Martin Luther King specifically said that he wanted people judged on the quality of their character, of which dishonesty is definitely a part.

I think both MLK and Lennon would be against the side calling for violence, considering how their lives ended.

I doubt MLK would object to the marginalization of Alex Jones. Certainly modern racial justice advocates are, by and large, not clamoring for his restoration. But, we can't know for sure, and, regardless, his hypothetical opinion on this question doesn't matter very much to me.

That's not the point. The point is that separating people based on their beliefs is nothing new, and generally frowned upon by history.

Forcible, violent segregation by race and declining to publish videos by content and truthfulness are far too dissimilar for me to reason about their relationship in the eyes of history.

Those are examples, but the principle is the same.

Maybe to you.
