Comments by "Winston Smith" (@kryts27) on "We need to talk about FREE SPEECH IN GERMANY | Feli from Germany" video.

  1. Note, hate speech is not free speech. Hate speech uses themes of racism, sexism, discrimination of physical appearance of a person, gender choice and religious discrimination. Using these themes is hate speech. Political debates are not violations of free speech and an discussion of history where hate speech and capital punishment applied in that era is not hate speech either. Particularly if this is used for historical education. That is my interpretation anyway. Free speech is not completely free speech because of these ressonsble restrictions. Sueing for libel is different to hate speech although hate speech may incorporate it. This is deformation justice. Calling someone an idiot is a mild insult. This does not necessary involve hate speech. Cartoons etc, if not hate speech thematic, is political satire and should not be banned. Hate speech, as well as hate images and writing, is still hate speech. Political symbols of a totalitarian organisation, party or religion, is hate speech. Not just the Nazi party. Communist hammer and sickle (Communism is a totalitarian movement) is not explicit hate speech, but is in a grey area, whereas displaying a Nazi swastika is hate speech. Making these Communist symbols too prominent may infringe free speech.
