    Amoral isn’t a virtue worth upholding. We should encourage good things and discourage bad things.

        Good news, you have that freedom. But everybody else has the freedom to decide not to associate with you for it.

          I don’t think public institutions should be able to make that call. Private institutions and individuals, sure.

              Because I don’t want to give some unelected bureaucrats the ability to discommunicate someone because they said something stupid. Public goods are meant to serve the public, even if they have bad opinions.

                I think the limit should be pretty high, but I’m fine with, as an example, people who spread abject hatred being rejected by most parts of society. I think not spreading hatred against your fellows is an integral part of the social contract.
