For the record, that is not at all what I was arguing.
I was arguing that completely unrestricted speech allows ideas that we really don't want (Nazism, etc) to become normalized.
This isn't even controversial; it's a well known phenomenon.
It's also very difficult to discuss this without talking about Trump and that instantly derails any conversation, but to address the elephant in the room, can you imagine even GW Bush saying "there were fine people on both sides"?
I also said that I don't know what the correct fix for that is.
