@condret@mitchconner Sounds like a good argument against democracy to me. The narrow sense of everyone voting on how your society works, not the broad sense of civil liberties.
I think there should be better ways of ensuring bad policies don't get implemented than forbidding everyone to think or speak of them in a crypto-authoritarian way. Like making sure that they don't get debated on, but only in government meetings. And not allowing assholes to have power.
