Isn't it amazing that the "pro-democracy anti-fascists" always want to protect us from free speech, free press, and non-violent dialogue about ideas with which they disagree.
It's almost like they promote censorship, political persecution, and ideological group think. Hmmm....like... THEY'RE FASCISTS!
Not in defense of these moves or motives. But I will say Germany and the U.S. are apples to oranges...
We never experienced what Nazi German was or became... Government or Society wise... Even during the McCarthy times, nothing even close!
Also we never have had real Far Right Extremists akin to those in Germany. Not even close, again... Those there are the real fucking deal...
Not open for debate! What they do and get away with, both sides of the fences there in Germany is so remote to what happens here, it isn't worth any correlation or comparison.
So point is, perspective is important, and looking at those moves through our lenses creates a tainted view.
