Cool rant bud but I’m replying to someone who didn’t say anything you said and just made the nebulous argument of no free speech “for those who would destroy it” which is just a convoluted way of saying “free speech but not for the bad ideas”.

You gave a bunch of extremely narrow and well defined examples of things not covered under most understandings of free speech, which I agree with as a non-free speech absolutist.

But I noticed you didn’t include advocating for anti-free speech ideas. Which as someone who believes in free speech I want to defend the right to express even if I think they’re stupid, and why I have such a visceral reaction every time I read an “ok I like free speech but just let me censor that one it’s the bad one I promise it’s ok just give me the power…”
