    Not a single free speech absolutist defends Palestinian support as free speech

    Who in America is getting thrown in jail for supporting Palestians?

      Are you implying that only speech that results in someone being thrown in jail should be defended or something?

      I don’t get how that question makes a lick o’ sense, especially since free speech absolutists defend harmful, hateful rhetoric that also doesn’t get anyone thrown in jail, just pisses a lot of people off. It’s not like people go to jail for misgendering trans people or participating in an insurrection.

        Then I don’t understand your point. If nobody is punished for their speech then they have free speech.
