        Only people I see trying to make this point are ones trying to hand wave shitty behaviour.

          You’d be more accurate if you just called them a conspiracy theory wacko

            I get what you are saying, and I agree that it is accurate.

            Doesn’t quite have the same pop though.

        No, it is an accusation. Hate speech would be calling him names based of ethnicity or some other quality they cannot change.

        Way to show your lack of understanding.

      That doesn’t make sense. If someone at a Nazi rally shouted “actually Jews are alright” and got arrested for it, would you say that’s compatible with free speech? Because while they might have experienced consequences, “free speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences”, so since they were able to say what they intended to they had free speech?

        Nowhere in any writings about free speech does it mention that you are free from consequences.

        Edit: american free spech has limits, it really only protects you when criticizing the government. As with most governments that enshrined free speech.

        Also thats a hell of a whataboutism.

          “Free speech only when talking about the government” is very different from “free speech”.

            Yeah, and people point to that when they talk about free speech and miss the point where they never said you are completely free of consequences.

            Try again. Seriously, you sound like a high school student who clued in half way through the class.
