If you punish speech that isn't causing an immediate threat to life and limb you're not a democracy. It doesn't matter how you government is structured or what your other laws say.

I'm not seeing the inconsistency. Why couldn't a democracy be an oppressive regime? All democracy means is everyone gets to vote. I don't even think we've reached the true depths of democratic tyranny yet.
If only that was true things wouldn't have ended up like this, instead democracy is just a pretense for the government to do whatever it wants while the common man takes the blame for the decisions.

Cue that saying about democracy being two wolves and a sheep voting about what to have for dinner.
"Gang rape is a democratic process."
Damn, that's apt.
