bullshit. Free Speech is incredibly important… but not all speech should be legal, and not all legal speech should be tolerated.
e.g. can’t yell bomb on a plane, fire in a theater, incite a riot
and {{fascists}} shouldn’t be tolerated.
i.e. there’s a huge difference between freedom of speech and a chaotic, overly literal interpretation of that concept.
free speech is about criticism of the government, not about making plans to murder some class of people.
“free speech” is a thought-terminating cliche for people too lazy to come up with a real argument or plan to stop fascist rhetoric.
Its also a convient fig leaf for fascist movements so they can be defended while incubating in liberal societies
So is accusations of “troll”. Around here we prefer that
