I honestly don't understand libertarians. they think this is part of some WoKe AgEnDa and that suppressing misinformation and hate is somehow a bad thing. these people call leftists 'utopian' yet live in a fantasy world where having a nuanced discussion in the Marketplace of IdeasTM is somehow enough to stop bad ideas from existing and doing harm. they think that social media shouldn't stop hate before it's too late, and that we should just let nazis alone in their echo chambers.

maybe i'm in the wrong here, maybe we should just leave them alone. I just don't even know
