As a contrararianI'm silenced a lot. How do you suggest alignment can happen if more persuasive dissenting voices are allowed to be heard?

Contrarian on taxes, spending, organizational issues, democracy versus monarchy?

Or it, you know, those contrarian views? You know the ones.

(Personally, I'm a contrarian about the presence of fire in crowded theaters, and boy have I been silenced)
