Freedom of speech is you defending someone else’s right to say things you don’t agree with. Regardless of what they say.

It’s really that simple. You can be angry with them, you can be disgusted by them. That’s your right, and if you’re a properly function adult you’ll either air a counter opinion, or walk away from them.

You can say you find it offensive, but that is subjective and therefore has little value.

But you cannot silence or sensor them, otherwise you do not support freedom of speech.

It doesn’t matter if you’re left or right, godly or godless - them’s the rules. And there’s no agenda so divine to be above this.

Now, who’s for a drink?

But the internet made everything different! Facebook and Google and the tube take out the odd views, and some on the left side of normal, some from the right, and cull your politics for you. People have a responsibility to govern the technology.
Them's the rules
Yes, but if some forms of "free speech" are illegal, such as hate speech, then you can indeed silence or censor them.

@wishforthenight That’s a lot you wrote there. I might show you the evils of censorship by deleting it without reading it.

Thusly.

I remember when the Republican Party used to be about limiting the federal government’s power.

Now they clap like seals when the federal government censors people critical of their president.

We had to deal with Fox News for decades. Clinton, Obama and Biden never pulled their plug - despite many law suits.

The party formerly known as the GOP is officially the party of Petty Grievances and Insurrectionists.
Correct..
nobody making me stand there and listen to anybody on a soapbox..
