The marketplace of ideas is a completely made up thing to justify a stance of political non-action against real harms. People who are for example planning a mass shooting against a demonized minority are not participating in such a market, to the extent it exists at all.

And the people planning shooting against a demonized majority?

They're probably not in that "market" either! Thanks for asking this totally sincere, clarifying and helpful question.
