    If you ask libs what "free speech" means, they will almost always say it's unfettered right to criticize the government, that's what separates us from those evil gommunist countries. What they don't get is we only have the "free speech" we do because it's not really a threat to capital at the moment. And to extent that it is a threat, MSM and tech companies do a fine job of squashing what power wants squashed. If speech becomes too dangerous and if the private sector can't contain say emerging class consciousness, then the government will step and abandon free speech to the degree that libs only dream goes on in places like China.
