… yet the European mind desperately wants to believe it has the same kind of free speech as the US, despite endless evidence to the contrary.
Imperial arrogance. All societies regulate speech. The U.S. regulates speech. We do so in a way different than the Europeans. Our way is not objectively the best way nor is it something that every other society ought to strive for.
Americans don’t seem to understand that their way isn’t necessairly the ideal.
