It's a joke, but with some truth to it. In red countries, okay to point out obvious truths denied by PC elite such as Muslims are terrible immigrants to get, there's only 2 sexes, trannies are mentally ill etc.

I hate the "PC police" relationship to truth as much as anybody, but It's kinda hard to see how this is not just the equivalent of exaggerated use of Nazi-comparisons.

I think you yourself admitted that it wasn't "just" fun to you either. Didn't you? So ... the next time a SJW compares you to a nazi in a funny way, you'll accept it as "just" a joke?

... and all I'm doing here is to point out that you risk a double standard.

Not really. You're just being the usual Twitter party pooper who objects to jokes because take everything literally.

nope... I just thought the "joke part" was not that funny and the non-joke part of it (giving the impression that Russia has more free speech) was feeding into an already way to widespread myth.

... and btw... I find it debatable which is the greatest threat against free speech in the west. The PC tyranny or that large parts of the Trump base think the press is the "enemy of the people":https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/donald-trump-republicans-press-media-enemy-of-american-people-news-trust-ipsos-poll-a8481686.html …

I think media censorship by big tech is the biggest threat, especially when combined with AI. Trump can't really shut down press even if he tried. 1a protects them pretty strongly against strongman types like him.

I'm completely on board with that social network monopolies is a threat to the democratic debate. I don't believe the US constitution protects against an autocrat if the congress passively lets him slide towards totalitarianism.
