    Censorship should make us uncomfortable for all those reasons, but I think history has shown hate speech can’t be beaten with just reason. Whether this specific proposal is worth the precedent is another question on top of that, though.

      I’m not against it for the tolerance/intolerence aspect, I’m against it for the potential weaponization.

      Could a future government say “woke” speech is hate speech? That’s why I think we need to be careful.
