I'm saying this because I'm personally nervous to share this story on social media because I fear people will suspect I support the content on Bitchute.
Macron recently spoke very articulately about why the speech itself irrelevant to the issue at hand [1]. If you believe in the principles of free speech you must also defend the speech of those whom you disagree with.
Back then powers were not sufficiently separated and the president had more power than he should. Both the president and Hitler wanted a more authoritarian state and worked together. Hitler failed to get a majority but he wasn't satisfied with a coalition. He instead asked the president to arrange an emergency government to buy more time while Hitler used his goon squad to threaten members of the parliament to just quit or vote the way he wants until he finally got the majority of seats in parliament and then used that majority to abolish the parliament entirely.
The problem is that some people don't at all - either because they don't think the benefits outweigh the costs (quite a common point of view), or because such a freedom runs against religious dogma and religious law (the view to which Macron is responding), or because they think freedom of speech in its purest form, at least, is a dogma that is hard to justify philosophically (such people know what liberalism is, but reject it for one reason or another - they're not ignorant, and they publish their arguments, just as speech-defenders like Locke and Judge Easterbrook).
It's easy to dismiss religious funamentalists as a reasonable person. It's significantly harder to dismiss the other two categories of people. Whether a right or usage of that right is "worth it" seems to be a personal value judgement of what an individual wants society to optimize for, whereas the philosophy of freedom of speech is a complicated matter sensetive to political factors and the purported function (and actual function in the real world) of speech.
