      In fact I would say Milos largest audience are feminists who flock to disrupt him, making him more popular, and play the victim over words.

      The point is not what you think of Milo but whether we should ban ideas we think are hateful. Not agreeing on which are strengthens a 'no.'

      We shouldn't ban ideas. Ideas don't hurt people, people do that. Because at the core hateful "ideas" are the result of hateful people

      Well again back to "everyone's reality is subjectively true" crap. If feminists see Milo as hateful in their mind he is.

      It's an important tactic for them though. To label people negative adjectives. It allows them to follow Alinsky's rules for radicals

      This is just tribalism. Assume I am talking about people making sincere arguments for banning certain types of speech coz they think harmful

      We can all agree with that. But right now I'm talking abt sincere arguments for & against free expression of ideas.

          Talk is cheap is probably an axiom for a reason: under pressure fear the motivator that collapses conflicting beliefs on each other.

          OK but this is a completely different topic and so is how tribalism can affect perceptions of other people's speech. I'm going to leave it.

          Yes I absolutely agree about sincere arguments; however what I've experienced (I'm a 60's liberal boomer) is that those fail under pressure.

          OK but I'd still like to discuss ideas themselves. We all know that tribalism or politics messes with them in practice.

          Our political lives may be motivated by them but in the end we live & vote & then *suffer* by them. Ergo our ideas must B DEEPLY challenged.

          Ideas are rational and with good intention. They best of those idea intentions require near-heroic behavior under pressure.
