Yes! A lot of people get angry when you tell them that, but I think that people should be able to say vile, hateful things. Not because those things contribute anything meaningful to society, but the only way you can possibly have a chance to challenge the views of those people is by knowing that they have those in the first place.

Do you think that black people should debate the confederate flag in the marketplace of ideas of the Forza Motorsport Decal Upload form? When they see that the car next to them in a race is full of hateful symbols, they should reply by quickly going into their car customization screen and equipping their "BLM" decals?
