Yes. We need to make sure only approved people speak. Those who speak unapproved ideas should be beaten in order to serve as a warning for others who speak wrong.

It’s not a good idea to let just anyone speak. Some voices are toxic and have to be discouraged, for the good of the community. But violence and vandalism is unacceptable, of course. All patriotic Americans should be anti-fascist.
So again, would you care to define fascism, as you understand it?

It is often the case that opposites both think that their view is better, or more just. We rely on the relative stability of the law, vigilance and public opinion to tell us who should prevail. It is a pendulum though, and it will swing a long way if you push it hard enough.

Ah, so it's mob mentality that tells us who is right and wrong. I guess that means it was right when we kept gays from being "out" because that's what public opinion was at the time. The only mistake was not treating their publicly unpopular speech the same way you say we should treat bad speech.

And, you didn't answer.
Since public opinion was against Gays, should we have not "given them room to breathe" and "discouraged, for the good of the community." I mean, you defined "good" as popular opinion.
