Most people who loudly say they want free speech really just want to be hateful in public without repercussions.

I support free speech as a necessary tool against oppression.

These bigots hurt my cause not help it. They are the perfect justification for the authoritarians to grab power over speech. They mean that every time I try to support free speech I end up spending the entire time just proving that I'm arguing in good faith.

To the bigots claiming free speech as cover, you may have fooled the authoritarians into thinking we are on the same side. I know you are just the second front in a two front war.
