You are confusing issues. Freedom of expression means that people have a right
to say what they think. It also means that people who disagree with them, have
a right to respond. You are complaining because you do not agree with some
opinions of some Americans and because you do not agree with responses of other
Americans to things that you believe. If you are in favor of free speech, it
is only fair to criticize those people who do not permit others to express
themselves openly.

Subject: [blind-democracy] Freedom of expression
Freedom of speech is the right to express your independent opinions and
convictions in public without being restrained, threatened or censored.
Ordinarily, the United States is prejudiciously portrayed as the paragon of
free expression worldwide. I distinctly destine to pick Americanism apart. Each
and everyone in many regions across the globe is entitled to opine his opinion
freely. The United States did not invent the right of free expression. It is
not exclusive to American Constitution or its amendments. Freedom of expression
is openly practiced therein as long as Islam is incessantly denigrated.
Nevertheless, if someone oppugned the holocaust or its chronicle's
authenticity, for instance, he is instantly subjected to counterfeit
allegations of antisemitism. This is my endeavour concern of American double
standard. When a Muslim Commits mass murder, he is unhesitatingly labelled with
perpetrating terror. However, if a white supremacist committed mass murder with
even higher rate of fatalities, he is classified as a demented and atypical
individual. I have no idea, how to illustrate this plain contradiction? How
could you be fairish and oppressive simultaneously? I respect decent Americans.
Be that as it may, as to Americanism, how could you consistently be guilty,
jury and judge concurrently? Freedom of expression is the major factor by which
the United States is allegedly portrayed with unprecedented prodigy. However,
freedom of expression therein seems to somewhat be infructuous. So for
instance, as to America's longstanding crisis of culpably perennial fatal mass
shootings, the National Rifle Association blocks any congressional bill which
aims to relatively rectify the pitiful situation. For them, the subject is just
unforfeitable. Thence, freedom of expression resembles emptied rhetoric at some
point. If your freedom of expression doesn't allow you to enact freely, your
words may equate some bunch of barking dogs.
Who cares if the dog barks at him? In other words, if the National Rifle
Association listens incautiously to periodical congressional criticism of
irrepressible munition across the nation, what is the significance of their
critique then? What is the point of congressional authorities being critical
of unrestricted gun mongers?
I urge you folks to ponder on my proposition. Yes, here in Egypt, freedom of
expression is perfectly missing. If someone spoke against Sisi's regime or his
coup based governance, he is emphatically subjected to scathingly be detained,
imprisoned and ruthlessly excruciated. We recognise that and we fairly admit
freedom of expression total absence. This is quite unfortunate but factual. We
couldn't deny it or wrongly fend for the military based dictator.
However, we strenuously strive in the cause of favourably retaining its
prosperity. Liberal media may have spoke against Donald Trump and his policies
of implementing racial disparity in addition to farther major catastrophes
hitherto, they are not able to alter the way he deliberately perpetrates
cruelty. So for instance, as for the issue of remanded children because their
parents immigrated illicitly, why haven't they been just expatriated along with
their families? The media brought the subject briefly and then, closed the file
while the prob hasn't yet been resolved. Principally, the conception of
unequivocally free speech in the United States is an enormous fib. Do you know
what is really free in the States? It is greed and corporal establishment. This
vividly reflects the dominance of patrician landholders of the American South
as of pastoral panel and other chiselers. Who could have spoke out against
Israel's brutality which is relentlessly imposed on decently innocent civilians
as of women and children in the congressional arena? There is no one member in
the Congress who could have spoke in the favour of Palestinian refugee crisis
unless he aims to infinitely lose his seat. Is this what you ironically call
freedom? I believe it is crucial to sincerely reconsider the American
portraiture of free expression and measure that according to actual
information. Is American vision of free expression sufficiently genuine? I
won't answer this question for now.
I'll rather leave it at your hand, so you could have a chance to think about it
and come up with the proper answer. I destine to considerably expand the
discussion of this subject because it is of mutual interest. I at least think
so. Thank you for reading, Mustafa Almahdy.
Best wishes, it is always hope that gives meaning to life.
