It has come to my attention that there are those on Mastodon who think that anyone who doesn't agree with their politics should be cast out of the federation.
Please stand up for Freedom of Speech.
True Freedom of Speech means you will have to deal with the fact that not everyone thinks the same way as you and will therefor come across views that either make you happy or extremly angry.
Communication is the key to making the world a better place and the only way that progress can be made.
If you lock people out becase they don't agree with you, you are only hurting those you claim to care about because those with extreme views will continue to speak, with the only difference being that no one will challenge them.
Arrogance is the biggest threat to our society.

No matter which social network you're on, following a diverse group of people helps you taking a peek at the other side of your personal filter bubble.
You don't have to agree with everything and everyone, but please, at least try to listen to people and their opinions.
It will help you appreciate your own life, and may just make you a little wiser.

2/2 anheizten, wurde von #Peking aus eine Untersuchung eingeleitet. Einer der ältesten Politiker beging darauf hin Selbstmord. Sie hatten Hongkonger Bandemitglieder veranlasst, auf Seiten der Polizei gegen die Demonstrierenden vorzugehen. Anscheinend will Peking jetzt durch Stärkedemonstration die Ordnung wieder herstellen. Die gesamte Regierung Hongkongs wurde beurlaubt und wird sich wohl zu verantworten haben.
In #Hongkong gibt es seit etwa 3 Wochen zunächst friedliche Demonstrationen. Ursache war ein Auslieferunggsgesetz, mit dem Straftäter ohne weiteres nach Mainland- #China ausgeliefert werden sollten. Das Gesetz wurde zunächst gestoppt, dann gecancelled. Jedoch goss die (Mainland treue) Regierungschefin immer weiter Öl ins Feuer. Inzwischen, auch nachdem es mehrere Tote bei Demonstranten und Polizei gab, wurde gestern klar, daß einige Politiker (alles alte Mainland treue) die Unruhen weiter 1/2
