[lbo-talk] "Freedom" of fascist speech is an absurdity

If this thread has proven anything, it's that "free speech," as a concept, is deeply subjective and therefore never fully appreciated or universally understood, much less agreed upon. In any event, "free speech" has never been terribly popular, esp when it goes against or insults the sacred opinions of another person. In this insane tribalistic world, I think you can argue that "freedom" in general is a human defect, which doesn't mean that it's a bad thing, just that it's a radical alternative to hive living, and thus extremely frightening for many to fully consider.
