> free speech as a philosophy is about allowing all speech, cause other it's just mostly free speech

Then that's a philosophy virtually no one actually holds.

Very few people think death threats, fraud, etc. fall under free speech. If you do your speech at 3am with a loudspeaker in a residential neighborhood, you're probably getting dinged for "disturbing the peace", because other people have rights too, and society winds up having to resolve the conflicts.

In this case, a similarly important right - freedom of association - also applies.
