      There is an obvious reason why countries like Germany make a strong stance against any “trolling” nazi joke/imagery/salute.

      But America’s First Amendment seems to not understand that reason (or only understand when it is weaponized against communism, black people, trans rights and all the “woke culture” stuff)

        Like alot of things in the USA, laws are selectively enforced to protect the status quo.

      Everyone has a different definition, but yeah generally free speech in an ideal sense extends to just before you start causing what a reasonable person would concern harm to someone.

        Fuck that. People spreading racial hate and public lies with the intention to mislead the public should be locked up.
