It is amazing how many social justice warriors despise liberty and freedom of speech. Evidently they are ignorant of history and the cause of great tyranny throughout mankind which is all the little tyrants that make a habit of despising liberty and freedom of speech.
"If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter." George Washington
“Censorship is to art, as lynching is to justice.” – Henry Louis Gates.
"It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them." Mark Twain.
Freedom of Speech includes the Freedom of Religion which includes a freedom of self government which was the "conversation" of the early Christian people who were a free community.

Free Speech
The word censored comes from the Latin term censere, "to assess". In Rome the "Censor" was a magistrate whose duties included monitoring public morality and conduct. They also included maintaining the census and He was the overseer of certain finances of the government.
His power became absolute and there were no other magistrate who could oppose or over rule his decisions.
It is from that office we get the modern meaning of the words censor and censorship and Rome got ruled by tyrants.
Free speech is an essential element in the individual quest for truth and requires a free conversation among individuals within society in order to overcome bias, prejudice, and delusion.
Any hesitation, resistance, or opposition on the allowance of the free exchange of ideas through language and other forms of communication is evidence of Ideological discrimination.[1]
What is Free speech?
Is free speech important to the health of a free society?
Hate speech
The most hateful speech throughout history has been no speech at all because if "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men do nothing "<Re>The quote, “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”[2] then it is certainly equally true that "The only thing necessary for evil to triumph in the world is that good men say nothing."
If they do say it but are censored then censorship becomes an act of hatred and the censor a doer if evil.
Censored speech
Not only the censoring of public speech should be barred by the bands of society but the social bonds of society should also include an abhorrence to censorship in every conversation of man.
No speech between the people should be censored unless itself is a crime to plot or perpetrate an injury or harm others without due cause.
Nor is a bearing of false witness to do damage to people or persons acceptable.
Nor to seduce the youth or the cognitively infirm with malicious intent or a desire for unwarranted gain.
- ↑ Ideological discrimination may be on the grounds of political, religious or other ideology, and may include not only discrimination but bigotry and hate which leads to segregation, cancelation, banning, and if allowed to go un challenged will eventually usher in genocide and extermination of both small and large segments of society.
- ↑ Often attributed to Edmund Burke erroneously. The philosopher John Stuart Mill, in an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St. Andrews did state: “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”
