Free speech is a myth! The media and political system start a debate where shock jocks criticise who ever first made a statement.
Average poorly educated to believe what they're told people are often too busy to care past using shock jocks as an entertaining distraction. Most pretend debateable topics have nothing to do with citizens day to day concerns. Shock jock ravings are federal issues, boat people, political embarrassments. Emotionally decided, simply easy to understand prompted to scan memories' people will feel smart, to many people of the often repeated topics up for debate.
Too much pretend free speech blocks any thinking of real free speech topics like; world over population; investment companies crashing every so often. Why banks need foreign investment when banks have savings money going nowhere, instead banks don't lend money, banks lend bank cheques. Bank cheques deposited in other banks becomes another credit needing interest, allowing more capital to be leant.
