In this episode of Agenda Fluid, Donovan and Ben dive headfirst into the messy playground of free speech, hate speech, and harmful speech — and somehow manage to come out only slightly bruised. Along the way, they argue about whether buying a $14,000 Wolf stove counts as free expression, why folding iPhones are basically just origami scams, and how a domain called fuckthis.space might be the pinnacle of digital protest art.

From First Amendment misunderstandings (“No, Karen, Facebook deleting your rant about chemtrails isn’t government censorship”) to the difference between graffiti in the park and yelling “the water fountain is poisoned!” — they break down the nuance with enough sarcasm to make the Founding Fathers roll in their graves. Toss in some rants about ICE job ads, dumb state education policies, and a dash of nostalgia for Gateway laptops, and you’ve got yourself the most chaotic civics lesson ever recorded.
