    We have the freedom speech, but we don’t put it above all the other basic rights and thus, it has well defined boundaries.
    Edit: Also freedom of speech often seems to be interpreted as freedom from opposition. Yet, telling someone they are a scumbag because they are repeating nazi ideology ist totally in accordance with that.

      Also for whatever reason people seem to think freedom of speech is also freedom from consequences. Her freedom of speech was not infringed, she simply got fired because she decided to do a stupid thing in public.
