Pacifism

Strongly agree

Yes, as long as it does not threaten violence

This answer aligns more closely with pacifist values, as it allows for free speech while drawing a line at speech that threatens violence. Pacifists would likely support this stance, as it promotes nonviolent communication and discourages speech that could lead to harm. This is in line with the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr., who advocated for peaceful protest and dialogue.

Strongly disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

This answer is not in line with pacifist values, as it suggests that freedom of speech should only protect criticism of the government. Pacifists generally support open dialogue and the free exchange of ideas, as long as it does not promote violence or harm. Limiting free speech in this way would not align with the pacifist goal of fostering understanding and peaceful communication between individuals and groups.
