Then go hear them in a small, ticketed venue. When speakers choose to make their point in the public square, they invite challenge.
-
Yes. That's what I'd want to do. But no-one can challenge them if they can't hear them, can they? Wasted opportunity.

The history of effective free expression is often passionate/loud: - Boston Tea Party - modern Tea Party - Congress town halls (2009, 2017)

I'm not suggesting otherwise. We have a long history of yelling over ideas we don't like rather than engaging them. Let's do better.

Speech has 2 roles: - deliberation (Senate at best, courts, universities) - engaged/passionate/organizing (effective protests, universities)
-
Speech has many roles.I support ppl's right to shout &scream abt ideas they don't like as long as they don't prevent me from discussing them
-
Are we really at risk of ideas not being discussed in US or UK? If so, seems real cause is power of elites/classes with historical power.
-
Yes. Certain ideas get shouted down, censored, punished. Yes, there is evidence that this is coming from elite universities.
