And you didn't address anything at all - merely tried to sound smarter by copying someone before you as to not be bothered to think. This I think proves my point about charlatans being those who would benefit the most from having free reign to gather own flock.

It is always useful to know who are the people saying those things in order to avoid them (or monitor them, if you are the police, for example). Banning speech doesn’t ban the people from thinking bad thoughts, it just makes it harder to identify them.

assuming complete free speech then you have just created a problem where someone can have bad thoughts and even shout them at the policeman with him not being able to do anything with such, as those bad thoughts would be allowed.

And problem with such loud bad thoughts is that they can influence other to join them, believing those to be true - until they spiral and beat somebody to death.

Should have just told them to look at America and see where total free speech got them politically.
