Alt-right racists like free speech, because they can say racist things without fear of serious repercussions.
Black people like free speech, because they can tell alt-right racists what they think of them without fear of serious repercussions.
Christians like free speech, because they can express their religious views without fear of serious repercussions.
Atheists like free speech, because they can debunk or openly mock religious views without fear of serious repercussions.
PC leftists like free speech, because they can talk about the cisgender white patriarchal oligarchy without fear of serious repercussions.
Cisgender white patriarchal oligarchs like free speech, because they can explain why they should continue with the status quo without fear of serious repercussions.
Now, when any of these groups are so convinced of the ideas THEY wish to express that they are willing to (or sometimes eager to) deny any of the other groups the right to speak their ideas, then there's a problem.
That you constantly focus on the alt-right whenever you hear the words "free speech" is like constantly focusing on shit whenever you hear the word "nature."
