Is Germany currently a fascist country? Hate speech is illegal because hate speech is violence. As other first world Democratic countries hate speech and violence is illegal. Baring hate speech isnt a fascist move, banning books, and open speech is. Open speech is possible without spouting hate. You are implying it’s not which is concerning in and of itself.
I have a serious question, if a Nazi radio propagandist in Germany was shot and killed in 1935, would you afford that person the same amount of empathy you are giving to Charlie kirk? He regularly spoke of subjugating women. Do you not think his wife and kids may be better off without him around, all women just a bit better off? Society, better off without such a hate filled man spreading verbal violence, encouraging physical violence? I honestly hate that I feel this way. But, only good fascist is a dead fascist. It was allowing these people unfettered freedom of speech, allowing them to yell fire in a crowded theater, or spout racist, sexist remarks at will without repercussions that got us in this position. Im just concerned of the martyrdom they have claimed and will take advantage of.
I don’t know what the resolution is. Violence begets violence, but, protesting peacefully wouldn’t have stopped Hitler or Mussolini. Im scared for my family, scared of these brainwashed idiot Republicans. I think a lot of us are at a loss for what to do. If you have any good ideas on how to stop our country from sliding further into a fascist dictatorship we would like know.
I will give you, my comment “a good fasct is a dead fascist” is hate speech. I think for this comment I should be fined for my hate speech. If I was an influencer spouting hate speech on the regular, there should be financial repercussions and if not stopped they should loose their platform. You’re spouting freedom at all costs. Do you honestly feel its ok for the president or an influencer to say racist, sexist and xenophobic, anti LGBTQ rhetoric without repercussions just because “freedom”?
