Thanks I'll check it out.

I think I understand where you're coming from but I would instead state it as supporting first amendment style laws for my country, warts and all.

Would you argue that the first amendment should be annulled?

No, I’d argue that you do not understand the implications of your first amendment:

because you have an absolute free speech, you also expose yourself to the absolute consequences of what you say, or do.

Exposing oneself as a nazi exposes one to consequences.

Once, not that long ago, your country was proud of kicking nazis dead, for good reasons (albeit a bit hypocritical too when one reads history).
