Freedom of speech is about political speech.

I can't ever hope to match your skill level in this type of debate (I am sincere about that), but intuitively I know you are wrong.

Unfettered freedom of speech, even only with respect to political speech, is an impossible standard.

The reality is, there is a scale.

I think that it the core of it but not the whole of it.

If your non-political speech is censored you do lose at least some of your freedom of speech.
