  • The concept of free speech is being intentionally misused by right wing trolls, it doesn’t mean “you can say anything without consequences”. It means “you can’t to jail for saying stuff”, but depending on what you said, there’s cases where you should definitely be ridiculed, banned or punched for it.

    IMO the USA’s “no exceptions to free speech” approach is a big mistake.

    Hate speech shouldn’t be free speech, because people’s rights to not be attacked for no reason should override bigots’ rights to say whatever garbage they think.

    Dangerous misinformation shouldn’t be free speech. Without all of the COVID denialist conspiracies the pandemic could’ve ended a year sooner and avoided millions of pointless deaths

    Also worth remembering that the echo chambers that scream non stop about FREEZEPEACH don’t actually have any. Try disagreeing with anything in r/conservative and you’ll get an instant ban
