What if your group is fundamentally about killing or banishing


anyone who doesn't look like them? The purpose of their speech is to atteact a bigger group so they can execute that plan.

We have a more extreme view if free speech than many western countries (see link below). One of the key differences is that the test for whether speech can be banned is whether it's likely to immediately cause violence (a high bar) rather than whether it's likely to cause violence down the road.

As Stephen Breyer argued, given the changes in the world it may be time to update our standard.
