MODERATORS

Europeans believe in freedom, as in freedom from harassment and hate speech, for everyone, for the good of everyone
Americans believe they personally should have freedom to do or say anything, even if it's hateful and incites violence, as long as they personally are "free", even if it is bad for society as a whole
These are incompatible views and no good can come of this thread
I am a European and I do believe in the real freedom (the one that ends where someone elses starts) but I don't see how this applies whatsoever here, plasphemy laws in 2023 is nuts and shouldn't be a thing!
"Inciting a riot" is a thing
