Re: [OFFTOPIC] Censorship is good, actually. If you don't like that fact, maybe you should commit some client-side censorship, otherwise known as the killfile.

I find it hard to believe that genuine new users of Usenet might
sincerely hold such regressive, trollish views.  If "cancel
culture" takes root in Usenet one might as well be on Twitter. 

 

In my age group (Gen Z), such views are widespread. 

 
I've noticed that. The acceptance that a person would want someone
else to decide for them what they can and can not read seems so
foreign to me.

What do you feel is the main reason some people want views they
disagree with to be removed from society?

Control over the debate. In some people's "worlds" opinion too far

Some people I know have a huge problem when they are in a debate and
people have a completely contrary opinion about a certain topic,
especially in politics.

It's impossible to have a debate if there isn't one speaker to argue in
favor of the proposition, and one to argue against. It's adversarial.

I suggest those people keep their opinions to themselves as they are
unwilling to hold their objections while others offer their own opinions.

Another option might be to grow up.
