If I talk about the trail of tears, gaza or criticise Biden I will get put on the no fly list?

I feel like you know my point, you're just wilfully ignorant of it, but I'll still reiterate.

China has very authoritarian censorship laws that stop you from bringing up things like tieneman square or even lightly criticising or mocking Xi Jingping. The same isn't true for America, so pretending the no fly list is equivalent is just pure tankie cope.

Quite possibly. Depending on how loud and active you are about it.

Yes if you say in a social setting you are going to kill the president, or if you called in a bomb threat to an airline, these are social nonos that can get you on the no fly list.

I understand and you’re trying to critique “social nonos” (laws) so where do you draw the line? You can generally say whatever opinion about someone but you can’t say whatever you want to do to someone.

That's litterally not the question I asked though is it?
