Euros can't seem to shake their love of authoritarianism

The chancellor of Germany says free speech is just a kooky American idea that he doesn't share:

“Please don’t come to me with free speech... That is at most a libertarian political understanding from parts of the USA that I personally do not share. A liberal society must still be able to protect its citizens from false information, from personal degradations, from discrimination.”

Whenever anyone snivels about free speech being a gateway to bad things happening, I ask them, "Who told you that you were allowed to say that?"

Authoritarian German governance contributed a lot of immigrants who fled it to the US in the 1800s, especially central US states.
