It looks like the US is way behind Poland in modern free speech mediums. I suspect ideological uniformity in US institutions led to this. As technocracy increases, the temptation to simply ban ones foes grows too great. Severe competition between the two sides just magnifies these temptations. Unless, of course, one side's unifying principle is libertarianism. But as we saw in the American Revolutionary war, that really didn't change the dynamics too much. You just find another term to wiggle around those ethics. Right now its hate speech. In the 50's it was communism..
And don't forget, Poland has a history of some rather progressive political principles.
