Not true. Germany can prosecute you for "insulting the public officials", Spain - for "insulting the royal family", Poland for "offending the Polish nation", Italy for widely interpreted "criminal defamation", in Greece it is illegal to insult the president, parliament or public officials, in Ukraine saying anything against the prevailing narrative lands you directly in a torture dungeon (like what happened with Gonzalo Lira, who lived in Kharkiv, and was arrested, tortured, and left to die of pneumonia by Ukrainian SBU).

At the risk of stating the obvious, you can criticise the government without personally insulting public officals. In fact, in Germany, you can be prosecuted for insulting anyone; there is nothing special about public officials.

This lacks any nuance.

Ukraine is in an active war. They restrict pro-enemy propaganda.

Do you think your outcome would be any different if you publicly posted pro-jihadi anti-American content on social media after 9/11?

An US citizen was tortured and effectively murdered, and you're talking to me about "nuance"? WTF?

"Teeth pulled, fingernails spiked" torture?

Or put in prison during wartime and given a "similar level of healthcare that many in the US prison system receive" torture?

No, real, actual torture: https://x.com/GonzaloLira1968/status/1686140558803140608

No slandering laws in the US? I don't think so.

Also Poland:

- for offending religious feelings

Sure you can, you just have to be "saving democracy" on January 6th or whatever. Then the Supreme Court will practically kiss your ass and invent entire new legal philosophies to let you get away with incitement.
