...until you decide it's your right to publicly espouse a terrorist ideology like Nazism.

Then fuck you. Letting you Nazi motherfuckers hide behind the First Amendment was one of the worst mistakes America ever made, and I hope the Italian plumbers of the world make it very clear how welcome you are in decent society.

Okay, so terrorist beliefs like islamism as well?

Or maybe also terrorist beliefs like any show of support for Luigi Mangione? Or anyone who has read Ted K? Or anyone who advocates for radical change?

Great precedent for a government to selectively lock up anyone they want.

Always fun to run into someone who legit isn't aware that other countries regulate speech and function well regardless, and even gasp have protest movements.

Then again, the US' whole brand is doing things differently than the rest of the world for shitty reasons.
