Freedom is should be a vitally important thing to liberals, but it is not the only important thing. I notice a tendency for some classical liberals and those on the more libertarian end to think that ethical evaluation ends at "Did you choose to do this freely?"

I also think the manner in which those ideas/behaviours is challenged is important. Calling out a bully is one thing, but saying “that’s racist” isn’t an argument or explanation of why it’s racist and may simply provoke indignant defensiveness rather than re-evaluation.

Of course, I’ll probably now be told that’s tone-policing and an expression of my privilege, and that the oppressed are under no obligation to educate others or to be polite.

Yes, that is epistemic violence. For shame.

As my Grandmother oft said - "Tolerance does not equate to approval. Live and let live, as long as no direct harm accrues." Looking forward to your writing on this.

I look forward to it. Obviously, absolute freedom is not even possible, so we are at the "where do you draw the line" problem. I vote to keep the line freedomward and move it away only under duress.
