/pol/ doesn't agree on much, but surely we can all agree that if you don't have free speech, you don't have a democracy.

If you can't speak freely, you cannot fully participate in the political process. This means speaking freely about everything, including race, Islam, trannies and feminism.

In Canada, Fidel Trudeau will throw you in the gulag for misgendering someone.
In Deutschland, Frau Merkel' Gestapo will kick down your door for hurting someone's feelings on Twitter.
In the U.K., her majesty's government will lock you up blasphemy (but only against Islam).

Thus, in any true ranking of Democracies, the U.S. comes ahead of Leafs, Krauts and Britbongs.
