  • Violence (or the threat of it) is the only means of influence that the people have ever had. As you've correctly identified, when other avenues of enacting their will are stymied, violence results, but that threat of violence must be what sits behind every vote, or the vote would have no power.

    To put it succinctly, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

  • My ideological opponents are already silencing speech. I gain nothing by ceding that tool solely to them.

    As long as fascists exist they must be silenced. When they seize power, they will not do you the courtesy of allowing you to speak just because you let them. It's naive to think otherwise.

  • Censorship of speech is a powerful tool. Why, if you have the true conviction of your beliefs, would you fight with one hand behind your back?

    Moreover, I've seen no evidence in my lifetime that letting my ideological opponents speak leads to positive results.

  • Disagree! I think he has the least pressure on him of any driver on the grid (except Lance). If he's good, then that's great for him. If he's bad then it confirms that no one can drive the car except Max.

  • I think it highlights the money-grubbing absurdity of Formula 1 that Zandvoort is going to be allowed to drop off the calendar while Max is still racing.

    Think about how much they must be charging tracks to host events for it not to be worth it to host a home race for a driver with one of the most rabid fanbases I've ever seen.
