By “we” I mean citizens, by “enemies” I mean those with intolerant or hateful language.

Granting the government control of language is currently gaining momentum online. While I am adamantly against intolerance, I believe we should meet speech with speech, rather than censorship.

Once the government has legal authority for censorship, we’re just one corrupt leader away from a dictatorship.
