Holding your tongue, or taking a second to think about if your words might be offensive isnt necessarily a bad thing

If you live in a dictatorship or theocratic state.

we have freedom of speech, not freedom from repercussions caused by our speech.

That sounds great but in practice, it empowers the fragile and stupid while terrorizing the intelligent, the creative and the strong.
