Some things people say are disagreeable or unpleasant to others. That doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed to say those things.
As long as what you say doesn’t directly cause quantifiable harm to others, it’s OK.
That is in direct contradiction to safe spaces, which are premised on the idea that anything a single person dislikes constitutes "hate speech" and should be removed from public discourse.
That’s why free speech and safe spaces are incompatible.
Once you start limiting speech in one area, it’s hard to stop doing so in others.
Now that universities have limited free speech, we’re seeing Big Tech do the same online.
What was once a vibrant hub of open thought has, like our universities and corporate boardrooms, turned into yet another safe space created by bubble-wrapped cultural Marxists who deem themselves the unelected sole arbiters of what is allowed and what must be suppressed.
