Holy shit dude... just stop.

>Nobody is being arrested for claiming there's no holocaust.
Beyond the fact that this is explicitly not true for a place like Germany? The sad, and simple, fact of the matter is that a cop can arrest you because the sky is blue. Getting arrested or not getting arrested doesn't mean much.

>Only retards conflate the court of public opinion with freedom of speech.
No, because the whole point is the free expression of ideas. If I'm going to lose my job because a bunch of internet activists will try to get me fired? If a bunch of internet activists are going to make up some shit to try and get me killed by way of SWATing? ... well then I might think twice, or thrice, before I express that idea that the internet activists don't like, which sounds great if you're an internet activist, jackboot, authoritarian except for one thing:
... then the bad guys stop telling on themselves so much. So you trade the winning of the war to win a couple petty battles at best, all the while trampling over the right of people to be able to freely express themselves.

Why is this important? Well when the government does it too much people start to want to revolt and that is very fucking chaotic for everyone. The irony is that it is literally better for everyone to just let the speech be spoken.

>You can say what you want, but that doesn't mean what you say is without consequence.
It really should, especially without immediate consequence. Just because someone talks a big game doesn't mean they walk the walk anyway.
