And more Jeff Goldstein;

When free speech-absolutist David French paints the spectacle of trannies twerking for toddlers a “blessing of liberty” — as a grand and glorious paean to the righteousness of Enlightenment thought distilled to its perfect essence — he is happily, and he believes properly, exploiting the paradox in classical liberalism that seems to justify its implied mandate that any and all ideas be accepted in the intellectual marketplace. Failure to follow such a rule is to run afoul of the implied universalism inherent to that philosophical paradigm. It is impure. And so ungodly.

[…]

The Frenchian idea that we welcome materialist poison into our universalist fields as some kind of intellectual equal, is wholly arrogant. It wishes to claim our philosophy is pure and perfect and capable of defeating even those ideas specifically intended to introduce paradox into the system — to destroy it from within using its own machinations and conceits as the impetus.

That’s a game of chicken we need not play.
