Re: Outrage
I think it's a question of degree.
Group which promote out and out hate eg
Neo nazis;
anti-semitism;
racism;
homophobia;
transphobia
should not be allowed to
eg book meeting rooms at public libraries;
give talks at universities
but I don't support no-platforming for
eg disagreements about what the minimum wage should be;
or what income tax should be;
or what trade deals should be.
My threshold for no platforming is "is this talk likely to incite people who attend [or listen to a recording of it later] to verbal abuse, discrimination, or physical violence towards minority groups?"
Re: Outrage
"Is this talk likely going to incite verbal abuse towards minority groups" would be used to ban all non-Christian non-male people from speaking by the minister of the church I had to attend growing up. In his worldview, followers of his religion were persecuted minority surrounded by heathen masses. Pointing out his sexism and bigotry was religious discrimination.
