Freedom of speech is a broader principle, and existed before the US.
The 1st Amendment ensures our speech is protected from the government; it does not give that right. Our rights are considered “natural rights” and thus law only codifies them; rights are not given to us by the government. Small but important detail.
“Freedom of speech” is not a universal right. Everything you have is in the end, given or granted to you by your respective government. Some afford more rights than others.
They’re the ones that govern after all.
You’ve never been able to just say what you want without consequence. If you’re working as tech support and just tell your customers they can fuck off every time they have a problem, chances are, you’re not going to be employed much longer.
“BUT MUH FREEDOM OF SPEECH!?” yeah. You’re free to say it. Congratulations. Now you suffer civil repercussions.

instead of making you angry.fuck the fuck offI can assure you, between the two of us, only one person is angry enough to express it. Have a good day.
