gollark: Ridiculing people is cool and good™, censoring them isn't.

gollark: Power concentrated like that is *inherently* pretty bad because it could be misused at some point.

gollark: Suuuuuure.

gollark: If people believe things which cause them to make stupider decisions, too bad, they shouldn't do that.

gollark: Maybe with children, sure, as they can't really meaningfully decide very well.
