Freedom of speech works out when everyone’s speech is equal. But in the real world, it isn’t. if it were, the minority wouldn’t have to fight for their rights and the laws would apply the same to the majority.
“free speech” is clickbait for the racists, created by racists to drown out the opposing voices of minority while calling it equality.
Your “freedom of speech” was added in the constitution on December 15, 1791. It took almost 200 years for the cilvil rights movement in 1950s for the black people to have equal rights.
Don’t flaunt it like it has any shred of importance beyond what the majority of the US population uses it for. And it’s to be racist bigots.
Didn’t freedom of speech protect the civil rights movement more than if it weren’t in the constitution? Just because bad people make use of this right, doesn’t make it inherently bad. It’s not concern trolling because we think you’re overcorrecting, and any attempt to censor 4chan will lead to either “angering the wasps” or censorship of benign ideas.
Just know that I am arguing in good faith because I know that the people who decide what to censor will overcorrect, and I think that causes more harm than good.
Only thing I feel like responding to:.
This might be hard for you to understand but people can have differing opinions than you and not be trolling. It’s not healthy to have that belief.

Keep concern trolling though

This 100% well said.
