But it's no one else's responsibility to educate or inform others. That lies solely with the individual. Furthermore, anyone that would judge a person based solely on that isn't someone worth associating with to begin with. There was a time when people would see those things and wouldn't automatically jump to conclusions and assume the absolute worst about another person.
If it comes down to it, you could simply choose to ignore the person altogether if it's something that you feel pushes you away. The point is more that people should be able to express such views without fear of someone coming up and harassing them if they choose to do so. That's far more important than the why they would do it. There shouldn't be an argument about anyone's ideology at all to begin with. That's not to say a discussion can't be had, however, a discussion and someone just coming up because they're triggered are two totally different things.
Living in a free society should mean being able to express both good and bad ideas. Ideas that people like and ideas that people hate. It's why the First Amendment is the very foundation of this country — as well as the first thing they declared.
That's why I get pissed off at retards who call for speech restrictions, too. I'm not sure how they reconcile shit in their head. The First Amendement was literally created to protect things deemed "hate-speech" — or, at the very least, speech that wasn't popular at all in society.
Why, exactly, would anyone need to declare free speech for "love-speech"? Of course Governments, Elites, and people in general would be perfectly fine with hearing speech they like and agree with. There wouldn't even need to be laws against such a thing to begin with. It was meant so people could express views people didn't want to hear, because sometimes, that's what needs to be said most.
That's an entirely different conversation, though. lol-
