Yep… people usually interpret “free speech” as “freedom from the consequences of my speech,” but it’s never meant that.
It’s not even that complicated. To these people, “free speech” only means that they believe they should be allowed to scream literal slurs when they want to make someone feel afraid or worthless. That’s literally the only thing they really want to use “free speech” for.
Every time I see a meme about how introverts are sad about being alone and need help to not be alone anymore, I know the meme was either made by an extrovert or a person mistaking their mental health issues for being an introvert.
