I think those who claim to advocate for " free speech "

Really just want to say what they like without any consequences

@BritishFailedAesthetic can express any view you want. Just dont cry if those views are criticised
@Guitarman123 Let me give you an example- we were at the pub on New Year's day- my dad said something offensive about voting and me and everyone got annoyed and started criticising him.

But he still had the right to say it.

@BritishFailedAesthetic you're deliberately missing the point. Those who vocally advocate for " free speech ", simply don't want their views challenged at all. They want to express bigoted type thought's and not have any criticisms for having said views.
@Guitarman123 Free speech is a core value of Western society, how is your citizenship application to Cuba going? 🤭

@BritishFailedAesthetic so is the right to question expressed views.
@Guitarman123 Yes, exactly. Freedom of speech works both ways but you only want it to work one way.

@BritishFailedAesthetic again you're deliberately missing the point

@BritishFailedAesthetic free speech works both ways. If i hear something i disagree with im gonna express it
@Guitarman123 So what is the point of this post then? People can say objectionable views if they want and people are going to respond likewise......

@BritishFailedAesthetic the point like I've already explained is that those who vocally say they are for free speech don't their views challenged and want to express any potentially bigoted views without any consequences.
@Guitarman123 'consequences' being your key word here, what consequences should they face?

@BritishFailedAesthetic if someone expresses anti trans or anti feminist views they should face the consequences of those opinions by having them heavily criticised as such backward attitudes are poisonous.
