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".

No, there might very well be a witch hunt on Milo but what I'm saying is that it doesn't apply to free speech since the government isn't limiting his right to speak anymore than they do for other citizens

I'm critical to those that see the Swedish Democrats as a threat to our democracy. I think their policies describe a society that moves in a fascist direction but it is because of democracy we have the tool to use our vote and keep them from enacting most of their policies. Some people may mot agree with me and will support them, that is their democratic right and I applaud that right even when I don't agree with their vote.

Also, out hate speech laws are way to constricting in Sweden and we should have a more liberal attitude towards any kind of speech. But as long as the law applies equally to everyone, no one can claim that they are singled out.
