Thatd be illegal to say in the US too - freedom of speech only goes so far as to not incite violence doesn't it in the US?

No.. I can say trans men are NOT women all I want 100% legally, and I do..
Because trans men are not women.. But thats besides the point..

In the US you can say you hate white people, or Asians, call them crackers or gooks or bug people or even say nigger all you want legally as long as you dont CALL for violence..
And thats the way it should be..

Xxx racial slur people are disgusting and I hope they all die in a fire - perfectly legal
Xxx people should be punched in the face - bordering on not legal..
We should beat xxx people whenever we see them - not legal
You should throw rocks at xxx people - not legal
Those terrible xxx racial slur people all stink and should go back to where they came from - legal

Unless you say it about white people, then I guess the laws dont apply, seemingly.. Or even your favorite tech giant codes of conduct like twitter and reddit..
Like kill all white people seems to be perfectly acceptable just about everywhere..

You can even like, question the history of the Holocaust, and even fly a Nazi flag in front of your house if you want to.. If you want to.. If you believe such things or simply just want to piss people off for the lolz..

You can even go around in public in a kkk hood.. The kkk even have public demonstrations because they have the right to speak and gather just like everyone else..

Freedom is pretty nifty Wink

1st amendment.. Freedom of speech..
Its 1st for a reason.. Very important..

If it's that important why is it an ammendment 🤣... Clearly wasn't in the og version.

And you can say the same legal stuff here as you wish until it incites violence. You're protected against a criminal response. You can draw as many swastikas as you want in the UK and fly them perfectly fine. You'll find its only Germany who considers that illegal.

I'm pretty sure enough people have said at protests and on live TV "we should send them back where they came from" without any issue. Notably Nigel Farage but not limited to him.

Just spent some time crunching the numbers and the number of migrants (6 million) is the equivelant of the number of working age people in the UK that were classed as capable of work in 2017 (OK I didn't get the actual number but I took a third of all adults who were out of work which will do). I think Sweden is said to have a 16% migrant population so what's stopping the rest of the west from taking on more?

Politics. Media.

Eventually they will be forced to somehow attract migrants. Some projections shows that Balkan countries in the year 2100 will have half population as of right now. So unless they will offer good condition to migrants they will ignore them and move in other countries that will offer them better conditions. Second part of this century will be a huge fight for migrants. Countries that will not be successful at attraction them will become half empty and lose they strength a lot.

At the moment there only seemed to be 6 million refugees, however big that gets I don't think it'd be enough to have a massive impact.
