    The far-right problem is worse in speech-controlled Europe than in the First Amendment USA.

    You sure about that? Last time I looked nobody was openly advocating ending elections in Europe and enjoying support from nearly half of the population.

      It’s also a false narrative. Public speech is usually moderated in both the US and the EU.

      Extremism blooms way more often when speech isn’t moderated well. The UK being taken over by people who read/wanted to believe (Russia-sponsored) fake news on Twitter is a recent example.
