- mmastrac 4y agoHate speech is a crime, in many countries.
- vorpalhex 4y agoIf the law is so broad that anything can be interpreted as hate speech, it is bad law.
- mmastrac 4y agoA swastika is not hate speech?

- jaywalk 4y agoIt may or may not be. Context is important, and I think it's pretty clear that the swastika here is attempting to make the point (right or wrong) that LGBT groups act like Nazis.

- sgjohnson 4y agoThat’s because United States of America is the only country in the world that understands free speech.
- ziddoap 4y agoThis is one of those situations where, although I think I'm usually pretty adept at spotting sarcasm, I really can't tell if this comment is sarcastic or not. Top notch sarcasm or stereotypical "America best ever, every other country sucks". I guess it's funny either way.
- sgjohnson 4y agoIt’s not. No other country has such an ironclad freedom of speech protections as the US. If it was that easy to move to the US, I’d be on the next plane to Miami.
- xdennis 4y agoI don't think it's a joke at all. Americans may be overzealous in claiming to be number one in many things, but when it comes to free speech they are 100 % right.
- sgjohnson 4y agoI’m not even an american.
