    Everybody should be able to say anything they want, and everybody else should be able to make fun of them.

      Or choose not to hire them, or ostracize them.

      Hate speech is free speech. So is recording that hate speech and making sure that everyone the bigot knows is aware of their bigotry is free speech too.

        This just allows capitalists to decide what is acceptable speech.

          Or choose not to do business with them, or choose not to help them on the side of the road, or choose not to invite them to your parties, or choose not to let them on your property, or choose to sign them up for all the useless email and mail spam you can find…

          Don’t tunnel on one thing. A freedom for everyone means a freedom for the capitalists, and the communists too.
