  It’s illegal to call Nazis Nazis in Germany.

    It isn’t. But they can take you to court and you’d have to demonstrate it wasn’t intended as an insult and instead as an opinion backed by substantial evidence.

      So in other words you can’t call them Nazis except for a handful of hyper specific cases?

      Nazi country is gonna Nazi. Free Palestine, from the River to the Sea you Nazi bitches.

        You cannot call them assholes either. Because free speech does not include verbal attacks such as insults, bullying or hate speech. Calling someone a Nazi without substantial evidence is a pretty obvious case of an insult.

        It’s not perfect, though at least Germany’s free speech and human rights protections are much greater than, say, Canada’s where a simple majority could just decide to criminalize all speech by invoking a certain clause.
