You’re never going to change someone’s mind for the better by making their ideas illegal, no matter how terrible or harmful they are.
I would rather people who think murder is right be free to say that so I know who they really are, then pretend that I can make laws to change their nature.
The solution to evil ideas is not evil actions, it is conversations and empathy.
Obviously it’s harder work to talk to someone who holds horrible beliefs then to ban their thoughts, but it’s important work which we should all be willing to take on.
