Im not suggesting that I have the synthesis between protection from terroristic speech and free speech.
I cant come up with anything that would satisfy the liberal notion of free speech.
So I can only say this. It really doesnt matter what social organization or structure you find yourself in. One way or another; anyone can say fighting words. Anyone can say something that invites confrontation from various agents both private and public.
There is no material, functional way to have free speech unless we get to a point where ALL speech is powerless to affect change one way or another.
Free speech is an illusion. There will always be fighting words. There will always be speech that requires one set of folks to act.
So while I sympathize with Medhurst in this instance; I cant bring myself to imagine future societies would tolerate mass lies of agitation and political wrecking.
If you want to see the epitome of free speech, then look at Fox News. That’s a perfect picture of free speech. Ask yourself if it’s worth it. Ask yourself if you want something like Fox News in your future.
