I agree, in the sense that the "woke crowd" is a person or group engaged in censorship and an authoritarian power exercise for control. It is absurd to assert that a differing thought or idea "hurts my feelings," and therefore should be banned.kent_dorfman766 wrote: ↑2023-03-17 19:59 I've always maintained that to play online you should have a thick skin and "grow a pair", but the "woke crowd" will be quick to hammer me for using a sexist phrase (purely as a way of trying to exert some control over me, not for being truly hurt by the phrase). As old and disgruntled as I am, I care not.
Differing ideas will grow, strengthen and develop your own group of ideas. One should always hear different ideas. You may not agree with them, and that's okay.
Over the past couple of years I have been presented with a wide range of ideas and data on a given subject. Some of the data was banned from public discussion. In the end, I as a responsible human have to weigh the differing data, and do my own risk analysis. And of course, accept the reward or the consequences of my choices.
There never should be a ban on data. If the research or data is weak, a reasonable human being should be able to reach a reasonable conclusion. May even come down to a simple pros and cons list. Humans are capable of reason and logic - it lets you survive and hopefully thrive.
Censorship and "woke" is just tools of authoritarian control. And back to the OP, Debian is such a diverse community, I can not see how it would be locked down with censorship authority.
