Free speech is a purely American, and 20th century concept. No one, anywhere else in the world, has what we have. They might have gotten close to it in the late 20th century, but with Hate Speech laws and other forms of political censorship in the rest of the world... the concept just doesn't exist. The rest of the planet already doesn't accept free speech.
Europe, indeed the rest of the Anglosphere, has to be dragged kicking and screaming into tolerating dissent.

Indeed europe has never known free speech the concept itself is something they believe to comprehend and that they actually have (atleast in some countries, haha), It will require quite a shift in the culture to ensure they learn.
Absolutely no chance.
