#Isegoria
#Parrhesia
The Ancient Greeks understood the difference between the freedom to say anything (#parrhesia) and defending a wide equality in sharing ideas for the public good (#isegoria). Edgelords favor the former but their trolling deters speech, being an attack on the latter. To stand up for democracy and an open culture, we must be harsh towards efforts to force speech on others but gentle with any actions that limit anybody's access to others' speech. #fediblockmeta #SocialWeb

BellingenNSW"There are instances of reparative democracy all over the world.
Some are fleeting and partial; others are more sustained. Many emerge from the indigenous and the young, who do not need to be told that human and nonhuman life are interdependent, that the world is in an emergency state, and that constitutional liberal democracy is both incapable of addressing that emergency and itself an exhausted form."
"For reparative democracy oriented by the ecological emergency, for example, we need new ways of envisioning and hearing the nonhuman and our place within it. Sound theory, and especially bioacoustics, has much to teach us here. So also do some parts of indigenous cosmologies and ways of knowing." Wendy Brown
