free or not free is only an illusion. its a personal thing in the end which no one can give or take. hence, you will find disagreement on what behavior fits what banner of freedom or nonfreedom etc.

people will try to silence voices that disagree with them. cant they? no. will they try? yes.

dont worry about it and simply say what u have to say, trusting the universe it will arrive where it needs to, when it needs to.
