free speech

In the context of an intense commitment to an open internet I’d honestly need to know a bit more about what this means in my own country’s pirate party. “Free speech” is often just a disingenuous shield when bigots want to be be bigots without social consequences.

Yeah, I think a little friendly “competition” can be healthy, but it often turns into outright dismissal of other fields/ideas and needless cutting down because they view others as a threat. Someone else’s success undermines their own, that sort of thing. That is not productive and can even be damaging.

Andor was excellent. I was burnt out on Star Wars but buddy insisted. It’s well worth the watch.

Everything else meh

Andor might be one of the best pieces of star wars media (movies/shows specifically) to ever come out tbh

Appreciate the kind words! I feel like it’s one of those things where people are so caught up in the politics they are not thinking about the nuts and bolts or using their imagination.

Should I make rape jokes around a survivor? Should I set off fireworks or pop balloons around a soldier with PTSD? How about make 9/11 jokes at a firefighter who lost friends that day and barely survived? Nobody would hesitate to tell me to stop and that it’s not funny. I t be socially tarred and feathered. But I guarantee you there people out there who think those things are hilarious! So who decides?

It boils down to mutual respect. Simple as that. If somebody asks you to stop, just stop. You are not entitled to an explanation and they do not have to convince you in order for you to show them that you respect them and their dignity as a person. That’s ridiculous.
