How far do you let that go? Doesn't that just lead to a selfish attitude of "I'm going to do what I want and I don't care what society thinks of me" ?

No, it doesn't lead to that. Clearly, there's a difference between protesting your own government, and being a lawless anarchist.

The laws that protect us from the latter are important. But as soon as we start enacting laws that protect us from the former, then we no longer live in a democratic society where free speech and dissent are part of the very fabric of the government itself.
