    Nah free speech means the government won’t stop you. It doesn’t mean we gotta listen to you or give you a platform for the hate whether it’s irl or online. Gotta read that first ammendment a bit more throughly my dude

      Lol cracks me up that there are people out there thinking free speech means people have to pay them advertising money no matter what you say.

        I mean let’s be real, to 90% of these right wing nuts “freedom of speech” really just means “freedom to force other private parties to support, amplify, and endorse MY speech as I stifle the speech of those who disagree.”

        You misread me, first ammendment protects you from the govt, not from others refusing to listen to you. Man you’re dense

        In that “far away land”, yes, because the meaning of freedom of speech (as people, with great fatigue, have tried to tell you) is about consequences related to the government of that “far away land”

        If we want to get to the heart of the matter, that people aren’t fond of your Musk fellating, inceldom riddled comment history that you possibly, unfortunately, decided to export from some sewer on Reddit, that’s not them hating free speech.

            The meaning of those words is absolutely some law, whether natural or governmental, and depends entirely upon the context of the power structure involved.

            If you got slapped in your goofy ass face every time you said, well let me just pull up a real, actual quote from you:

            "Women do not want to help men but they expect help from them.

            That doesn’t make me miserable that’s just accepting the world the way it is and it’s a life lesson men tend to learn the hard way."

            If they slapped your extremely goofy, unserious face and called you a generalizing, pathetic, and small person, that wouldn’t be them hating free speech.

            Hell, they’d be exercising it! How wonderful!

            Now, if the government came to your door and impounded your 4 wheel drive incompetence with relationships, then you might have a victorious day in court.
