Someone who claims to defend the Freedom of Speech to hell and back, while not understanding how it actually works.
They claim that social media companies taking down TOS violating content is a violation of the right to free speech, but in reality social media companies are private companies, which aren't bound by the First Amendment. This means that they can set up their own boundaries of what is and isn't okay to say on their site.
Despite them complaining how they are being censored online, most of the time they don't actually care about Free Speech, and just want to spread extremist views online without punishment.
There are social media sites that cater to these people (like Twitter), but they usually become Nazi echo chambers filled with toxicity.

What Free Speech Absolutists don't get about social media is that they are private companies and can set boundaries on what is and isn't okay without it being a violation of The First Amendment.

Get the Free Speech Absolutistmug. Dr. I’m running out of names “Do you believe that the truth will set you free?”
Iam “I don’t like the question. And I don’t like it because it’s a loaded question. There’s this implicit assumption that I’m subjugated and then we get into this semantic realm where we’re trying to figure out what we’re being freed from and it’s just not all that interesting. ‘Well, through truth we’re freed from our ignorance’ and that’s just a banal answer that doesn’t really answer the question in spite of the fact that it answers the question. Beyond that you could say that ‘Well, we are all subjugated by those who lie with impunity and only the truth can free us from the illusory world they’ve created’ and that’s not very entertaining either. Better question (or more interesting as least) would be ‘What happens if you tell the truth about me?’ Do you lie to keep the devil in his cage? Even though God told you not to? Do you eat the forbidden fruit? He did tell you not to do it but he knows damn well your going to do it. You tell the truth I’m out of the cage. ‘What does he do when he’s out of the cage? What will he say? People should ignore and mock him but what happens if they don’t? I didn’t. I listen and did what he said. What does that say about me?’ Now that’s far more interesting. I had another one but I can’t quite remember...”

Get the free.99mug. First sexual intercourse after ending it with your significant other. Done primarily to reaffirm that you are still in the game and a one-time pass to engage in guilt-free, no-strings-attached indulgence of your primal desires with someone who would otherwise be socially off-limits.
"My old gal-pal Bobbie came over and banged my brains out last night. Don't think she's looking for a relationship though. She just broke up with her boyfriend. so it was probably her Free Agent Fuck."
