> Freedom of speech isn't freedom of consequences.
How I hate the proliferation of this idiotic phrase.
Freedom of speech is a concept, an ideal. Not whatever the US constitution says. The idea is that powerful forces won’t punish you for speaking your mind.
If saying “I don’t like blue party” gets you fired, debanked and slandered in the media; it’s not really freedom of speech.
You also have “freedom to murder”, but you need to suffer the consequences.

A freedom like that is no freedom at all.
