Bizarre that people keep using the phrase "marketplace of ideas" like it's a good thing.
Cause, yeah, unregulated capitalism has a track record of leading to excellent outcomes?

@MrBerard It *is* a good thing. It's how public perception shifts. It's why we now have civil rights that we didn't have 50 years ago. It's why Trump wasn't able to crush dissent. It's why you're free to make this argument against it.
Unregulated capitalism doesn't work because everyone doesn't start on the same foot, so it just entrenches inequality.
But speech and ideas are free and we can all participate, not just the wealthy. The best ideas will rise to the top of our discourse and endure.
