It really annoys when racists and libertarians cry ‘Free Speech!’ whenever their shitty and harmful viewpoints are shut down. There are many instances where you have to choose between suppressing one person’s speech or another. It’s literally impossible to protect everyone’s free speech equally because some forms of free speech dampen other forms of free speech (for example, you can’t have white supremacists calling for the extermination of other races and also have Black Lives Matter).

So there comes a point where you have to choose which side you’re on, and work to shut down the other side. Racists have picked a side and it’s not the right one.
