It seems you’re against people having a freedom to express themselves and exchange ideas. Historically denying this freedom accompanies authoritarian societies where propaganda and echo chambers make it seem like these actions are virtuous when they are actually not. Even the word “reactionary” is pejorative and was used widely in Soviet Russia and in China during the cultural revolution. Isn’t it better to let ideas be heard and debated even if controversial or disagreeable?
