    Americans Shocked by '60 Minutes' Report on German Speech Policing

    A 60 Minutes segment on Germany's approach to policing online speech has ignited fierce debate on both sides of the Atlantic after it aired in the U.S. on Sunday. Critics have called the country's laws "Orwellian," while defenders insist they are necessary to prevent hate-fueled violence.

    The CBS News piece showcased how German authorities crack down on online speech deemed harmful or offensive under the country's stringent speech laws. The report documented early-morning police raids targeting individuals suspected of posting content that could incite hatred, including insults and even memes.

    Ah, so the real problem is that Germany is cracking down on conservatism online… which... is Nazi socialism. Fascinating.

    The established order is as sane as it is solvent = nuts.

    A relative of mine was somewhat involved a project to secretly record German officers, many very junior, captured after the war awaiting trial. There were mics in every room recording.

    The thing they learned is that men learn to like cruelty. This is why Germany needed the strict laws, these men had no desire to stop imaging themselves as important, even after a major defeat. They sound share stories proudly.

    Trump is after the souls of young men, a corruption German society knew it has to stem.

  6. At least you recognize that conservative views incite hatred. Truly a rare moment of self-awareness.

    Racial and social realism isn't hatred.
     
  8. Apart from your stupid posts, what have you contributed to the world on behalf of your "race?"
