Because everyone is more important than anyone else & they all not only deserve to be heard, but if you disagree, you’re the asshole… it’s internal justification for ignorance

Not everyone deserves to be heard. That's ridiculous. Being heard means someone is listening. We don't have sufficient time or ears for everyone to be heard.

I agree that everyone deserves the chance to speak. But not everyone deserves a platform to be heard.

If someone wants to be a bigot, they can go shout about it in their backyard. But don't put the burden of hearing it on the rest of us. Ain't nobody got time for that.

I think you two are on the same page, the words they emphasized point to a ‘this is from their point of view, look how selfish they are’ kinda message.

Yeah, I wasn't sure so I worded it to possibly be agreeing :-)
