Well, yes, these are controversial opinions. If they make you feel uncomfortable, that's fine - controversy does that. If you think anything that makes you feel uncomfortable should be illegal to say, then maybe you just don't care about free speech.

A vocal subset of the people that are uncomfortable are jumping to censorship as a means to solve problems. Both the political left and right do it. They don't want to hear opposing ideas, and they're increasingly trying to tune it out, ban, and delete it.

This is not healthy for a functioning democracy or individual liberty and freedom.

Freedom of speech needs to remain absolute. Encroachments upon our rights endanger us all.

(Honestly, we need freedom of privacy too. I wish we could roll back the clock and install amendments to enshrine these too.)

No one said that. Please don't put words in my mouth.

That's a bit like calling a ghost pepper a "a bit spicy" and then when someone dislikes eating a whole one raw saying, "maybe you don't care for food with flavor?"
