Also this all feels disingenuous to me in a world where some beliefs are still subject to state repression. What if someone showed up to this “safe space” with their opinion that America is an active evil in the world and should be destroyed? How soon would the FBI show up?

I wish people would be more thoughtful about the limits of liberalism, and, more importantly, about how to create nonviolent means of working through those disagreements that cannot be effectively mediated by liberalism.
