@realcaseyrollins How do you have free speech and no-nazis at the same time without having some limitation on speech? Presuming you mean "no rules of any kind" by free speech

@freemo Well my point is whenever I search for free speech Google assumes I'm looking for a Nazi instance

@realcaseyrollins Yea its sad

But the issue lies in how people choose to define free speech

@freemo Of course.

I'm just frustrated that the media brands free speech as being only for the alt-right and racists

@realcaseyrollins I agree but how much of that is an issue in semantics. Part of the issue is we havent well made any semantic distinguish between free speech and "no rules" so we get things that tend to be lawless like gab. We need to better define what we feel free speech really means in a practical sense I think.
