Looks like I got someone butthurt
You're the one arguing the current German government is a Nazi regime. So do tell, in whats ways is the current government of Germany comparable to the Nazis.

Jail time seems excessive. Should just issue a fine and the proceeds can go to Israel to help not-genocide the Palestinians.

For thought policing. Get your head out of your ass and stop trying to legitimize stupid crimes because "nuance".

old lady may be a bitch but sending people to jail for opinions will never ever be anything else but authoritarian bullshit.
Most countries have "thought policing" to varying degrees, and they are clearly not governed by Nazis. Germany's anti Nazi laws go back a long way, and if I recall, are quite popular domestically. I don't support curbs on free speech, but most countries also prefer a more limited concept of speech than you or I.
Quit being dramatic and learn to engage with substance without just whining about Nazi this and Nazi that.

"Other countries do it so it's not absurd. Also, I want to repeat the previous point, but I'll write it differently so it appears fresh."
Wake me up when there's something substantive to grapple with.

Fun fact, in Austria and Germany you are way better off if you beat a guy half dead and break his nose, teeth and maybe even make him blind on one eye than if you write some Nazi supporting text (without ever having any legal issues whatsoever) on Facebook.
Germany preferring these kind of laws and other countries preferring these kind of laws are two separate points. Unless you think Germany=rest of the world.

I think you should work on communicating your ideas more effectively. More "substance" less filler.

Like I always say. Try to imagine your law being used against you, or in the worst case scenario in opposition to your own morals.
This kind of thing is a little scary. I see the responses saying "Germany's laws on speech are not like the USA's." I understand that, but I don't think that's a good thing, especially with something like this.

Says the guy equating this with “being actual Nazis”. Lol.

Have you gotten tired of defending child mutilation in the other thread?
