In your world, I am not free. A store near my house sells Confederate flags. Can I stop shopping there? No, because that sends a clear message.

A racist is on a street corner calling for ethnic cleansing, and waving pictures of black people being lynched (found via Reddit, by the way). Can I turn tail and walk away, denying them my attention? Once again, that sends a clear message.

A racist pops up out of nowhere on Twitter and tries to apply some foolish argument. Can I block them, and thus never read what they have to say? Again, ignoring them sends a clear message.

If I can't choose where I spend my money, who I associate with, and who I listen to, what kind of freedom is this?
