    During FDR's presidency in the lead up to WWII, he made the "Four Freedoms" speech, which the artist Norman Rockwell illustrated in four different paintings. This one, "freedom of speech" is the most well known/reproduced.

      There's no propaganda in America, though.

      It's wild how American's fetishize freedom of speech when the only thing speech is good for is influencing power, and freeze-peach definitely does not do that.

      The nicest practical aspect of free speech is you mostly don't have to self-censor every communication, mostly.
