I'm gonna add that free speech is free speech as long as it's not used to threat and intimidate. Those people do not know what real free speech is.
It's you who don't seem to understand what free speech is. Free speech is free speech period. As long as you have free speech you shouldn't be concerned about someone intimidating you because you always have the chance to answer back and the truth always prevail on evil and bullshit.
You dont understand the consequences of this take, I hope you get to understand one day.
I too hope that you understand that freedom is the only viable way to truth and justice
I too hope that you understand that breakfast is the only viable way to pancakes and maple syrup
Are you ok?
I too hope that you understand that pancakes is the only viable way to blueberries and syrup.
What anime did you get this idea of free speech from?
If you are interested in anime and japanese novels there's plenty of these that will teach you about freedom and free speech, one piece is probably one of the most popular.
God this response is so adorable lol
Free speech is the ability to speak freely. It is not the ability to speak freely without consequence nor a guarantee to have people listen to what you say. Someone telling you to fuck off and shut up because they don't want to hear your bullshit is their free speech right.
Oh to be so naive.
In the face of facts proving the election was not stolen while Trump presented zero evidence to show it was... how many Republicans still believe the lies to this day? It doesn't help that the entire party carries water to support the lies...
Actually, even in "fullest freedom of speech" places like the US or Canada, that does not extend to actionable threats. If you threaten a person in a context where they actually think they are in danger, that's a crime.
Free speech also doesn't apply to harassment in pretty much any country. If it did you could never have something like a no-contact order on an abusive ex-partner, for example.
At the extreme end, free speech has plenty of limits even in the West. CP, snuff films, grooming, non-consentual distribution of sexual images, incitement of violence, etc are all illegal. For obvious reasons.
