Comment on Doesn't the need for a permit fundamentally contradict the US's ideals of free speech?
NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 1 month agoYelling “fire” is just an easily visualized situation to start the discussion about how freedom of speech is not a universal freedom.
Maybe. But then you have fundamentally misunderstood the term “freedom of speech”.
I call it an unneccessary discussion. You should better think of it as “freedom of saying your opinion”.
It does not mean yelling fire, it does not mean yelling I kill you, it does not mean false accusations, insults about your mother…

… That’s exactly the point. Starting a discussion with people who’ve fundamentally misunderstood the right. People who think they can say anything and you aren’t allowed to be mad at them. People who think their right applies to private property and platforms.
