Make stupidity illegal

When I mean breed I mean it figuratively, you can use fester, multiply, persist.

I believe in the freedom of speech and thought. However, at what point should we tolerate stupidity? When I see countless comments how global warming is fake, wanting free education or healthcare to stimulate and maximize education and health makes you immoral, or how I.C.E cars are going to be replaced by EVs are a pipe dream. When the defense of those ideals are because the GOP or some conservative talking point/shills say so. How much of that should we actually tolerate? I am finding that allowing stupidity to breed is doing more harm that good.

In Europe there are usually restrictions to freedom of speech, EG you can't propagate racism or fascism, or go against constitutional principles. But people still have the right to express opinions inside certain limits - The only reasons to want them banned would be an incapacity to counter them. And why the well can't I be against free education and healthcare? I'm not, but if I believed the government sucked at owning things, I had my right to be against it .

True, however I doubt you have parroted talking points about it either. Mainly the down right idiocy of people, I am more ranting out o frustration, however I still feel there needs to be a point where idiocy should not be tolerated. I live in the south, I am surrounded by the most horrible ignorance conservatives you can think of. I also never said ban free speech, just restrict it. It almost you have to be here and witness the stupidity and how many people it literally hurts.
