    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.
