I hope not! That doesn't make me feel better.
So what speech should be criminalized?
I was thinking of the Azov brigade. It was an overstatement on my part. My point was that I see hypocrisy. As @kepford pointed out, we probably shouldn't even use the word nazi. The hypocrisy isn't just AfD, Azov. It's listening to German prosecutors say people should be imprisoned for saying things on the internet. Call it nazi, fascist, communist, whatever. They use authoritianism to protect citizens against authoritarianism? The irony is ridiculous.
Unfortunately I think only a small minority of us think this:
We need to realize we do not need the state.
For instance? Corporations padding the pockets of elected officials to influence policy?
Revolving door private/public employment opportunities? I guess that's more fascism. Do you mean militarism and suppression of basic rights like speech?
After watching 60 minutes last week I think there is plenty of authoritarianism to go around in Germany right now.
Well said, as usual. In the US we know all about authoritarian systems with smiling faces. Things do seem to be getting really crazy in the UK and Europe lately, though.
Here's my point. The world recognized there is a Nazi element in Ukraine as recently as the early 2020s. That stopped after Putin's invasion(btw-I hate him). The western press denies this, despite obvious nazi symbols on uniforms, anti semitic acts, etc. The AfD, with far less evidence, are decreed nazis to help ensure the status quo remains in the EU.
??? I'm not calling all Ukrainians nazis. The Azov brigade seems particularly egregious. I'm just pointing out that the AfD is being painted unfairly in the German press as nazis.
The fact that a political party is defined as a proven right wing extremist group. The nazi convictions are cited, while ignoring the fact that the AfD is looking to deny german support for Ukrainian nazis.
@k00b, you're probably already aware, but a few zaps I made on your posts failed last night.
Very cool video!
I just finished reading Bitcoin Billionaires. Chamath is described as a "boastful, overdressed suit in the Valley, quick to parrot groupthink buzzwords and cliches... "
