I hear the Roman Empire was full of Nazis.

Nazis came long after the Romans, I think you can google it


The Nazi salute was actually created and used by the Romans.

I believe people have the right to show political allegiances freely. Even if others dislike that allegiance to a specific group.

Would he be punished if he had made a communist of capitalist gesture/salute ?

 

It's an allegiance of racists, it's something all countries are trying to educate people about, so no it's not productive or appropriate for our modern World to let racism florish

Learning from the past is something were not good at, but at least try

Racists exist with or without Nazis.

Nazis are racists



"get rich or die trying" as tattoo. he died trying lol

he is only banned for the national tream and that isn't too bad, i mean, it's the team to represent your country and you don't really need those people to represent it. as long as he can still play in the league i don't see the problem.

and telling he didn't know what that means, seriously? he knew that for 100%



Laughable ban.

Freedom of speech is increasingly becoming restricted by the modern morality police. In the modern Western world the established power can shut the mouth of their opponents, minorities and differing opinions by accusing them of "instigating hate". This unfortunate development in the Western world is a huge problem for democracy and humanity.

I love Greece. A wonderful country and culture. In my opinion Greece has an immigration problem rather than a racism problem (although they often go hand in hand).

Yeah Greece wont officially recognise other races as citizens (where is their freedom of speach?), so no problem right!?

Don't let a nice island holiday keep you in the dark, whylst your sipping your frappe, ask the Greek waiters about the native Albanians or Macedonians living in Greece, if they look blank or go all ape maybe do some reading, if human rights don't matter to you, enjoy your fetta cheese

So? The german übermensch was basically the same as the new soviet man except it used of nature instead of nurture.

You are simply more uncomfortable with it because after the second world war the western world was engineered to accept social causes as the only reasonable way to look at how people could be different. It's convenient to think we can be born as blank tables but the suddenly the opposite becomes very unsettling. I recommend watching the hjernevask documentary to see what I mean.

Moreover, in the end of the day that's just a feature exacerbated by authoritarian political regimes - you know, kill the people you don't agree with what they are or what they have become. A step up from the way people living in democracies find to dehumanize their political opponents. Didn't you ever heard of libtards and bible thumpers?

Thank you very much for showcasing all your intelligence on this discussion.

Now it's clear all you are willing to do is waste people's times appealing to emotion and fallacious arguments.

As in mathematics all arguments are best decanted to their purest form, I think you got the answer you deserve ;)

What does that even mean, "recognice other races"? Most European countries don't use race to describe ethnc groups, they use nationality and citizenship.

I assure you, I know very much about Greece, Greeks, the culture, society and mentality, all the negatives and the positives.
