you are absolutely correct in all of that. but stifling the ability to say what a group wants is more likely to draw more people to their cause. it is human nature.
the more freedom of speech is restricted, the more people will sit around and wonder what is being kept from them. they will seek out the outlawed ideas and some will grasp onto them as truth merely because the powers that be, (which can't be trusted) are trying to suppress these ideas.
