>> Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences.
I love this line. Its like a riff on the old radio Yerevan joke.
> Q: What is the difference between the Constitutions of the USA and USSR? Both guarantee freedom of speech.

- llm_trw 2y agoI got called a Russian bot on the world news subreddit for using that joke, then banned for disinformation, then got muted for 30 days after I asked what I'd said that was disinformation. Or to use another Radio Yerevan joke: Q: Is it true that Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov from Moscow won a car in a lottery? A: In principle yes, but: it wasn't Ivan Ivanovich Ivanov but Aleksander Aleksandrovich Aleksandrov; he is not from Moscow but from Odessa; it was not a car but a bicycle; he didn't win it, but it was stolen from him.
