> A lot of the time in America we tend to believe we have an absolute right to freedom of speech, but the reality is that our rights to speech are already tied to our race, sexuality, etc. That would be illegal. > Or you'll be arrested if you laugh at someone powerful, like what happened with the Jeff Sessions incident That didn't happen. > The great irony of our rabid belief in freedom of speech is that it simply doesn't exist in America. As you can see from the very public arrest of Louise Mensch. Which totally happened in a different universe.
