See here is where we vociferously disagree,

I never be one of those people who feels comfortable deciding who gets the right to speak and who doesn’t. In fact, the spirit of our Constitution is anti-majoritarian and while business do get to make these choices legally, the choices they make matter (spirit vs. letter of the laws).

If people skip the article entirely and go straight to the comments, the writer isn’t a very good writer. In fact, my belief is that it is our job to counter discourse that we disagree with and make a BETTER argument (a point I have made several times and you ignored). In addition, silencing speech you don’t agree with pushes it underground and even makes it more attractive (the forbidden fruit problem). The marketplace also acts as a safety valve that helps discourse and interventions happen BEFORE speech gets out of control. All of these things are impossible when underground silo’s are created.

In addition, it is a bit ironic that you are discussing this with me in the comment section of an article that I wrote. I welcome the discourse and the discussion.

The idea that the gatekeepers should decide what the public reads is not just elitist, it is fascist. I don’t care if you are a fascist for the left or for the right, I oppose fascism and as one of my heroes said: “This Machine Fights Fascism!”

I engage with the opposition all the time, sometimes we agree to disagree, sometimes we block each other, and sometimes the discussions change us both. It is our responsibility to CHANGE minds not vote people off the island. All people have the right to make their own decisions and share their own opinions. No matter who they come for first, they will eventually be coming for you.

Ultimately, people have the right to unpopular and even ‘dangerous’ ideas. We have all agreed that there are limits to what people can do with those ideas, but I personally would rather have a discussion about it than have that discussion occur in some hate group silo or on the Dark Web. In addition, I absolutely do not trust anyone else not you, not a professor, not Google or Facebook, and certainly not the Trump government to decide what I get to say or read.

Thanks for the discussion!
