The difference between the US and Europe is one, the first amendment. Secondly-European countries and the EU are much much more sensitive towards genuinely revolutionary movements(i.e. fascism)-hate speech laws, as well as policies in place to ensure nationalist parties can never win elections(such as banning parties), keep discontent smothered under a velvet fist.
In the US you can say what you want, so long as the ADL doesn't demand you be removed from the airwaves, or your ISP provider cuts off service, or you are extorted for billions of dollars to made an example of.
So, free speech is ultimately nonexistent-in a meaningful sense-that is free speech as a vehicle for poltiical and social change, unmolested. You can shout "I hate kikes and niggers" on an American street, but be ignored, in Europe you go to jail.
These laws and policies are the bedrock of the post war order-and will not be changed by appeals to free speech, or an open market place of ideas-the peopke that set them in place, know that they are a bulwark against being hung from lampposts.
>The difference between the US and Europe is one, the first amendment. Secondly-European countries
"Europe" in not a monolithical entity, it comprises countries like the UK or the Holy See where the head of State is the head of the State religion and countries like France that try to keep religion away from the State. European countries can be very different.
>genuinely revolutionary movements(i.e. fascism)
Fascism happened in 1922. How would that be revolutionary now? Seems quite conservative to me actually to want to go back say, as an example, to the 1920s in Italy, the 1940s in Germany, the 1970s in Greece, Spain and Portugal.
>policies in place to ensure nationalist parties can never win elections(such as banning parties)
who won the elections in Italy the other day? Who is in charge of Hungary? Is the government of Poland anti-nationalist?
There are constitutional bans against the reconstruction of the fascist party (Italy) and against "totalitarian" (i.e. Nazi or Communist) parties (Poland). Germany bans parties that are deemed to be actively against the constitutional order.
And suprise! in the US, if a party is considered a terrorist organisation, it can surely be shut down. Try making a party of ISIS brethren or of Italian mobsters, see how long they last. Try to register Violent Overthrow LLC.
>You can shout "I hate kikes and niggers" on an American street, but be ignored,
please try, I am sure you will be completely ignored like you say and nobody will bother you.
