You're attacking a strawman. I think it's clear that it's the dose that makes the poison. Hate speech laws and debanking are a recent phenomena and add a degree of severity to the punishment that the governments can mete out that has not existed in modern times. Additionally the internationalization of policing means you can no longer easily escape to another country. You can't go hang out in Canada or Switzerland anymore. And there did used to be a culture of high tolerance, 'I don't agree with what you say but I will defend to the death for your right to say it,' that has all but disappeared.
