Free speech means freedom to speak. Just because you enjoy suppressing speech as a private individual doesn’t mean you are pro-free speech. It means you are anti-free speech and delusional.

Lmao read the constitution buddy. You can stop after the first amendment, you don’t really need to get that far.

And if you’re free to speak, I’m free to shut you up…it’s my freedom of “speak”

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Read that again, slowly, and focus on the first few words. "Congress shall" not billy bob in his backyard.
