Can anyone explain the meme for the poor non-native english speaker?

Thanks :)

Absolutely! The joke is that "freeze peach" sounds kind of like "free speech," so it's become a meme to mock the (usually far right) people who claim that freedom of speech should be upheld at all costs, including human decency, and that things like racism, sexism, LGBTQ+ phobia, hell even full-on Nazi propaganda should be unrestricted on the internet.

Oh! I see. Thanks!

Don't worry as a native English speaker I would have never arrived to freeze peach from that picture.

Same. I was completely lost. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle… said the indoctrinating cartoon I watched as a child).

Cartoon propaganda occasionally worked like a broken clock :-P ( to proactively explain for those that don't know this one too: broken clocks are right twice a day by dumb luck)
