I'm not sure I'm giving a proper critique in the first place.

What I'd like is another article from you, about the absolutist perspective of free speech, and another separate article from the perspective of "if you insult me, or even a bear, you'll get hurt" type censorship. 

Make it fair and objective, of course.

 I don't like taking sides these days.

 You know how it is. When the biggest, baddest government is totally corrupt, to the point that most of the world is either colonialized to have the same laws or religion, or too foreign for me to comprehend, I just assume that the two most popular sides are fabricated by the same source, and that even the third option is somehow tainted.

Freedom has problems, but I'd rather accept them, rather than try to cut off the parts of freedom that I disagree with.

I'd rather just make up my own opinion, and assume it's as contrived and opinionated as anything else. At least then I know it's mine.
