Shouting “I’m going to kill the president of the United States” in front of the White House will not lead to you being arrested, provided you have zero intention to pull through with it? It is nothing but speech after all.
Correct. Freedom of Speech does not imply freedom from consequence and only protects you from the government. The State can’t tell you what you’re allowed say and can’t jail you for saying them (outside of a limited band of things that have been thoroughly litigated). However, that does nothing to modify the social contract. If you say something that most people don’t like, they’re going to get you to stop saying it one way or another.
Americans don’t even have free speech. They can only freely speak what is tolerated by the majority lol
I mean, you’re not going to get arrested for saying stupid shit but I will think you’re an asshole
