The U.S. might not be a free speech utopia but it’s pretty close.

Out of these three examples, the first and third are totally legal in the U.S.

Legal yes, IRL not very good for one's health though.
I know I sound like a horrible evil person, but yes I truly would like to live in a world where you can say any of those examples. As another commenter said, 2/3 of those are already legal to say anyway, and I am so glad that I live in a place that has that freedom.
I don’t agree with or like any of the things you say but I would rather live in a world where you can say them instead of being arrested.
If you disagree with me on major issues, I will defend your right to state that. But if I find myself in a place full of hate, be they nazis, or tankies, or whatever, I leave and don't come back.
