Talk to anyone who's lived in a totalitarian, Stalinist regime, or read things like Nineteen Eighty Four and you'll find this is a very unhealthy thing to do, mentally and emotionally. It's also strictly impossible, for things that are safe today become unsafe tomorrow, because this is more about power and broken people than anything rational.
Its also dyscivic. Much, much uglier things will happen if you cede to one faction the public sphere, the "soap box" in the sequence of "soap box, ballet box, bullet box".
