I have a question, how can this be legal? How can this guy say this crazy shit and not being immediately fired and banned from television? It’s just unbelievable to my European eyes
Well, to my European eyes it’s not strange at all. These are some extreme takes but that’s how freedom of expression and press work. My European country has a politician with decades-long career who routinely claims democracy is a bad system, that women should not be allowed to vote etc. Luckily for us the man has near-zero actual power, but still, we can’t jail him for talking even if what he says is horrifying.
Usually a “call to arms” is where freedom of speech ends.
