive dialog.

Hate for an ethnicity is always a mistaken thought pattern, but you can't have that corrected by the community if you can't even express it.
