You've got it right.

And the Right has it right.

Free speech requires tolerating speech you don't like. But it's worth it. Otherwise you get what the Left is doing, which is censorship and that's about as anti-American as it can get.

This isn’t about Tate, this is about Elon “I hope all my worst critics remain on Twitter because that’s what free speech means” Musk.

You have no idea what free speech is and it shows. Proving my meme correct, as usual.

Okay, what does it mean then?

Free speech means you can say anything you want without the government interfering. If the speech threatens someone with violence, then that's where it ends. Calling someone the n-word isn't a violent act, it's just calling someone a name.

So calling someone the N word is okay but calling them cisgender is against community guidelines?
2 ups, 3mo
I didn't say calling anyone names is "okay." I said it should be protected under free speech. Free speech isnt truly free if the government can just make up their own definition of what they believe free speech is. The founding fathers wrote the constitution and the first amendment dfor a reason.

No one should be thrown in prison for speech.

Party that bans books says what?

Who's banning books? You can read any book you feel like as an adult. Maybe do your research before commenting nonsense.

Take a look at the Florida School Board, which is controlled by people with a conservative agenda

Like I said, perhaps you should do some research. Banning pornogrphy from children isn't a bad thing. If you choose to read these books as an adult, you're more than welcome to.

Maybe you should do your research. They are banning more than just pornography in libraries. They are needlessly restricting access to well-written books just because a single parent complained. There was even an effort to ban the Bible through this method for goodness sake!
