well, I don't find free speech as a bad thing. It is the best tool use to increase popularity of the beliefs. If you use the correct rhetoric and the best tactics. Honestly the argument you use can be use for other societies.
In slave societies, a slave can be given food and water( just enough to live. sometimes pampered). However, they will suffer under the rule of their master. " How dare the slave rise up in opposition to their masters. We give them free food and water,and now they don't want this freedom", that is what lot's of slave master in the south use to say . opposition to the perceived right of a society suddenly makes your views illegitimate., that is what you are saying.
No, see here's the difference: Food and water are not antithetical to the beliefs held by enslaved people. On the contrary, those enslaved people wanted to have the freedom to choose their own food and water. However, free speech is antithetical to the belief of many authoritarians.
I honestly question if "Free" speech is even free. I am open to ideals, i don't seek to destroy the discussion of opinions, or the deny the possibility of having a different opinion. to understand free speech, we would have to look at the definitions of "freedom".
In my opinion, people are not really free. we put ideals above our self, we put our self under dogma, and people sometimes don't question their beliefs. when a dictatorship is accepted by the majority of a population, if they agree with everything done by the regime, is there not freedom ?
