        Opinion:

        a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge

        What’s your point? Other than trying to discredit me by insinuating I’m an idiot?

        I never thought that endorsing the freedom of speech would be so controversial!

            asks definition of a wordwhen given the definition moves the goal posts in an incredibly condescending way.

            Why don’t you stop criticising me as a person and say what you want to say in plain English?

            I take it you can’t articulate your problem with my argument and that’s why you have a problem with me instead.

                Ok, that’s fine, but what you are doing is equating everyone that expresses a different opinion on musks salute to a Nazi, and whilst I understand why that is a popular opinion here, I don’t think it’s entirely helpful.

                You could say it’s your opinion that they are gullible, delusional, easily misled or whatever else, let me know when democracy, the rule of law and human rights are being infringed and let’s talk.

                  If you’re arguing it wasn’t a Nazi salute you either never saw it on purpose or you’re lying. Either way it’s a sign you’re a bad person and probably shouldn’t be given a platform to spread hate. Sorry that’s so complicated!

                    I’m not arguing about Musk here, I’m arguing whether people should be allowed to express themselves.

      Yes they are. And as you said, you personally should be subjected to opinion you don’t like.

        Exactly the point, I don’t know why I’m struggling to get that across, apparently people get it when you say it!

      I should be allowed to play the drums in your bedroom at any time of the day or night I please and you’re not allowed to kick me out because freeze peaches

        Invasion of privacy, breech of the peace, trespassing and probably more.

        Your terrible analogy has almost nothing to do with freedom of speech, if you think a redditor writing an opinion on Musk is equivalent to them playing the drums in your bedroom at night, you might be a tad sensitive.
