I surely don't believe in absolute freedom of speech as a good condition for the level of discourse, but I do think that It's better to have a lot of free speech rather than having the opinions be controlled by corrupt groups.

Either way, while there are honest Libertarians that believe it is the best way, I'm sure a lot of people only defend free speech because it keeps them from being held accountable for their own degeneracy. Without people protecting the level of discourse as well, (as in good authorities) there's nothing stopping subversive groups from corrupting the ideas that people talk about destroying morality as well in the process.

Freedom of speech is good. Freedom of behaviour is bad. If you said deluxe nigger faggot in a sentence like this one, there's no aggression behind it, so I don't see a problem, because you know when the conversation is over, it's over.
