I know this is just a meme, but free speech has never been completely unrestricted. If I say (hypothetically of course) "I'm making specific plans to harm lots of innocent people for political purposes" I've just opened myself up to lawsuits and immediate arrest.

That entirely depends who those people are. If you said in the early 2000s say: I'm training to join the army to go kill some Iraqis to bring "freedom", you'd never get in trouble.
