Say a farmer notices they accidentally dropped their rat poisson into the milk. Should they still sell it? Assume it comes with the warning "this will kill you", printed large enough to inform exactly the same fraction of customers as PaleMoon users who have the competence and information to make an informed judgement regarding its security. Also: this has absolutely nothing to do with "leftism" and "dictatorship", and "conformity". Except in the sense that those terms have apparently become synonyms for "not doing stupid things that will harm you" to people prone to use all-caps.
