Democracy is associated with a high level of free speech. One of the biggest threats in Western society today is the attack against free speech.

With Milo now all hell breaks lose because people misinterpret him on purpose because of something he said.

It's a huge democracy problem. Certain opposing opinions are heavily oppressed, often enacted by widescale media witch hunts.

I don't imagine for a second that these people care about what he actually said or about victims of pedophilia in this context. They just see Milo, being an extremely charismatic person, as a huge threat and they use this only to hurt his career.

Free speech is anyone's right to express themselves on any topic. It is also free speech for anyone to criticize what that persons says. Having a book deal cancelled or a booking to speak at CPAC revoked has absolutely nothing to do with free speech since that doesn't infringe on your right to express yourself. He can have his CPAC speech on any street anywhere and print his book for his own money, so his democratic rights arent I fringed in any way. It's just him playing the classic victim part just because he is a spoiled troll.

So you deny that there's such a thing called "witch hunt".

In the name of consequnce I hope that you also deny that hate speech is a problem then,  and all these accusations thrown around my media and politicians that the rhetorics by Sweden democrats are an "attack on our open and free society and our democracy".
