Literally no “free speech absolutist” has ever actually been a “free speech absolutist”, it is always about wanting to avoid the consequences to their own hate speech, while they hold anyone who opposes it doubly accountable for their opposition, and try, often successfully, to silence that.

And they always seem to confuse that free speech just protects them from their government, not the rest of the world, and will have consequences.
Yeah, it’s always those who shout loudest about free speech that have the least understanding of how it works. 😂
If they understood they wouldn’t shout about it. Or maybe they would, they’re just banking on other people’s ignorance.
“Free speech absolutist” means “you are required to hear everything I have to say and you can’t criticize me for it.”
Yeah, that’s well put.
