If someone chooses to make what are considered adverse comments about certain subjects they are immediately labelled as some kind of "ist" or "phobe." They may even be accused of using "hate speech" which is a relatively new invention.
Effectively we are told what we must think about certain subjects and dissenting voices are pilloried and maybe even prosecuted.
That doesn't feel much like free speech
