I agree, but many people recognize a freedom of speech that is broader than just the prohibition on its infringement by government, and many here are arguing from that school of thought. I believe that if you recognize that broader definition of free speech, that it must also include free association, otherwise you force people to associate with speech they abhor and the whole thing falls apart.
- yadaeno 5y agoI see what you’re saying, it’s just that one party is using their free speech to speak out against free speech. So while technically no rights are violated it is not a win for free speech.
- sanderjd 5y agoNobody is speaking out against free speech in this situation. Saying "I do not want to be associated with that person" is not speaking out against free speech.
