    There is a massive difference between allowed to say my government is doing something wrong, and being allowed to say “gas all the kikes”. One is criticism of authority, which is good. The other is hate speech, which is bad. You can absolutely have one without the other.

      There is no difference between those two phrases if you actually have free speech

      And in fact, saying “I voted for Donald Trump”, is way more offensive to me than saying “kill everyone in Gaza”

        Every freedom ends where freedoms of others are infringed. That includes every freedom, let it be freedom of movement (you can go wherever, but not someone else’s house), freedom of expression (you can express yourself however, unless that expression instills hatred towards others, inflicts trauma on kids etc. etc.) and yes, also freedom of speech (You can say anything, unless what you do is calling for violence, attacks someone etc.).

        Some of you US guys really don’t understand how freedom in a society works.
