Free speech is whatever the person with the most money says it is.

@Jake_Vig indeed, those with the most money get the most speech and often get to say what free speech is, and then enforce it with the courts, police, and politicians.

What free speech should be is the ability to speak your mind without being threatened with violence or assaulted, so long as you're not threatening violence. That's also the only free will we can reasonably expect from life, namely the ability to exercise our will and choices peacefully and without violent interference from others.

That said, there is nothing authoritarian or anti-free speech for a group or community to have moderation rules. Anarchism means "without rulers," not "without rules."

@Jake_Vig that's the AMERICAN WAY
@Jake_Vig Do not pass Go. Join the Supreme Court .
@Jake_Vig Sad but apparently true.

@Jake_Vig Or it's Anton Chikghur asking you to flip a coin.

"Call it."

just mixing my absurd with political.

The Golden Rule

He who has the gold makes the rules

@Jake_Vig “Freedom of the press is limited to those who own one.” — H. L. Mencken
@Jake_Vig
It’s that Golden Rule thing. The one with the most gold makes the rules.
@Jake_Vig
We need to change that perception in 2023.
