Ugh, free speech has never been a meaningful idea. It's always "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But I don't consider that to be speech." Or it's "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But not freedom from state consequences!" Or it's "I believe in freedom of speech! ...But not in people's freedom to listen to it." Unless your statements have three asterisks explaining EXACTLY what you mean, I can't claim to know your position. Tell me, may I shoot an innocent man in the chest in order to more effectively communicate to him what dying is like? What forms of communication are restricted?

Philosophy? Do you have any idea how many times I've been banned from a platform that supposedly supported free speech? How many times I've seen other people banned? Do you think the arguments I present are just thought experiments or positions I've made up? I have heard people making most of those points over and over again. "Adorable" implies I have something I could learn, but if you truly know that I am ignorant in something then what is this perspective that I am lacking huh? Do you have anything of substance behind you?

Sounds like you should spend a lot less time on the internet dude. You’re clearly in a very unhappy and irrational place if this is your reaction to a pretty objective post.

I'm confused, what do you mean by "objective"? What did I say about the post?
