Unfortunately you're right that in a system where true dialogue can't exist to make bad arguments die appropriately this doesn't work well or at all. However neither does a censorship ideology since that can be manipulated, being my point that drawing lines results in new lines further. Given the Catch-22, I'd rather be open than allow someone control who can say what.

Don't you think rather than the problem being anyone being able to say racist or hateful things, maybe the problem is too many other people are fine with such things when they're said? That's why I said it's deeper than just the 1st Amendment.
