Beware the 1% of Malevolence

Free speech advocates acknowledge the challenges posed by a small percentage of malevolent individuals who exploit this freedom for harmful purposes. The impact of such actors can outweigh the value of free speech, revealing the difficulties in regulating their behavior. Those with a higher degree of agreeableness, often found among more liberal or progressive individuals, may struggle to recognize the potential for evil and manipulation, leading to misguided compassion. This can result in an inclination to view wrongdoers as victims, overshadowing the reality that a significant portion of crime is perpetrated by a small, incorrigible group. Acknowledging the reality of individuals driven by self-interest and malice is crucial for a comprehensive understanding of societal dynamics.
