> Let's start with the so-called "freedom of speech." What a load of privileged, entitled bullshit. The idea that everyone has the right to say whatever they want, whenever they want, without consequence is the epitome of white fragility and Western privilege. It's like a safety blanket for those who have never had to face real oppression or discrimination. You see, when you defend freedom of speech, what you're really defending is the status quo. You're defending the power structures that keep marginalized voices silenced and oppressed. Because let's be real here, in a world where wealth and power are concentrated in the hands of a few, whose speech do you think gets heard the loudest? Hint: it's not the voices of the poor, the marginalized, or the oppressed. And don't even get me started on the myth of "neutral" platforms. The idea that social media companies should just sit back and let hate speech and bigotry run rampant because of some misguided commitment to "free speech" is beyond absurd. These platforms have a responsibility to actively combat harmful speech, not enable it under the guise of "free expression." – but here's the thing, freedom of speech isn't just overrated, it's actively harmful. It perpetuates a system where hate speech, racism, misogyny, and homophobia are not only tolerated but protected. It emboldens those who seek to oppress others and creates an environment where marginalized communities are forced to constantly defend their right to exist.

Before you closed your account you were using "Free Speak" to make a hateful point
