most of europe explicitly does not have free speech, because it’s commonly understood that harmful speech exists. i don’t know what he’s trying to convey with that idea but he comes across as misinformed, and not a little bit controlling (“should”)
Americans always freak out when they hear Canada has hate speech laws and claim they’re anti free speech.
Most of us don’t ever need to worry about hate speech laws, because most of us aren’t going around calling for violence and open bigotry against entire ethnic groups.
American here! Its because this is all rhetoric for the idiots that follow him. He doesn’t care if Europeans see him as an idiot, he cares that the idiots here see him as big brained. And the rubes eat up anything that has “free speech” in it because they generally interpret that as “its OK to be racist and misogynistic, its my right because freedoms!”

Hope this helped explain.
And probably also explains why I want to leave.
