free speech ≠ hate speech

Be warned. The erroneous belief that "free speech" is a right wing concept is exactly the lie right wing lunatics want you to believe. it suits them very nicely.

right wing loonies have a long history of hijacking and destroying empathetic terms like this.

if they believed in freedom or free speech, why is it always them who are burning and banning books? why are they always the ones trying to control other people's bodies? when they talk about freedom, they mean their freedom to take yours away.

should we let them kill yet another canary of a healthy society? that's a different discussion. but it would be a substantial error to assume anyone who won't let them hijack it are actually right wing.
