I suppose it was a self-fulling prophecy that the left would eventually turn into the extreme right. I hope we have ww3 because the lead up to ww1 and 2 are my favorite points in history.

Eat meat. Drink water. Do cardio and burpees. The good life.
Yeah, having the right to voice your opinion is a human right.
Any country that infringes upon it is not free. It can never be sensible to shut up people.
It is inherently anti democratic and wrong and if democracy is the goal, this cannot be a sensible restriction.
So yeah, call it 'by no means objective' all you want. My point still stands.

If being nazis is illegal in Germany and these people were doing nazi like things then they were breaking the law and were arrested for it. I'm not sure what the outrage is over it.
It's a shame the US doesn't do the same with things like the KKK.
Typical comment. It doesn't look like it could so it's really not that bad. The problem is the suppression of freedom is the issue, not whether or not they have revived the SS. Suppressing freedom has occurred since the beginning of human history. It is ingrained in our DNA and yet it is still unquestionably wrong.
We don't arrest the KKK because we want everyone to know how ignorant and wrong their views are. They aren't hurting anyone. If anything the people who assault them at their rallies are the ones who are wrong. They are the ones who start the fighting unfortunately. I opened this thread up because I wanted to see what people thought about freedom of speech on this forum. And I'm honestly not surprised with how people are talking about it on here. This forum really is weird.
