You’re actually wrong about rights in the United States. You have every right to do all of the things you claim you don’t: https://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2012/11/its-tim...

The laws in the United States are pretty convoluted, and I don't think they align with human rights all that well, especially given the treatment of imprisoned folks or asylum seekers. However, I do think that causing mass hysteria for kicks (shouting fire...) is wrong and you should not do it.

I'm curious: do you believe that there is anything that one does not have the right to say?

Nope. And every other country in the world is available for someone to move to if they don’t like the US free speech laws.

So you believe that there is absolutely no form of speech whatsoever that should be protected as free speech?
