I mean, for me, it means both. I’m a big believer in FDR’s concept of four freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear.
Personally, I kinda roll Freedom of Expression into Freedom of Speech. Because any form of expression is essentially speech, even if it doesn’t use words to speak.
I would disagree. How you dress, how you present, how you act, these are all things that speak without words. I would call those speech.
Truthfully, though, if I were coining the phrase, I would have said “freedom of expression” and “freedom of thought” instead of “freedom of speech” and “freedom of worship”. Both of those are broader categories that encapsulate the concepts FDR articulated. After all, what is worship but conceptualizing the deep thoughts about where the universe came from, and finding a community of like minded folks?

Unfortunately, you are far too right about far too many people.
That’s exactly the rationale behind the citizens united ruling
Needs some freedom FROM worship to complete the set, but otherwise spot on!
Freedom to throw 200,000 Japanese Americans into concentration camps. Fuck FDR.
Yeah, most people in history say amazing things and then turn out to be fucking monsters. Especially in American history.
But just because they’re awful fucking hypocrites doesn’t mean what they said has no value.
Fair enough.i also think it’s fair to mention what a dickbag he was every time his name comes up.
