You don't have a right to force ME to host your opinions. Just like you don't have a right to force Amazon to sell your products or to force a library to carry your book. You DO have a right, in the US, to be protected from a gove

I think the point is: customers aren't always rational; MBAs and economists tend to assume in rational actors in their models. Blaming customers for being "stupid" seems like a good way to deflect for one's own failures
