My take on this is that all philosophies tend to get pathogical at the extremes: Communism as the extreme end of socialist ideas, unfettered libertarianism / neoliberalism as the extreme end of capitalism. Speech with no consequences and an expectation of a platform as the extreme end of free speech ideas. Abortion bans as the extreme end of "respect for life". My heuristic is that any time you're espousing a "pure", "unadulterated", "absolutist" philosophy, you're probably on the path to becoming a monster. The real world is never black and white and morally grey areas are unavoidable, if messy. Rant over =)
