Every other Western democracy limits free speech by excluding "hate speech", which carries penalties. Maybe one of those definitions makes sense to you as a framework for what you would support in the US.

This has been abused time after time specially in places like Australia as much as I dislike a lot of things about the states, their stance on free speech is superior to any country. Not only that but what do you think you get by copying and pasting a vague wikipedia article, lol There is definitely not a good definition for hate speech and it will always be used to destroy dissident though please stop licking the boots of the powerful

The lack of a "hate speech" law is something that makes the US special. The only country with true freedom of speech.
