The ones without hate speech laws are more liberal on account of not having these laws e.g. Britain was more liberal before they were brought in. I don't think you understand how corrosive laws on freedom of expression are; for instance, there are probably things that you've said on here that could land you in prison either now or in the future, so what should that realisation do to your willingness to share your opinions?
I think this only makes sense if you consider the existence of hate speech laws the sole arbiter of liberalism. A liberal society could introduce said laws whilst progressing in other areas and probably continue to consider itself more liberal than an authoritarian society without said laws.
