Why would pro free speech people be right wing?

Because for the last 10 years anyone who was pro free speech was called a fascist in the US.

Okay? That doesn't say much about what they do today nor if you are against this censorship.

		It wasn't censorship. Their activity hit a limit and triggered an automated suspension. https://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/meta-says-suspe...

i havent really seen proper breaches of free speech until those same people got power, like the government coming in to strip people's education visas or greencards for having the illegal opinions about israel

		That isn't freedom or speech, that is the first amendment.

Free speech is not freedom from free speech being used against you. You don't just get to say what you want and everyone else shuts up about it. How absolutely myopic do you have to be to think this way?

Well when you put it like that, were right wing folks ever really pro free speech?

		Mostly no, but the people who ARE pro free speech (e.g. libertarians) have mostly found the right to be slightly more tolerant.
