CIJS - I get tired of people throwing "Free Speech" around as if social repurcussions mean you are having your free speech blocked
"Free Speech" means that (in theory) you don't get censored, silenced or punished by the state for your speech, unless what you say is deemed threatening or incitement to violence. That's what it is. Regular people disagreeing with you, criticising you or even mocking you for saying some dumb shit is not censorship, or blocking free speech.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
