> Yet to many Europeans the idea that free expression is under threat seems odd. Europeans can say almost anything they want, both in theory and in practice.

A journalist in Germany was just sentenced to seven months for posting a meme of a politician where she holds up a sign saying "I hate free speech".

Germany needs to amend their unfree speech laws , it's like a self-inflicted punishment now. The world is not asking for them to do that anymore

And you speak for "the world"?

I for one am pretty happy every law that curbs racism. It has worked great so far. The people that play victim are just cosplaying and looking for attention.

people who say that are usually happy with one kind of racism (e.g against palestinians) but not another

Do they really hate Palestinians because of their race? Jews and Palestinians are mostly the same race, their difference is religious and cultural. it's important not to dilute words.
