At least I can speak freely and scream from the rooftops about the shitty parts of the US

Someone's never heard of the Free Speech fights.

You can and will be jailed just for saying shit, if people start to listen to you and you're saying the wrong shit. Your "freedom of speech" is as worthless as used toilet paper the moment a judge decides to issue an injunction against you i.e. the strikes in Harlan County in the 70s had judges jailing people for using the word "scab."

Also fun fact I learned today, remember the Kent State Massacre? People were ordered to apologize for being shot just to get compensation, which only covered legal defenses. Land of the fucking free, lmao

Leaking confidential information, as damning as it may be, is illegal.

When your life is made illegal, what're you gonna do, liberal? Roll over for the bourgeois state like a good boy?

No, not at all.

Freedom of speech protects you from being prosecuted for saying something.

It doesn’t protect you from any other consequences of what you say.

I did not say that you can say anything with no consequences whatsoever

They were talking about prosecution

You're just being obtuse and refusing to understand reality, so as not to lose an argument or learn something.
