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.

You can advocate for mass violence against innocent people. Define the entire group of innocent people as terrorists and you can call for violence against them. Call them Hamas and you will get away with it.

Terrorist is the magical word.
