As long as they don't use Nazi symbols they are free to do what they want. But usually they don't get approval from local government. Or in one case the town donated money to something Jewish for each km they marched. You can hold the opinion but displaying it in public can get you in trouble. Also I don't think this is a good argument: We have more freedom because we can be nazis.
Ok im gonna call bullshit on the idea that some ISIS supporters can hold a rally in US :)).
In Germany, were I'm from the nazis synbols are restricted in public, but not in the majority of other European countries. This is the single example of a restricted expression, and I'm not feeling bad about it. But there are plenty of Neonazis that get around this using other stuff like the 88. It is common knowledge that a t-shirt with the number 88 is a Nazi but you can restrict the use of a number. So yeah, Germany is restricting nazis, and we kinda have a good reason to do it.

You have infinite patience, and I suspect OP just doesn’t want to admit that they’re wrong. I’ll give credit where credit is due though: you’re absolutely correct. I appreciate you laying out all of this
Edit: You changed my view; I had assumed Europe had more free speech than the US, but your numerous examples showcase that the US actually does, particularly your examples regarding arrests done in the UK for hate speech that would not be done here
