Yeah, probably. I should’ve put a little more time into it before commenting.

TBH, I have very little knowledge on Germany’s political scene, I only ever really hear about AfD and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused. Also the Volkswagen emissions scandal.

I'm basing my judgement off of some Americans protesting for Hamas, thinking that protestors are sometimes really stupid.

and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused.

And the next lie ... Really, either stop posting or check your sources. That's (far-right) bullshit.

Germany is not the USA. That some Americans are protesting for Hamas has nothing to do with Germany.

Edit:

BTW, in Bremen 40,000 protested today. In Cologne another 70,000 protested. In Munich the protest had to be stopped after after more than 100.0000 (conservative estimate) people came together before the protest even started. And that are only some cities where protests are happening today. There are (peaceful) protests every day all over Germany and protests continue.

What have you heard about hate speech laws being abused?

I'm german and haven't heard much

Are you a tabloid reader by any chance?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

Not habitually, but sometimes a tabloid has something super stupid that catches my eye.
