Well, but that’s just a bad opinion. I don’t think we need to go full-on attack mode against any particular person who has any particular “incorrect” opinion even if it is hateful or whatever. People can just talk it out. I’m probably in the minority on that, I know that it’s popular at this point to go on the attack against anyone who steps on any one of a set of particular rhetorical land mines. I just feel like by doing that, you aren’t really educating anyone, you’re just introducing coercion into the equation and teaching people to be dishonest about what they believe if they don’t want to get attacked.

The issue with Dessalines that I haven’t seen from Nutomic is that he requires everyone else to have bad opinions, too, and will ban or attack them if they ever express anything other than his own bad opinions, on certain topics. That’s a lot more toxic to me than someone just saying something that I think is ignorant.
