    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!

      Oh, this is a much more dire educational lack than a single word. You can’t even parse the meaning of a sentence. Sorry, kid.

        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.

                  Ultimately, the only person that knows if that was a Nazi salute is musk.

                  As well as every person who saw him do it. It’s clear as fucking day and you’re lying about it. Why?

                    It’s an opinion. I’m not saying it was, I’m not saying it wasn’t, I’m expressing some level of doubt, nothing more nothing less.

                    But I’m not here to talk about musk’s salute, I’m here to say people are entitled to an opinion.

                  Of course they should. And people who do Nazi expressions on TV should suffer the expected social consequences, because people should be responsible for the things they say and do.

                  Are you gonna defend everyone who expresses a “history of fucking your mom” this way, too?

                  Or are you going to admit that appealing to freedom of expression isn’t really an argument in defense of a persistent pattern of behavior that includes but did not culminate with a literal Nazi salute?
