Really? People censoring themselves is the problem? Whenever I take a peek at social feeds I see people saying crazy things, insults, conspiracy theories, hate, etc. Usually I end up the feeling that the larger the audience and concurrency of engagement, the less people censor the them selves, it usually even make them see extra things that normally they won't say.

Yes. For example, very few people in SV can openly say they are going to vote for Trump.

Yes, people don't censor themselves when they are in majority. For example, those who live in SV, and support gay marriage and BLM, they can throw insults without repercussions.

If you want respect don't admit to supporting bigotry.

Also, not accepting that people consider Trump a better presidental candidate is bigotry exactly, by definition from the dictionary.

The fun fact about the word "bigotry" is that people who use "bigotry" as insults are very often bigots themselves.

Cool, let's rephrase. If you want respect don't admit to being prejudiced against the way people are born. Being prejudiced against choices people make is completely fine.

Wait until you read about the whole "free will" issue.

I fully accept that free will isn't real. I also fully accept my ability to change the utility maximizing decision by not respecting people who don't respect others because of the way they were born.
