a necessary impediment? no reasonable person denies the holocaust, but it's also not reasonable to try to suppress denial, no matter the desire, because that has its own paradoxical consequences.
it's the same overbearing fear-driven irrationality that gets us into lockdowns that destroy lives and livelihoods rather than accepting that heightened risks are not going away no matter what we do, providing accurate (not politicized) information widely, and then trusting people to act appropriately (and diversely).
the drive to the same application of force and authoritarianism you're trying to deny is astonishing.
