All the buzzwords are there, toxicity, harassment, safe spaces, sanction, ban, inclusivity. All to promote/cement the viewpoints that we now understand to be ,self evidently, the correct ones.

The most tolerant societies end up tolerating the intolerable.

I'll embrace that. Yes, the most tolerant societies tolerate the intolerable, and that's good and right.

Tolerating the intolerable is much worse than that.

A society ends up nourishing something that destroys it, because the intolerable is under no obligation to play fair.

Germany has sharply limited censorship laws. I do not oppose them more out of respect for the victims of Nazism than any genuine agreement that they do good; but I will oppose their expansion. I do not think they are useful; I think they are limited in harm.
