Funny how consequences always means bad ones, "people who say something I don't like get the stick!" and then later "I never thought I would get the stick sobs person brutalized with stick!".

Free speech is sancrosanct for a reason.



Where do you get the idea that free speech means "freedom from consequences"? You're allowed to say offensive things, but you're not immune from (eg) getting fired for it


You're free to say what you want- but not from the secret police hauling you off to a gulag for it.


Consequences doesn’t just mean punishment.
