Freedom of speech does not exist in the United States. Don't kid yourself.
We have relative free speech and that's it. Free speech means I can say anything, ANYTHING, and not face legal consequences.

That's a fairly dubious assertion. Even if I accept the premise, the fact remains thatyou have more freedom to express yourself in the United States than anywhere else on earth. If you find the United States to be so oppressive, if this causes you significant psychic harm, the prospectus looks pretty grim.
Again, essentially the only prohibition on individual expression is direct, immediate, and credible death threats. I don't see that as especially egregious. You can call that censorship, but that's lowering the bar pretty far.
Who are you to unilaterally decide what free speech means?
It's not causing me anything and that's not what I am referring to. I am talking about a simple observation. Those who speak out to a large degree against government or try to shake the establishment at this foundation - well, those people end up dead. That's what happens when you rock the boat.
Freedom of speech is allowed as long as it remains within the acceptable framework. And that's not free speech - it's just a cleverly designed prison for the mind.
Not really. Anything that you can imagine the U.S. government doing to people, they can do or have done. There is still an acceptable framework that citizens are permitted to operate freely within. Once our government became so statist, the results were predictable.
Freedom of speach is not MONEY. One human being -one speach. Corporations are not people. Some people are "more equal then others" because they have a lot of money, because they are incorporated.
Go outside and start organizing a protest for overthrowing the U.S. government. Spend time gathering people to join you.
Eventually, you will be dead.

unless you swear or threaten somebody, you should have freedom of speech..
Nonsense. when your wife asks you if she looks fat tell her the truth. When your boss asks you waht you think of his brilliant idea, tell him the truth. When your neighbor asked your opinion of his taupe and chartreuse paint scheme for his house, tell him the truth.
Free speech means the government will not restrict your speech. Your wife, your boss, your neighbors certainly can.
