The most readily mantra people use is "it's my opinion" or "freedom of speech" like whatever delusional thing they have to say is protected and people will have to just deal with it. Where do people learn this logic and entitlement from?

For the most part you do just have to deal with it.

If you have any type of power over the person such as inheritance or employment, you can certainly and lawfully cut those ties. However, the average person speaking to the average person there is little that one can lawfully do to silence the other.

If you make a crappy comment on Facebook and tons of people give you negative responses and reactions then you should dig a lot deeper than the "it's just my opinion" defense.

It is extremely possible to have a very ill informed opinion that can be very harmful to spread around.

Some opinions deserve to be openly mocked or shamed.

I can tell them how stupid their opinion is and they'll have to deal with it.

Problem is people don't. They think whatever they have to say should be something everyone should accepted because it's their opinion and they can't be wrong.

Even more problematic is they rarely understand that the "just my opinion" defense has to work both ways otherwise you come off really self absorbed and entitled.

We can already see how just having "opinions" plays out in the average CEmans day to day life. No girlfriends, all virgins, no friends, and all because their "opinions" are just toxic and horrible. They seem to understand how their opinions are digging them into a hole that they can't escape from yet can't quite seem to figure out how their "opinions" and other shit they say on public forums can cost them employment or job opportunities. It's a weird bit of cognitive dissonance.

Exactly. So people understand they can say whatever they want but what they don't understand is everyone else also has the right to tell them their opinion is stupid as fuck.

Two way street. They're free to think and express that you're every bit as stupid as you claim they are.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean free from consequences. I'm just so damn curious how and where people get to this conclusion.

The difference is I'm completely fine with what they think about me if I put myself out there. I don't go hyper defensive with my claims. You're free to think I'm wrong or disagree with me. Most people think you can't tell them they're wrong because it's their opinion.

What consequence? Unless it's at a place of work, say what you want. No one owns you.

I would blame the age of social media, you can spew what ever garbage you want on twitter or fakebook with no repercussions and block people wh disagree with you.

There aren't consequences besides people possibly disagreeing with you or disliking you. You'll only face consequences if you try to act on your opinions

The consequences of me disagreeing with your opinion or people losing respect for you for saying something dumb. These type of consequences.

But people think you should respect everything they say or that you shouldn't be able to dislike them for what they say.

No, they think "let's agree to disagree".
