I want to comment on one more thing: calling somebody a "troll" is an insult.

Over several years, I have been called troll many times, just because I called out leftist conspiracy theories or misguided conceptions about economics. I think I have only called somebody an "idiot" once, and even that was quantified with "if you believe x, you are an idiot". I always try to explain patiently what is going on.

I don't recall you ever banning somebody for calling other people a "troll". I guess it is just such a normal reaction for lefties these days, anybody who disagrees with them has to be a troll. You have banned me several times for criticising socialism, though.

You yourself are calling people "trolls", so I guess you won't change your policies. And it is fine - pg handed the site over to you, so you can form it to your liking. Just don't pretend you are doing it for some higher values. You just don't like criticism of leftist ideology, that is all there is to it. As long as you don't ban people for spouting insults, spare me your "guidelines".

I strongly suspect you never had a 101 humanities class. Pretty sure "philosophy" is all about what you know and what you can and what you have to believe.

Maybe you confuse it with "Bible class 101", where you get told a set of moral rules that you are supposed to follow and never question, because they are supposedly given by god.

Still, I would be curious to hear your reasoning of why it is supposedly morally mandatory to believe in the Holocaust?

That is why people are supposed to have arrangements with other people who can decide for them when they are in coma. Usually it is family, but you can also designate other people.

At least in my country that is the case, not sure how the US handles it.

Certainly there are people who prefer to not be forcibly intubated. Or consider other cases where life supporting machines are even more gruesome.

I mean if the government kills them, obviously. Would it then be free speech? Everybody could say what they want, it's just the consequence could be a death sentence.

Not freedom of consequences: that is a bit too vague. What if the consequence is that somebody shoots you dead if you say the wrong thing? According to you, they still have free speech? Actually I think some real world dictator was literally making that joke, proclaiming that there is freedom of speech in his country. He just can't guarantee for the outcomes.

People have different ideals. A lot of people really care about free speech and freedom in general.
