- noer 9y agoFree Speech isn't "Consequence-Free Speech" and is a two way street. Sure, feel free to say/write the most despicable, racist thing imaginable. However, what is often forgotten is that there are consequences for everything that happens. As long as the government isn't restricting you from or putting you in jail or saying/writing it, the speech is free.
