I agree with everything you just said and thus will refine my opinion. The enemy of free speech(in the US) isn’t censorship, it is the forces that are driving people apart. I would say that modern day propaganda has done more to hurt free speech in the US than censorship by far. What use is free speech if the people don’t want to talk to each other. I wholeheartedly agree that free speech is needed, but in its present state it feels useless. Words only have meaning if ears are listening and between the “snowflakes” and the “trumpies” I don’t think many people are. As someone that is younger, It’s hard to see the value in free speech. I appreciate you showing me some of the value tho🙏
