There is a lovely balance in between both extremes which can and does work and in the chance that your life literally is in danger due to rage or they are beyond a point of being able to talk to them then and only then more force is needed but NEVER in anger. Only standing your ground but staying in the realm of reason.(04-29-2019, 09:57 PM)taramarie Wrote:(04-28-2019, 05:24 PM)AspieMillennial Wrote: I will refuse to be considered to be someone who was for censorship in the future. If some punk snot nosed kid in the future blames me for it for the year I was born in I'll chew them out and say how it took far more bravery to be me and against censorship in an era where people were for censorship and how they weren't brave because they were in the majority. I would chew him out majorly until he apologized to me otherwise I'd keep ranting and raving and pissing the idiot off. Also I'm not interested in the music right now so I refuse to be blamed for it. If another snot nosed kid blames me for it I too will chew them out on how they're ingrates and that back then I had to search for music while they didn't. Believe me, I will give the future generation a piece of my mind if they decide to blame me. Since I'm against the narrative of my so-called generation and will be blamed by future generations I'll have a lot of people I will have to chew out, spit, and leave in the dust. I don't care if it's in my generation or some generation before or after me. Nobody blames me or tells me what to think without negative consequences. It takes far more bravery to be me, an anti censorship person in a time where censorship is lauded than to be anti censorship when it's a safe opinion. I for one refuse to take any form of disrespect. How do you think they'll react to this?
I think they will further disrespect us if they have Millennials treating them with hate. Hate does nothing but divide people further. We can explain to them calmly what happened in our day and how it has impacted us and what we tried to do about it. Talk not hate will help bring about understanding.

In my experience, people are far more disrespectful to you when you're docile to them after they treat you badly. People only respect people that stand up for themselves because if you don't respect yourself who will? You need to demand respect in this world because respect isn't simply going to happen. Also I see the disrespect as going to happen either way. They have no reason to stop disrespecting if you just make excuses and plead for understanding. I'm pro free speech and will be blamed for being anti free speech. I think this is unfair so I have no choice but to fight it. You may say understanding takes time but I don't have 20 years to wait for some other cultural shift to happen when I'll almost be dead anyways.
If someone is hostile to you or the entire group or society disagrees with your views, how else do you make yourself heard without getting loud? If you're vastly outnumbered it could be your only option to be heard. For some people calm discussion works but for others? It doesn't work; they just walk all over you. It all depends on how reasonable the personality type you're dealing with is. In my experience there are certain people in which talking it out doesn't work.
