Stop pretending that you like free speech. You don't want it.
Imagine any politically homogenous society: commies, nazis, etc. Do you really think that there would be a reason to allow any dissent without external pressure?
Free speech is a good tool to maintain some sort of balance between opposing sides but ultimately it has no place in a perfect society.

Free speech is what keeps the shit that damages societies in check.
Jews controlling media is a whole different issue. Would be nice if you could call them out without being doxxed by CNN.

Considering how many political, scientific, and philosophical writings have been public anonymously throughout history, in order to avoid reprisals from either the authorities, or the general public, I think it's foolish to no see the two as linked. Unless you think we;re better off without Copernicus, or that Copernicus would have been better of dead or in prison.
Public wrath does not come in the form of oppositional dialectic. It comes in the form of violence, financial ruin, and exile. Anonymity ensures that ideas are the main target of attack, not individuals. It's eliminates the ad hominem.

There is no such thing as a perfect society.
Freedom of Speech is the fundamental way to get at the truth and is the most important freedom there is and must be preserved and protected at all costs.

Hitler hated freedom of speech. Burned books, censored the news.

Good thing I don't like Hitler and don't want a society based on his views.
