Freedom of speech is not just the right to speak into a void; it includes the practical ability to reach people. Dominant communities are the modern public squares. If you’re banned from these, your ability to participate in discourse shrinks dramatically because that’s where the audience is.
When a handful of people enforce rules unevenly or with bias, they shape what ideas can spread.
Leaving a house party with my mate once early morning. Walking up a hill outside and he’s on the phone to my cousin. He paused, sniffed, and went ‘are you eating bacon?!’
My cousin was in fact eating bacon.
Idk what would even prompt him to ask such a question it’s like he was connected to that bacon on a quantum level.
