I'm not sure what side you're on, but the US wouldn't be what it is but for founders who manipulated public opinion by publishing under a pseudonym about their vision of an ideal government. While owning slaves.

Actually, we realized it shouldn't 244 years ago but forgot in the past year.

You are suggesting that a person should be able to say anything, and nobody who hears it can react in any way? That would certainly be a minority opinion.

Or perhaps you are defining "speech" and "consequences" differently?
