 In america all of these things are legally protected free speech. What a country 🦅 🇺🇸 https://image.nostr.build/4928ed7a99064405390c09b7a9bd9f43fcecfc6a00417e55b15be1571005519a.jpg  
 Isn't inciting violence the line even in the US? or is it specific call to violence in an organized fashion?  
 Depends. If you're saying something vague, it should be fine. If you explicitly say you're going to do something violent, that will get you in trouble.

Example : "people should arm themselves, carry concealed weapons, and be ready for anything." - all legal in the US, and this is not expressing criminal intent.  
 Has to be specific and credible. 

You can say “I’m going to fucking murder you” and that’s usually protected speech. Depending on circumstance. 

But if you said “I’m going to fucking murder you John smith and I’m going to do it right after you get out of work at the Wendy’s on Cicero ave tomorrow”

Then that’s not. 
 The sending false or threatening communications. Is for things like bomb scares. If you threaten to blow things up or phone in bomb scares is that free speech in the US? 
 Bomb threats are illegal. That falls under specific and credible violent speech “False communication” by this he means “misinformation” is not. 
 Unless you're a journalist exposing US war crimes ... 😔 
 What you do is who you are.  
 I doubt that in America anything is protected as of today ! Covid was an example ! 
 Maybe not, but we still got the right to go down shooting in a hailstorm of bullets! 
 They are fighting the 1st, but we still have the 2nd. We’ll fix the BS of the last four years. The youth are waking up 
 I hope that people will have more balls to resist and not just say that we have guns 🤞 
 I agree. Look at Australia now, with respect to guns. 
The rest of the world looks at the United States as an example. If they can destroy it, the world will have fallen to globalism. Covid was a wake-up call. 
 it doesn't take many armed and dangerous men, .just a few will be very effective
there are plenty of people with training or that are still in the military, (and other, sensitive areas) that will be a real problem if the regime continues the current path...it seems they want to provoke a reaction - they seem to think that the people who are going to lead the fight are lead by emotions like the political base, but that is a miscalculation  

many young men are out there unmarried, with no prospects of a family...nothing to lose:  a suicidal attacker is extremely hard to stop - there could be middle east style violence - maybe that will be an excuse for more government and more surveillance 

strange times 
 Culture is everything. Deep blue states were outright tyrannical. But Texas didn't have covid - no one died here and no one wore masks. Maybe Austin was the exception, but no one willingly goes to that lefty cucktown. 
 It’s not even about blue and red! People just need to wake up and turn off TV and centralized social medias to get some sense of what’s going on to wake up!  
 Then promote #bitcoin . Or promote it harder. I'm saying this to myself, too. This is the only realistic chance we have. 
 Amen!  If you put conditions on speech it ain’t free. 
 The first four letters of his name is accurate  
 How can people be so dense as to not realize there’s absolutely zero objective definition of any of those things? That anyone in power will literally (and extremely easily) determine that whatever results in the things that get in their way are “hate speech” and “inciting violence?”

I guess I’m being naive to assume that there are any meaningful number of people in power who dont know exactly what they are doing. 
 This guy is a British immigrant. So not an American. But mainly people are just very dumb. 
 Because they feel they are on the winning side.  They are too foolish to understand the guillotine they built will be their own destruction. 
 Sending false communication is a crime? I guess Nazir should be prosecuted for his false tweet then. 
 God bless America and the brave people who are keeping her free 🕊️🕊️🕊️. 
 In your opinion, which one is the state in US with more freedom. The best one for a bitcoiner to raise a family? 
 Here’s the top five https://image.nostr.build/ea16d6aa7395aa37fd2bd48275effd0ac5b5cbe68843cc1c3159182ec074a3fd.jpg  
 Thank you. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out 🙏 
 tExAs! 
 "false communication" is a crime hahhahaa. Mental midget. 
 the Nazi part of his name checks out 
 I always thought Europe was free as the "land of the free" in America, and there was no difference.   Now I see why I was so wrong.   for the sake of the World, The USA must remain free.   
 You get it 
 Do you not think though that population density contributes to being less “free”? 
 I think it contributes to leftist thought patterns. 
 What contributes to right patterns. My whole life it was the “far right” until the past couple of years. Not sure it’s right or left it’s just weird 
 Rural space seems to contribute to right leaning views politically. 
 I’ve noticed this pretty much everywhere in the US. 
 legally protected is a farce...power projection is the real protection of rights  
 I agree with you in principle but it does look like the US constitution has at least slowed down tyranny.

The UK seems to be speed running what we’re experiencing as a slower creep. 
 It’s always been blue big cities red everywhere else 
 But freedom is for all whether we like what they think or not. 
 Kinda. Intrinsically yes, but intention of said speech and outcome are not always. 
 He doesn’t get to decide which part is free speech 
 It actually depends on where you live in the US. 
 Nope it’s true everywhere. Free speech is federally protected. 
 I envy Americans. Calling a politician from the German party a green witch (referring to her radical lockdown policies) will cost you 2100€ 
 What’s her name? I’ll say mean things to her on twitter for you for only 1000 sats lol 😂

that would be great, thanks  
 wait, is he saying that people are who they are based off the color of their skin? 
 Yep
