The world is up shit creek partially due to humans doing what humans do best, taking something good (free speech) and ruining it by ignoring the simple rules of ethics and morals. People assume free speech gives them the right to say anything and everything, but they don't realise there is a point where free speech turns into hate speech, bigotry, sexism, racism, ignorance and stupidity in general that leads to a downward spiral of abuse and violence.
Issues is everyone wants freedom of speech, but when they take it too far they don't wish to take responsibility and it becomes everyone else's problem, as again we don't like to admit we are wrong.
They're are two Arabic terms that are quite interesting in their theology: fasad and fitna.
Fasah means to cause mischief and spreading corruption. This in turn then could lead to fitnah, which is civil unrest / sedition.
It's interesting as this is what we are seeing a lot of due to unchecked and abuse of free speech. Cancel culture, people being accused and witch hunts, race wars, it's and then off all sorts and then the loss of something good. As any parent knows, you give a kid an opportunity and if the kid screws up again and again, the opportunity or freedom of it is taken away.
People have no idea what the ripples they cast will turn into, whether they will just fizzle away or turn into a tsunami and down a poor soul.
