Anything from speed limits to laws against public nudity, drugs, prostitution, gambling, flag desecration etc
My right to not wear clothing in the street is apparently superceded by your right to not have to see my sagging waistline.
Every nation has to juggle individual freedoms and collective freedoms, protection of minorities and collective welfare. My take is that the US leans towards the individual on property rights, somewhat towards the individual on free speech, and leans towards the collective on all the examples I mentioned above.
In regard to European hate speech laws, and the French bans on Nazism and negationism, they don’t forbid talking about it, they simply forbid publically espousing these POVs, or inciting others to commit crimes.
Agreed, but as you can see from the examples above, the US is far from perfect in this regard. US government is pretty intrusive overall, although it does have a pretty good record on free speech.
For the record, I agree with you that the French ban on Mein Kampf and negationism are counter-productive, I just don’t agree with your wider conclusions.
