The example of Daily Stormer is not a good one.  The site was being used
to organise alleged criminal activity up to and including murder.  It
was hardly a case of 'waking up in a bad mood', subsequent to the death
of Heather Heyer.  Incidentally, Chomsky is rather less of a libertarian
when it comes to criticisms of his own work.
