Yeah, none of these are actually about criticizing policies.
All of these are cases of targeting groups of people or individuals.
I guess some people just can’t grasp that distinction?

One example of someone going to jail for criticizing policy and no more walls of text, and naive understanding of oppressive regimes please.

Pot calling kettle? You already have a fascist government on your hands.
Then skip all the articles talking about your First Amendment as if it’s somehow relevant :D
It’s hilarious how far you have to reach to get any criticism where I simply asked you for one, one single case of someone going to jail for criticizing policies and you just can’t provide it.
Instead endlessly moving goalposts and projection of your own understanding of how laws should work.
Btw the anti hate speech laws are there to prevent disasters like those from the Nazi time, and for a good reason. Speech has consequences.
