Do americans unironically believe they're the only country with freedom of speech? Whenever I see a burger listing reasons why they think their country is great they absolutely insist on including this part as if it makes them special. That's like if I listed clean drinking water as a reason why my country is the best. Is it just brainwashing that makes them believe the rest of the world doesn't have this or what's going on?
Do americans unironically believe they're the only country with freedom of speech...
In law, yes.
They have a better legal standard for it than most of the world, so they get to be proud of it I think.
>be american
>Go outside with a sign writing your opinon on it
>Another american disagrees
>Shoots you to death
>Enjoy your freedom of speech
You think we have freedom of speech? Try stating a fact they don't agree with and see what happens
t. can't deny Holocaust
In Spain you can be taken to court for blasphemy: elpais.com
Or for insulting the king: elespanol.com
Many countries have less freedom of speech than USA.
because they are? atleast theyre the only country with a legal framework - the 1st - for defending. almost everywhere else there are limitations or vague way to challenge it. for example in the netherlands we technically still have blasphemy laws and a politican got into legal trouble for saying he wanted MINDER MINDER MINDER (less ,less,less) moroccans
This lmfao
>t. country where you get into trouble for calling muhammed a pedo
you are a moron
freedom of speech =/= freedom of consequences
> me, an intellectual, enjoying my freedom to shoot back
>freedom of speech
China has more freedom speech. My country like to censor Trump.
It literally is
Imagine if you said "you're free to criticize the king, but you'll be beheaded immediately afterwards if you do"
americans behead each other ALL THE TIME
USA is the ONLY country in the world with actual freedom of speech laws.
It's crazy isn't it, going to jail for voicing an opinion. Will never understand this.
We basically are, actually.
sometimes it's enough to just wear a red cap in public to invite a lynching over there it seems.
I don't know, lads. Seems to me like in practice it's basically the same. Burgers don't even follow their own laws, and if our politicians are anything to go by neither do we.
that's just part of our proud culture dude
Then why is the US banning TikTok
Isn't having a law that says "you can't be jailed for saying [x]" and a lack of a law that says "you will be jailed for saying [x]" essentially the same, though?
The only thing we have over here is holocaust denial/re-activation, which you have to be an actual retard to do anyway, and inciting violence against ethnicities, to which the former also applies, and both of those things are laws burgers made our country agree to in the first place. Everything else is fair game.
We're actually the only country without freedom of speech.
One thing you can't ever take from americans is their free speech. Out biggest forum had to move there because of our lack of free speech.
Are companies not allowed to their freedom of speech?
Based blixtbak
You can't talk about a system and then put criminals as an example of why a system doesn't work. Otherwise no country has any rights since there's always people breaking the law.
Europe has no freedom of speech comparable to the US that's just a fact. Although it's changing in the US, they are getting more like us slowly but surely.
We're in this together
You know you're dealing with a mind parasite when it actually creates laws pertaining to what exists in your mind.
Americlaps try wearing a maga hat and yelling nigger outside, see if you have freedom of peach. If i did that people here people would call me based and offer me a beer
America is way less cucked in general.
At least on paper.
Of course if you challenge the status quo in the US you get your ass handed to you just like you would in Europe.
No, you get threatened.
>recieve threat
>thank you threatener
Now I have enough reason to END you.
>In law, yes.
Are you retarded?
this retarded finn does have a point. americans might have a much better legal framework but shit like getting 'cancelled' by twitter commies because you said a bad word is unheard of here
Can you elaborate more on this please?
Most countries even in the west dont. This map is just holocaust denial laws. Then you have the UK that has the hate speech laws. Across the globe lot of countries have laws punishing speech against religion. Im not even going to touch dictatorships or countries where almost all media is state owned.
"based"
t. lilb the raper
vs pic related
How the fuck can you proclaim to be a free country and a bastion of liberty yet not allow someone to do something as basic as share a controversial opinion.
If that’s one thing America should be proud of it’s that, so I stand with them in that regard. America IS the only country with freedom of speech.
Pussy ass daily mail.
link me the images.
The cancel culture is eating itself thankfully. Also, I dont know why no one ever mentions how the percentage of Twitter users posting this cancel shit is like less than 1%. If a democracy continually made laws based on 1% thought it would be a train wreck that was overthrown in a year.
