Comment on Angry fattie German politician sends Gestapo to arrest person who called her fattie

Now this is truly a shit post. It looks shit and reeks of shit made by a shitty American I assume.
You know your constitutional given right of free speech, yes? Yeah but that doesn’t entail being free of consequences. Or as the cool kids say: fuck around and find out.
Defamation of public figures has to have consequences especially when they are so god damn shallow as calling Ricarda Lang in 2024 a fattie.
You also don’t go to jail over this. But the Platform Provider Gab not cooperating with law enforcement is the real scandal here.
I don’t give a shit about this post or any argument happening, but I am curious about why you think defamation of public figures specifically, has to have consequences?
I am not a fan of defamation against anyone, but I give the least amount of fucks for any politician. (Maybe one or maybe half of a fuck is given in their case.)
I think that people don’t have to take shit from bullies and we have laws to help victims in this regard.
Lmao GAB is an American platform. They have no obligation to cooperate with Neo-Nazis from Germany ordering them to turn over personal information to imprison an innocent internet user. In fact GAB did the right thing by protecting that person.
Calling a politician is not “defamation”. Are you high, friend?
Who are the Neo-Nazis in Germany again? You don’t seem to be an expert or even an informed individual on this issue. Not even in the slightest.
People threatening to imprison members of the public just because they insulted one of their politicians. That definitely sounds like Nazi behavior to me.
Since you still haven’t presented a credible source, I highly doubt that it’s just because someone called her fat. Usually that comes along with threats and that is punishable.
Ah yes of course, we all are just neo-nazis here in Germany.
Sod off arsehole and go back to actual fascist USA.
The nazis engaged in propaganda and punished people who spoke ill against their politicians. This is Nazi behavior. And since we’re in modern times, they are “Neo Nazis”. Neo means “new”.
Yeah no, Nazism has a meaning and this ain’t it.

USians somehow tend to think their constitution applies worldwide 😂

Yeah freedom of speech SHOULD apply worldwide. Do you support North Korea?

Freedom of speech is not and should not be unconditional. It does not cover spreading hate or lies.

Spreading of lies is called defamation. And that’s illegal everywhere.
