The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.

  • My ideological opponents are already silencing speech.

    Uh huh. I can fire up Social Media and find endless content openly discussing the entire spectrum of Political,Cultural, and Economic beliefs. Nearly all of that is openly discussed on Mainstream Media as well. You aren’t being silenced.

    As long as fascists exist they must be silenced.

    Define “fascist”.

    When they seize power, they will not do you the courtesy of allowing you to speak…

    Which is precisely what you yourself are proposing. Congratulations, you are rubbing elbows with the very people you claim to despise.

    If you do not tolerate dissent then you are ethically and morally inferior.


  • Censorship of speech is a powerful tool. Why, if you have the true conviction of your beliefs, would you fight with one hand behind your back?

    Yes, but have you considered the outcome of everyone doing this?

    Moreover, I’ve seen no evidence in my lifetime that letting my ideological opponents speak leads to positive results.

    Mmmmm, yes. All ideological opponents should be silenced. This is clearly the way.

    Seriously, if this is what you believe then you are clearly stating that you have no interest in a Free Society. You are literally placing yourself in the same group with every other Tyrant, Authoritarian, and Fascists who needs to be resisted.

    Free Societies must tolerate dissent, it is a foundational requirement.
