The three countries at the top of your list are all Facist and Nazi in their history.   Vichy France was also controlled by the Nazis and the Gestapo. 

The control of speech is what they are used to.   

It is a crime to even deny the Holocaust in either Austria or Germany.  

Not in the US (or in Iran--they have done it regularly including by their 'President'.)

The Czech Republic had its speech controlled by its Communist government from the end of WWII in 1945 until 1993 and the USSR disintegration.  

They, too are used to not being able to speak freely.

Perhaps they are all your soul-mates; certainly not mine!
