Ideas are concepts with objective existence, I think Hegel gets it's more correct than Kant. Kant also uses a learned Sage in a novel as ideal to show that some ideals, do, kind of exist.

Saying stifled free speech is the same as the non existence of free speech is like saying a dying man was never alive

...

Also, utilitarian logic has a scope and scale problem

Your rule works for doctors, but it assumes investigation is always an available route.

If you just want to say speculation is lame then make a Wittgenstein or Carnap topic dude

i do not deny that ideals exist and impact the way we act and think, i have admitted as much. but there has never been free speech as we define it in society, much like there has never been a living man on mars there has never been a dead one either. we can imagine as much but it does not exist in concreto and is thus useless to a materialist.

you have a good understanding of philosophy and dialectics but fail to accept that our ideals exist only as such and do not apply exactly to the real world.
