So people against free speech want something along the lines of having a government that can forcibly stop ideas and messages of hate. Of course there are many subjects most people can agree are nonsensical and will probably only bring harm to people but there is a fact that the power to ban what can and cannot be said is in the hands of a human beings "politicians".
I want to ask Liberals, Democrats pretty much anyone who believes the government should have the power to force a certain way of speaking.
When the government has this power..
1. How long do you think time will go on before the beliefs you hold are the minority and are the ones that are subjected to illegal speech?
2. How do you make sure the politicians that control what is legal speech and illegal speech don't go willy nilly and use their new power to remove oppositional speaking?
3. If you already believe this why is it worth the risk?
When you take any % of freedom away from the people you are also taking it from yourself.
