Free speech is not protection from people thinking you're an asshat.
Ivain
Freedom of speech is not freedom of consequences. It just means you can't be prosecuted for stating an opinion. Theres some limits even then
VeryCreativeName
The funny thing is in germany you can go to jail for certain statements
Ivain
Probably statements that deny established facts, and statements that are considered hate-speech. hatespeech is condeming a group of people
Ivain
usually an ethnic group, on biases based for the majority on them belonging to that group.

It would be different if you were to judge that group on a view or action that they as a group have taken.

I'm German and let me tell you, WW2 was a topic in pretty much every year and class after primary school.
Megarith
I'm sorry, but it's just going overboard. In school, we are being fed guilt and are told to feel guilt and never be proud again, or
Megarith
wave our nations' flag, or have anything but remorse. It went way too far to the point where I just stopped giving a shit.
Megarith
It happened, big whoop. Both Germany and Austria were absolutely annihilated both in terms of infrastructure and demography, so I'd say
Megarith
we've paid the price tenfold. What Höcke said wasn't that far fetched.
Megarith
Unfortunately, I didn't find the entire speech, because so many people are putting out the above story, but here's a link to what he said:
jimicus
Fun fact: The Allies documented what was found in liberating the concentration/extermination camps...
jimicus
This was used to show the Germans in no uncertain terms what their "dream" had done.
ArthurDentsannoyingalterego
They have a word for it in German, 'Vergangenheitsbewaltigung' or similar, meaning 'coming to terms with the past' that 1/2
ArthurDentsannoyingalterego
Pertains essentially only to the country's situation in coming to terms with the atrocities of the holocaust and how to cope as a nation.

SmolTenk
public opinion at the time, however today it would be easy to convince a court that games are art. But until someone actually challenges
SmolTenk
Actually that not true. Lots of the "censorship" (not all) isdue to a 1994 court ruling stating that games are not art. This mirrored the
SmolTenk
that old ruling (which litterally any game publisher could do) it will remain in effect.
IKnowYouHateMeYes
If it's easy then it would have been done already. Society's opinions matter greatly and I see a lot of Germans who seem to be 1/2

2/2 conditioned to instantly fear things like patriotism and a sense of pride one's country and its achievements.

Of course he was not, same as mine. They did not speak about remembering individual sacrifices. They want to be proud of war efforts again

just because someone was conscripted by the wehrmacht doesn´t make that soldier a bad person. So why not remember the sacrifice they made

They didn't talk about remembering. They want to be proud of it again

also Höcke said he doesnt want every german to feel accountable for the holocaust as far as i know.

They shouldn't. Very few people alone now hold any responsibility for the atrocities that occurred.
