Humanity Must Allow Freedom of Speech
Freedom of speech – a phrase we have all heard a million times. Still, we only hear it but rarely see it. Well, we do see it on paper; that part is true. However, in reality, it’s just gone. The question is where and why we must find it again!

Now, there are pros and cons to Freedom of speech, of course. Let’s start with the PROS.
First and foremost, it’s your basic human right. Imagine someone taking away your freedom to think. Sounds insane, right? Well, this is almost the same thing. As long as you’re not verbally abusing someone but merely expressing your opinion, why is that wrong? Because it doesn’t suit someone’s secret agenda? Yeah, exactly. We need to be able to express ourselves freely, or else we might as well just let the Chinese take over the world and get it over with. That is why it must be allowed at all costs. Secondly, it limits and therefore ruins creativity. Because you see, Freedom of speech doesn’t only include verbal communication but also written words and art, paintings and photography. That second part leads us to the last and the worse one – censorship. If you’re not allowing me to express myself freely and the way I feel like it, you’re basically censoring me. And again, hello, China, welcome. Naturally, western politicians, as well as others, talk against censorship and criticize China all the time. In contrast, they’re doing the same thing with their political correctness and woke culture. What a bunch of hypocrites! What’s worse, if you censor someone long enough, they slowly but surely begin to censor themselves. And that, my friends, is the worst of the worst – self-censorship! It’s so much worse than someone forcing you to censor yourself because when you do it willingly, that means you’ve been brainwashed, basically. Your mind and brain have turned to mush potatoes. And you are a zombie. Congratulations!

And now the CONS, if we can even find any. Being able to say whatever you want would surely lead to hate speech and bullying. This might be a bit edgy, but then again, if someone is abusing free speech just to be mean to you – so what? You get to be mean to them as well. Fight back. It’s what humans have done since the dawn of men. But, if you’re simply too kind or too good of a person, then just ignore it and move on. Because you will never ever be able to escape mean people and live in some beautiful bubble with flowers and butterflies. Get used to it and learn to stand your ground! Still, there are always those with disabilities or some sort of “disadvantage” that simply aren’t able to fight back. And that’s the only problem with free speech, I think – abusing those who can’t fight back. So, to solve this problem, maybe we can also learn to be more humane. Yes, have absolute freedom of speech, but limit yourself when you clearly see that saying something to someone is just not OK. We are human, after all, aren’t we? It shouldn’t be that hard. All in all, we either allow freedom back in, or we become mindless zombies. Choose wisely.
Now please share your thoughts on this. Are you pro, con, or somewhere in between? And remember, we are talking in favour of Freedom of speech here, so don’t be afraid to say anything you want. Go wild! And if you liked this article, you’ll definitely like our dystopian Orwellian future article as well.
