      So I used to think free speech discourse was fucking dumb and usually cover for nazi's, and then I read the history of free speech activism and facebook started censoring anarchist pages.

      We need to weaponize the term just like right wingers do, our platform depends on it

        I think we either need a totally different term or a way to reclaim the phrase that explicitly and undeniably shuts out fash.

          We can just deploy it opportunistically. Whine about our free speech when facebook censors us and then celebrate the eradication of hate when facebook does it to fash.

          If you're looking for philosophical justifications, you can argue that the presence of right wingers silences gay people and so isn't free speech but a form of censorship.
