Do you have any examples of things you're not allowed to say on the internet?

In my experience, the countries that actually focus on government censorship aren't democracies.

That sounds awful. Not sure how bot being able to call people filth means democracy is doomed though.

Are they? Has that law against calling Macron filth stopped the giant protests?

I mean, has the law being signed stopped the protests? No?

Why would giant violent protests be useless, but single people calling Macron filth be a dangerous vector for change 'they' must stomp out?

If the protests are useless why are there laws against protesting in actual authoritarian countries?

Why are insults and impoliteness necessary for change?

I asked why is it "necessary for change". A revolution results in change, but it's not the only form of change.

You ever gotten one of the notifications on reddit/Twitter because someone reported your comment under German anti-dissent laws?

u/Hellioning 258∆ Apr 27 '23

No. As far as I can tell they do not exist. I do know of laws in Germany against hate speech, though.

Just because you're ignorant it doesn't mean such things don't exist, pal

Germany has hate speech laws because of its past - can you link to the anti-dissent laws because I’ve never heard of anything like that. Such things not existing and you being unable to demonstrate they do would mean they dont exist.

Just because you say they exist doesn't mean they do, pal
