Let’s say you’re a “benevolent dictator” with complete power over legislative and judicial processes. What laws would exist involving speech(public square and private)? What would punishments look like (if any)?

    That all sounds pretty reasonable, although, the last part could be hard to lay out. Would you engage with any type of punishment?

      Punishment is always a hard thing to decide, with any types of laws. It should deter others from doing it, if possible convince the offender not to repeat it, but also not be too severe as not to reinforce the problematic idea or create a martyr.

      Some kind of community service is appropriate I think. Unless they try to actively organize an action to murder, then it should be prison.
