Not if we can stop people like you from getting their way.

Okay, I see now why people don't feel compelled to waste time with you.

I am of the Burkean school of conservative thought, and anarchy begats fewer rights than does civilization. You cannot have civilization without inherent restraint of bad behavior, and as Burke said, "and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. "

Whatever. As long as you understand that you want to restrict Free Speech rights in pursuit of your civilized world. In my civilized world (USA c. 2017), we don't imprison people for their political expression, no matter how crude. Imprisoning people for political beliefs seems a little uncivilized to me.
