Nah free speech means the government won't stop you. It doesn't mean we gotta listen to you or give you a platform for the hate whether it's irl or online. Gotta read that first ammendment a bit more throughly my dude

Lol cracks me up that there are people out there thinking free speech means people have to pay them advertising money no matter what you say.
