why do people confuse free speech with "the ability to say what you think anywhere you go"?

free speech is protection from your government, limited to words that do not incite harm

free speech does not protect you from the consequences of what you say between you and another private party

if someone dislikes what you have to say and thinks you're an ass for saying it the way you did, you have no right to complain about being blocked

this isn't even a new thought! my thoughts here are entirely unoriginal. i don't get why these folks think that it's ok to run around shoving their opinions down peoples' throats, or that sending people hurtful messages is something that deserves to be protected

all it boils down to "i have a right to be an asshole without consequences" and i'm so fuckin' tired of it
