free speech is a myth, by the way. The first amendment only promises that the government can't sensor you, and even then there are legal caveats. You don't have the right to force people to listen to your garbage

@rarity Isn't free speech more about not preventing people to speak and their ability to listen ( or stop listening ) to anyone whenever they please ? As such you are always able to say whatever you want but not force anyone to listen ? ( except for exceptions, like hate-speech, slander, and some others )

@critialcloudkicker people claim that if you tell them "you're not allowed to say that" it's violating "free speech", and it's not. as long as it's not government property, the owners can tell you "stop shouting slurs in my store or you have to leave".

@rarity I am pretty sure that a storeowner anywhere is just as free to remove you from it's property as that you are free to tell how chemtrails are real. But the storeowner can not stop you from talking about it.

@critialcloudkicker well yes, because literally no one can "stop" you from talking unless they gag you. But they can effectively stop you

@rarity That's probably a really overlooked right to begin with. Having a soldier with a gun showing up forcing your silence in the modern western world is unthinkable.

Do you understand WHY freedom of speech is not only in the constitution, but is the very first amendment?
