This happened a couple days ago, and has also been reported by other major publications like Fox and Reuters.

These raids are led by Germany because of laws passed in 2018. Though they also occurred in EU countries like Italy and France, and even non-EU ones like Norway and the UK.

The suspects are said to have expressed “racist” and “xenophobic” sentiments on the internet, while one is accused of “insulting a politician.” According to Reuters, the unnamed politician is a woman who has been insulted online.

A major one that gets pointed out. But I also want to add how messed up it is to arrest someone even if they were "racist" and "xenophobic". And I do mean actually those things, not what minor thing upsets SJWs or far-leftists. Free speech is dead if one is not willing to protect all speech or expression, and I fear that's the direction we're heading to in the US.

But in all seriousness this is awful and disgusting and its used to arrest and silence anyone that goes against their narrative.

and two who are not members of the EU, the UK

We fucking wish.

But the current state in the US shows that Western civilisation has fallen. Mass unchecked immigration, destroying our economies over the flu, the young brainwashed into campaigning for their own slavery and death, and any veil of democracy we had is gone. Better start speaking Chinese and learning how to kiss ass.

a balancing act between preventing hate speech and allowing free speech

You can't have free speech but also arrest people for saying mean things. You either have free speech or you don't.

You can't have free speech but also arrest people for saying mean things.

So I was telling my friend that we have as much free speech in the EU as America. To prove it I walked to a street by the White House and yelled "FUCK TRUMP! DOWN WITH AMERICA!" and I wasn't arrested. Then we went to Berlin and I walked to a street by the Chancellery and yelled "FUCK TRUMP! DOWN WITH AMERICA!" and I wasn't arrested either.

 

(Yes, I just repurposed an old Cold War joke.)

You have free speech as long as you say speech that is accepted. What is worst is that we often put our thoughts in to written form on this platforms so it crosses freedom of speech to freedom of thought.

No it doesn't, it doesn't cross over anything...do you not think about the things you say? Just strikes me you've not thought that through probably.

Have you put the appropriate amount of thought in your speech today, citizen?

A bunch of Germans busting down doors and arresting people over wrong think. Huh, this seems oddly familiar.

Western Europe is way gone. The obvious multicultural and multiracial societies are not working, full of economic problems, crime, public health, etc, etc, so now they are killing the messenger.

Am I the only one surprised that Italy and the Czech Republic are on that list? I thought they were based.

Lets talk about Europe, the beacon of democracy.

Europeans vote for local parties, there are not European level parties with clear platforms, there is no EU party X that want to replace you all with immigrants party. Each country has a number of seats on the European Parliament, the small country level parties once elected combine to make pseudo larger parties but in fact they are not centralized parties. The Parliament is THE ONLY thing euro-cucks can vote for - although they have no idea what they vote for anyway since is way to fractured to vote for anything resembling a direction for the EU.

Council of the European Union and the European Commission are the other parts of the European Union legislative. Neither of this are elected. The European Commission is responsible for proposing legislation and implementing decisions. Once the Commission makes a law it sends it to the Council and Parliament, the parliament is going to amend it if they want to and then it goes to the Council for approval.

Why Am i talking about Euro-cucks, well if you are against hate speech at an Europe level you are fucked. You can't elect a Donald Trump to fuck them over, there is no party for you to vote to be against hate speech laws, affirmative action, immigration laws etc. cause all you vote is for the idiots that say yes yes while they cash in their big government checks while others create, pass and implement laws. So if anyone ever claims that Europe is a beacon of freedom they are morons, it is one of the least transparent and easily abused way of government. Perfect to pass laws without citizens getting in their way.
