I generally agree it's fine where there's an "equality of arms".

A freedom for everyone means a freedom for the capitalists, and the communists too.

By capitalists I mean business owners and/or bosses. Your boss shouldn't be able to dictate what you can say outside your job. That just lets the owners of corporations control speech.

Or choose not to hire them

This just allows capitalists to decide what is acceptable speech.

In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies

The problem is you hand government and courts the right to decide what is hate speech.

In the UK the government is already trying to classify anti-zionist speech as banned hate speech.

Laws are weapons, your enemies can use them against you.

Tony Stark is also a barely functioning alcoholic, and a lot of people complained that the MCU skipped over that.

On the one hand urology and ED are important specialisms, and it's annoying seeing them mocked. He also actually has experience in public health which makes him more qualified than most trump appointees.

On the other hand, outside of that his record is, for want of a better term, "yikes".

Fixing literally anything could tbh.

But they're always breaking more than they're fixing.
