    I would normally be sympathetic to their stand except earlier this year when this first started, they called on Trump to use all available political leverages to prevent this and protect free speech. Calling on Trump to protect free speech is just absolutely ridiculous.

        There is an obvious reason why countries like Germany make a strong stance against any “trolling” nazi joke/imagery/salute.

        But America’s First Amendment seems to not understand that reason (or only understand when it is weaponized against communism, black people, trans rights and all the “woke culture” stuff)

          Germany make a strong stance against any “trolling” nazi joke/imagery/salute

          And look how that’s working for them: clamping down on pro-Palestinian protests as antisemitism, raids & arrests over calling a politician pimmel.

          America’s First Amendment seems to not understand that reason

          The 1st Amendment “understands” just fine. You don’t understand and want a thought-police state.
