Your position on free speech can be whatever you want it to be, but terrorism isn't speech, free or otherwise. This has been a common misperception of right wing extremists around the globe. They believe that, somehow, they possess rights they do not possess, and they possess them through means and arguments which never address or approach them. A fantasy of rights, supplied to a fantasy of whiteness, supporting a fantasy of abrogation by free speech, as is explicitly the case in your comments. Or by unequal representation under law, which is implicit to the constant both siderism.
I never claimed that terrorism is free speech. Terrorism should be punished under the law.
My parents go to a church where the pastor is a Jewish follower of Christ. I go with them sometimes. Some anti-semite could show up and shoot up the place, but I will advocate for anti-semites to be able to express their views out loud or online. We don't have free speech here, but I'd be willing to take that risk if we could have free speech. That's not me being ok with people profiting off of terrorism or anything like that. I am ok with people funding anti-semites, but I'm not ok with people funding terrorists and terrorists should be locked away.
