[quote=@Ace of Hearts] I'll take "being an enabler" for 600, Alex. also, allowing people to spread ignorance is pretty bad; global warming deniers do exactly that. [/quote] I mean, it wasn't too long ago that supporting gay rights and non-white rights were seen as ignorance. There was a time where African Americans were actively being denied their rights to free speech by those who assumed they were just trash. The entire point of the 1st amendment is to try and prevent things like this from happening (it still happens regardless, showing that it only really matters when people enforce the constitution) because people are not objective. I'd argue you'd be enabling more civil rights to be taken away, out of a misguided belief that you could actually destroy an ideology by preventing people legally from talking about it. It's not like people don't follow the law, the war on drugs went well, why not the war on the 1st amendment? I'd also argue that more comprehensive education would lessen the number of nazis rather than outright pretending free speech doesn't exist.
