A good example of how the leftists prefer to operate.
Germany has gone full fascist, again.
Wow, the thought police. Wasn’t too long ago we would have laughed at someone suggesting this would be happening.
“Greens politicians in particular have made efforts to seek redress against who insulted them.”
But of course!
The Nazis are on the loose again in Germany!
Has the Nazi Fourth Reich started building crematoriums yet for the “criminal post” writers and the “digital arsonists”?
So, posting hate messages is worse than raping young girls?
The thought police have arrived.
Criminal posts = “Was it wise for Merkel to have admitted 2 million military age moslem males into Europe?”
Kristallnacht 2.0.
Yet these people are considered our “allies”.
A growing faction of digital arsonists have relentlessly waged a campaign of anti-Israel propaganda, flooding the information sphere with hostility and lies. Some have openly aligned themselves with Antifa’s radical agenda, while others act as conduits for Chinese Communist disinformation, force-feeding their narratives to unsuspecting Europeans. It’s past time we rise and confront the Islamo-NeoSoviet–Communist propaganda machine with unyielding resolve and strategic clarity”
Censorship by any name is still censorship.
So, things are going well in Germany I take it. Euro-paradise and all that.
Germany argued the laws prevented harmful rhetoric while balancing free expression.
==
as long as you agree with the govt you have “free expression”
all others
not so much
but they are not censoring
really they are not
The 20th century underscored what the ancient Romans knew. Germans are irredeemable. Barbarians first and always.
insulting politicians is a crime
insulting politicians in the US is our national sport
How can an otherwise intelligent and industrious country as Germany be so politically and historically blind in NOT seeing the sad irony of their authoritarian actions?
Germans are a weird culture. I still see vestiges of it in my family after more than 150 years in America.
They are smart, hard working, and diligent to a fault, but they seem to suffer from congenital myopia.
Germany’s at it again, acting like the hall monitor nobody asked for. Do they ever take a break from their power trip ambitions? Isn’t there something better they could be doing, like, I don’t know, minding their own business for once? Guess respecting basic inalienable rights is just too much to ask?
Awful to think about some FR poster in Germany having his door kicked in late at night and family hauled off because he wrote “Western civilization is a good thing”.
