   @Shadowman311 that's just "feel welcome and safe" having unrealistic weight to it. I don't feel welcome and safe in environments where I get censored or banned for sincere speech. The second pic has the same or a greater % thinking that people take 'offensive' content online too seriously, with every group except for girls.
   
   There's a great video that's lost to time, called "Public Opinion for Libertarians", where Bryan Caplan went through public polling data and gave libertarians tons of mild blackpills (mild because they only asked for the mild version). The basic message: if you ask Americans if they support stuff like "free speech", they support it to a great deal, but as soon as you go into any detail that support collapses. For example Americans really like free speech, but not as much the freedom to blaspheme.
   
   You should read polling like this in the same way: people really like "feeling welcome and safe" and other bullshit libshit language, but as soon as you get into the weeds of the nightmare enforcement implied by those terms, that support likely collapses as well.

     I would say that in this regard, the brown masses are just more honest, no one really wants free speech for everyone, if you really boil it down, your average Joe wants free speech for his friends and not for his enemies, it's just how human nature functions. The difference here is that your average border jumper doesn't have the intelligence level required to feel the need to pretend otherwise.
