This is not what Free Speech even means, and I'm sick and tired of everyone acquiescing to the Left's narrative that "Free Speech" means "Saying literally anything without any possible consequence, including defamation, conspiracy, harassment, fraud, incitement, disorderly conduct, and assault".

If you are operating solely on a Melian Dialogue, you will become a psychopath that needs to be put down by your own side in order for anything to actually end, let alone 'win'.
Yes, in this case speech is merely the means or vehicle by which to commit several torts and/or crimes. It's not opinion, argument
or creative expression. Its only purpose here is to facilitate direct harm.
Would I love to have absolute freedom of speech? Yes.

I don't care.
Principles mean nothing unless you WIN.
When you lose with dignity, you LOSE.
Guess who taught us that?
YOU.
So fuck off.

Reddit permabanned people for making fun of Imgur employees.
"Imgur: Even the dog is fat."
It's weird how leaking government data is a literal crime, while doxing is perfectly legal (but a bannable offense on most tech platforms).
