7:40 - "the most free society the world has ever seen" - yeah nah that's bullshit but whatever.
These snowflakes are ridiculous. Falling over each other to claim victimhood in one of the richest most open countries in the world.

Actually no, he is 1000% correct on that point actually. 1000%, no questions asked, the United States has the most freedom of any modern day nation on the planet. Go ahead, ask me how I know this.

Stossel is wrong. Switzerland will throw your ass in fucking prison if you deny either the Armenian Genocide or the Holocaust. Where there is no freedom of speech, even ignorant and wrong speech, (YES! even so-called "hate speech" is covered by REAL freedom of speech) there is no real freedom.

Well, you gotta pick your battles. Do you choose the option to be a holocaust denier just on ideological basis even if you aren't into that or choose less economic freedom?

Here is the bottom line. If you can be thrown in prison or have your property taken from you by the State for espousing an idea, no matter how wrong or insulting it may be, you are not truely free. You can bitch about "economic freedom" but it doesn't matter if you point to a country that practices pure Capitalism with ZERO regulations on business. If that business owner can be imprisoned for what he says, he is less free than I am.

I agree with you, but on a purely practical level If you don't happen to be a holocaust denier you are more free in Switzerland.

They literally live in a country controlled by a dictator. Though your assertion is true, it is irrelevant to the original argument.

The full glorious event is posted a little ways down on the new post page here. It's amazing how shallow their thought processes are.
