Would you agree that free speech as a right is free, if your speech falls within the accepted limits if the majority?

The second anybody deviates from praising: multiculturalism, socialism, liberalism, or any of the other apparently sacred topics, you lose your right to free speech. We need a lot more of :"I disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Do people praise socialism, as a general rule? I was not aware this was a thing. Most Americans praise capitalism, as far as I'm aware. And most people don't even know what socialism means.

But yeah. Agreed. For now.

I remember reading a study conducted by Fawcett Society in 2016. They are the UK's leading charity campaigning for gender equality and women's rights.

According to the study, more women identify as 'anti-feminist' than 'feminist' (only 7%). But as soon as anyone speaks out against 'feminism' in public, it is branded 'hate speech' and they are called 'misogynists' even though they're clearly only saying what most people are thinking.
