Opinion

This is a very tricky topic to balance. How to stop the spread of harmful ideology that can set humanity back on its positive progressive path but also allow people to have their freedom of expression and not cage the human mind or soul. Freedom of expression is an important part of human culture and taking that away can lead to a dystopia of conformed and inflexible culture or society. On the other hand there are people who spread a culture that is toxic and to be frank, leads humanity into a negative path rather than positive. No ideology should try to control each other, they should let the individuals choose their own beliefs and ideas and not force a mindset on another individual. This can flourish a multitude of beautiful expressions and ideas that may have never come to fruition. However, this is not an idea world and when one ideology begins forcibly imposes itself onto others then what can you do but fight fire with fire, or have an alternate ideology so powerful that is impossible to suppress. Sometimes the best ways to change a society or group is not to suppress it, but show it another way of life that can be better. To be an optimist... positive prevails over negative as long as positive doesn't do negative things.
