Free speech isn't a conservative value in much of the world. It's a liberal one.

Free speech is explicitly an American value. It doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. For anyone who wants to argue otherwise, lookup your blasphemy laws and shut the fuck up.

You think all other counties have blasphemy laws?

      There are several videos out of Australia in just the last week of them arresting and confiscating the electronics of people who only posted that they want to protest wearing masks (regarding covid). It's sick to the core.

      I can agree with “hate speech” laws only if the speech is overt and specifically calls for violence against a distinguishable group.

      So “fuck purple people, we should kill all purple people” would qualify. “I don’t like purple people” would not.

      Trouble is, slippery slope, we had someone call his MP a “cunt” and a “bitch” in Ottawa the other week and he’s being investigated for hate speech now.

      That's not what "hate speech" laws are in other countries, though. Hate speech laws in western nations are used to censor and imprison white people who don't want to be replaced and genocided and have their countries invaded and have open borders. Literally bluecheckmark influencers by the hundreds laugh about "killing whitey" all the time, not to mention the millions who aren't influencers who laugh about "killing whitey". Nothing happens, because the people who run society have anti-white ideology.

      Laws against calls to violence already existed.

      Hate speech is about offence.
