Angry mobs can execute people too, and did so frequently in the US not so long ago. To a black man in the 1920's non governmental censorship was a deadly threat. Freedom of speech is not an interpretation of reality. It can't be proven or falsified. It is a religious belief, and not all societies share it. I do personally think that their system is worse in terms of magnitude of consequences, and that ours is worse in that its rules are completely arbitrary and unwritten. |

Yes, that's why we have government and law in an attempt to protect you from things like that.
So the fact that some other government or law is intentionally doing that to other people doesn't seem like a rationalizing argument to me.
