You’re advocating for a censorship regime that would put me in jail for words that you happen to think are dangerous.
Ergo, your words threaten my safety.

Google the paradox of tolerance. Essentially the only thing that cant be tolerated is intolerance.
>"[...] But we should claim the right to suppress them [intolerant ideologies] if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols."
The paradox of tolerance is not about censoring others. If anything, censorship lands on the side of the intolerant of this paradox.
