gollark: You are not going to make people budge on their opinions by saying "no, this opinion is illegal now" or something.
gollark: Okay, too bad, don't let them do much based on it I guess.
gollark: The "paradox" conflates "letting people say things you dislike" with "letting them act on it/ignoring it/not countering it sensibly/whatever else".
