But to the bolded, I will happily watch anyone take on the extremes of any viewpoint or movement. Many extreme viewpoints are dogmatic and have little to no actual critical thinking behind them, and they should be ridiculed if they haven't considered a counter-argument to their position for even a second. That's why free speech is good and important. We have to able to challenge each other's views. It's that challenge and critique that forces use to sharpen our logic and rhetoric, and it often leads to good and useful viewpoints that help to serve a cause.

I agree with that. It's why I loved
The Closer, but it's also why most people will only ever hear that Dave is a rabid transphobe and exercise no further critical thought. Of course it's exactly the response he was banking on.
