Hypotheticals, no matter if they're rooted in hatred, have no reason to be suppressed unless you hold similar but opposing views and are a hypocrite If those hypotheticals rooted in hatred are destructive, are causing damage, and are failing to provide any tangible benefit, I fail to see the argument for why they couldn't be suppressed. Because wanting to be free is destructive and fails to provide tangible benefit to a tyrannical rule. It's pretty fucking subjective and just works to piss off the people when democracy already stops fucked up fringe views from becoming law. Wanting to be free isn't destructive, though. That's eminently demonstrable by just looking at the state of free countries on the globe and comparing them to dictatorships. And I know of plenty of countries that restrict hateful rhetoric and the people there don't seem all that pissed off about it, so I don't buy that as an excuse either. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
