Free speech means I'm allowed to say whatever I want, and everyone else is also allowed to say whatever I want, right?

Freedom of (my, and only my) speech.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

Only if you’re a billionaire.

"Free speech absolutism" is code for "let's hear this Nazi out".

I love when a legal document is basically a hard slapdown. "No, and also fuck you for asking!"

Free speech is the right to yell "theatre!" in a crowded fire.

In all seriousness, I support free speech. That being said, if you're trying to start a fight, don't get surprised if you get punched.

Musk was lucky enough to simply be made fun of and criticized rather than punched, but, like a petulant little child, he threw a tantrum and said the other kids are mean to him.
