    Words like 'justify' & 'defend' used in relation to horrible speech & arguments for not banning it miss the point.http://affinitymagazine.us/2017/08/27/stop-trying-to-justify-hate-speech-as-free-speech/ …

        It assumes ppl who oppose banning awful ideas don't accept that they're awful rather than that they want them exposed & countered.

        The glitch is that this isn't a spirited university debate where it doesn't matter much who wins. Losing might result in Nazis in power.

        Nazism has been defeated on the level of ideas. 'Nazi' & 'Hitler' are common metaphors for evil.

        Shallow. ACLU got it right and children are crying because they don't understand that horrible speech is the most important to defend.

        Ah! I see. Yes. I am disagreeing with it too as I expect you realised. I got lost in the flood of tweets right now.

        I'll defend the most ludicrous and ridiculous speech. That doesn't mean I agree with it. I just know if laws will protect the worst speech>>

        that will mean that even my benign shenanigans will be protected. And if those laws change, that might not be the case. So protect it all.
