What about Madeleine Albright spreading the idea the killing hundreds of thousands of children is `a price worth paying' on every media platform in the US?

What about the relentless promotion of capitalism and growth which is ultimately going to see us all as victims?

I detest the right-wing in all its forms, including its Democrat and Republican wings but I cannot see any ultimately positive outcome in banning their views.

(Yes, private corporations have a right to do as they like etc, etc , etc)

For what it's worth, I agree*

*I know that "me too" comments are discouraged here, but when I see someone so downvoted I'd like to show my support, even though it doesn't really offer anything.

Careful there, that might be a right wing view depending on who you ask.

True. Or left-wing, depending on who is downvoting. It's the one thing the authoritarians have in common.
