Did you know that Norway, Sweden, and Denmark all have laws against hate speech, harassment, and discriminatory expressions targeting protected groups. For instance, Norwegian law prohibits public statements that threaten or insult someone, or promote hatred based on factors like ethnicity, religion, or sexual orientation. At the same time they consistently top indices like the Reporters Without Borders' World Press Freedom index. I'm not saying that your comment is threatening or anything, but it doesn't seem very important to me to protect the right of someone to use a crude derogatory like "tankie" (a word with parallels to terms like "pinko" and "judeo Bolshevik").
