It’s way too close to some narratives that are pushed in nominally-liberal but actually quite regressive parts of western societies (how can you pretend to be progressive when you’re arguing that truth is secondary if it makes some people feel bad?)
It’s like Nazi edgelords. If your sarcasm is indistinguishable from propaganda, then either you’re very bad at it, or you’re using “free speech” as a cover because you know your opinions are not acceptable. In either case, these posts do not belong in a civilised discussion.
not agreeing with the parent, but if that is not the main use case of free speech then what is? Stating things others might consider inconvenient, disrespectful or outright unacceptable. Indeed, if one is serious about freedom of speech they will find themselves defending the rights of all kinds of extremists, it is inevitable.
If the OP doesn't respond my bet is yes.
