Free speech is bullshit, first because no one is listening. But then, is anyone free to speak to their parents, their teachers, their employers?

- j45 3mo agoFree speech isn't free of consequences. Rights come with responsibilities and understanding where someone's rights may stop and someone else's rights might begin.
- nailer 3mo agoPeople don't have a right to not hear things they don't like. Why is why direct calls to violence are (or should be) the only things prohibited in liberal societies. Edit: nevermind, this is an AI generated ad. See rest of discussion.
- Supermancho 3mo agoSpeaking anything you want may engender consequences. There are consequences for sure, which will often result in personal suffering (change to relationships, work, etc). The one thing you won't suffer is being arrested by your government for saying it...unless you're Comey (86 47) or Lux Claridge (clapping) or Anna King (arrested by national guard) or a host of other abuses of power under this administration and social environment.
- ronsor 3mo agoFree speech has always been about getting the government and organizations with government-level power out of the way. It's not about interpersonal mandates.
