That is because you misunderstand what freedom of speech is.
Nope. What you describe is the First Amendment. The 1st, however, is not "freedom of speech". Freedom of Speech is nothing more than a concept, and has several restrictions that have legal standing. With "Freedom of Speech" you cannot, without restriction, say or publish things that relate to libel, slander, obscenity, pornography, sedition, incitement, "fighting words", classified information, copyright violation, trade secrets, food labeling, non-disclosure agreements, the right to privacy, dignity, the right to be forgotten, public security, and perjury.
I can legally call people "Idiot, fool, racist" in the real world,
Until it's slander. Or if it incites someone to violence and is considered "fighting words".
I've never found a place in Ameristan that I couldn't visit.
Except for Military Bases, Nuclear plants, Industrial Facilities in general, Government grounds (even a Post Office is off-limits except for the office that is open to the public), Bohemian Grove, Granite Mountain, the Cheyenne Mountain Complex, the Douglas County servers for Google, Fort Knox, and
several places in Washington D.C.
In every country, people generally work.
You consider that a lack of freedom?
When you job can dictate your free time, call you in on your off-time, as well as dictate your behavior and public representation while not working? And when your health insurance is tied to your employment? Absolutely, that is a lack of freedom.
I've the freedom to say anything I want.
Not legally.
Compare that with other countries. We're relatively free.
"At least our chains are solid gold, not hard-wrought iron!"
I can buy hi-capacity handguns,
Not without heavy regulations.
Only if they're street-legal.
Also with several restrictions, and some is flat-out illegal.
As said, we have the
illusion of freedom. Even if you buy that fast car and that airplane, you don't
really own them. They can be seized by the Banks or Government in an instant. You don't even own the music on your iTunes account, you own the permission slip to listen to it so long as it is made available to you.
