This is one of those situations where, although I think I'm usually pretty adept at spotting sarcasm, I really can't tell if this comment is sarcastic or not.

Top notch sarcasm or stereotypical "America best ever, every other country sucks". I guess it's funny either way.

I don't think it's a joke at all. Americans may be overzealous in claiming to be number one in many things, but when it comes to free speech they are 100 % right.

It’s not. No other country has such an ironclad freedom of speech protections as the US.

If it was that easy to move to the US, I’d be on the next plane to Miami.
