"When you quell speech you quell thought. When you quell thought, you suffocate progress." #QotD
"Intellectual activities, by themselves, cannot take something from someone else. ... Intellectual activities cannot violate others' rights...
“As Thomas Jefferson said: 'It does me no injury, for my neighbour to say there are 20 gods or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg' ...
"Freedom of action, without freedom of mind, is pointless at best. At worst, it is destructive...
"Good thinking makes for good living...
"The freedom to act is useless without the freedom to think... When the state limits your physical actions, it neuters your mind...
"The reason to respect freedom is the value of the mind. Man survives by using his wit, his reason - freedom is reason’s pre-condition. When you quell speech you quell thought. When you quell thought, you suffocate progress."
~ Tara Smith, summarised from her presentation at #OCON2019

There are some aspects of social justice authority which invite us to keep a gun handy. What could be better than dismissing a thought control freak.
This is a war, a social and International civil war, and wars invite action over words.
