Freedom is speech isn't the freedom to make people listen.

Great. You have the freedom to speak, as long as it’s only in your head or into a corner where no one can ever hear you.

Freedom of speech doesn’t mean the freedom to make people listen, but the government can’t make that choice for people.

"make people listen"

Like, coercion? As in, physically restrain someone so they must engage with my ideas?

[Teever]

No, we're talking about a situation in Ottawa where people are blaring their truck horns for hours at a time with a complete lack of regard for how the citizens of that city feel about it.

Oh, I thought we were talking about freedom of speech.
