Forums - Politics - Go to jail for being a Nazi

yeesh, i'm no fan of nazism but making thoughts and ideas crimes is scary.

bad ideology should be fought with better ideology not with prison and fines.

I completely okay with sending to jail for a short period of times people who legitimate any racist ideas.

The problem is the slipery slops toward censorship.

But I think we can agree that Nazi ideas specifically or neo-nazi should be sent to prison



Germany and Austria have similar laws



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week.

Yes, they swallowed it.”

Bet they're cool with Stalin's inhumanities though. Ah, the sweet scent of hypocrisy.
