Koolme

supports initiatives defending social ideals and freedom of expression

“Philosophy distinguishes between positive and negative freedom. Positive freedom gives opportunities for something, negative freedom frees you from something. On the one hand, there should be opportunities, channels and means for spreading the message; on the other, there should be no prohibitions, punishments, censorship or other repressions to discourage the courage to do so.”
