He was banned from the gym for being an awful person, not because he's a threat to anyone. I don't actually think Richard Spencer poses a threat to society because everyone is aware he's a tribal kook. It's the people who are much more subtle about their racism that actually pose a threat - like Jeff Sessions.

Arguably, government anti-discrimination laws reflect the bare amount of intervention needed to keep society running properly. There are other immutable characteristics besides race and love that could potentially face discrimination, but there hasn't been an apparent need for new laws. At any rate, if Richard Spencer was anything less than the single most visible white supremacist in modern America, he would still have his gym membership. That is a low bar to jump.

when you outlaw speech that aims to harm a group, politicians will then claim that the opposing side is trying to harm them. this is why you can't just outlaw neo-national socialistsm

The arguments that Rooged made had no hint of opposing free speech.

I support the freedom of businesses to deny service because if their position is radically different than that of the market they're in, it won't be economically sustainable.

Remember when Chick-Fil-A said they didn't support gay marriage, and their sales increased by 30%, causing company record-breaking sales, due to a conservative appreciation event?

Currently, if you were to say "no Muslims can come to my restaurant" in California, you'd have a problem, yeah. But what if we see a surge in nationalism around the country? What about disaffected groups living in the deep south where the values of the people stereotypically tend to reflect bigotry? You're going to need recourse in these areas to protect them. There's way more of these people than there are Richard Spencers, it's not worth throwing them under the bus.
