Experience teaches us that it is much easier to prevent an enemy from posting themselves than it is to dislodge them after they have got possession.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To be forced to defend oneself is an inherently undesirable position to be in. The focus shifts from ideas to the person conveying them.
Now, for pure bloggers, for individual people who are just posting their own thoughts, they would still run the same risk of saying something wrong or embarrassing, but they wouldn't harm their institutions by doing so.
I think the enemy is self-censorship. In a free society the biggest danger is that you're afraid to the point where you censor yourself.
You have to protect it too, you can't let just any stupid person take it and do something demoralizing with it. At the same time, I don't believe in being so rigid about controlling what happens either.
Most of us, if we're not careful, tend to dehumanize the enemy.
It is human nature to instinctively rebel at obscurity or ordinariness.
I can't understand why people so readily put themselves up to be humiliated.
Every once in while, a person will do something obvious and direct that is no more than it appears to be. I think they do it to throw you off.
Self-expression is always a right, but it's still not there to be abused.
Soldiers willingly, sometimes foolishly, risk their own lives to keep their comrades out of enemy hands.
