and two who are not members of the EU, the UK

We fucking wish.

But the current state in the US shows that Western civilisation has fallen. Mass unchecked immigration, destroying our economies over the flu, the young brainwashed into campaigning for their own slavery and death, and any veil of democracy we had is gone. Better start speaking Chinese and learning how to kiss ass.

a balancing act between preventing hate speech and allowing free speech

You can't have free speech but also arrest people for saying mean things. You either have free speech or you don't.

So I was telling my friend that we have as much free speech in the EU as America. To prove it I walked to a street by the White House and yelled "FUCK TRUMP! DOWN WITH AMERICA!" and I wasn't arrested. Then we went to Berlin and I walked to a street by the Chancellery and yelled "FUCK TRUMP! DOWN WITH AMERICA!" and I wasn't arrested either.

(Yes, I just repurposed an old Cold War joke.)
