If you read my other reply you would answer yourself: "I think iconography shouldn't be banned"

 

No, I think it should be banned.

Can't agree with you there - there are a few problems with that argument... First of all, the line separating hate speech is blurred... Some people will consider pointing out facts that paint a select group of people in a negative way to be hate-speech... In fact, I'm sure some people would consider me posting that clip hate-speech :emma:
If you're outlawing hate speech, I think abuse of that law will shortly follow... 

Secondly, it could potentially skew data... Think about it, if you're opposing nazism, wouldn't you want to know how far reaching their rhetoric is... Banning it doesn't automatically change the mind of an actual nazi, it just silences them and drives them underground so you can't properly gage how wide-spread that frame of mind is and what your next action should be...

As unpleasant as it may seem, I think all types of speech should be allowed, and transparency should be encouraged... Rather than police speech, people should educate themselves and train themselves and others in debate because you shouldn't be afraid to engage in debate with your opposition... And you should come fully equipped... As if it would be so difficult to explain why being a nazi is a bad thing :laughga:

It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke!

Even if they were nazis, they aren't doing any harm. Just reminding people of harmful events. They're totally free to support whichever group and beliefs they want. 

Why would police arrest them but do nothing against officially admitted nazis...?

they are doing harm by trying to spread their horrific ideology. They are not free to support it, hence why its illegal in germany because it goes against human rights which modern Germany stand for. 

And not to mention that there are still people in Germany who are heavily traumatized by the Nazis actions.

Being pro-free-speech does not mean tolerating racism :saladga: 

You can think that free speech if a fundamental human right AND condemn racism and debate racists on their point of view at the same time... That's the whole point of free speech actually... You're not going to change someone's mind by silencing them, you are just going to exacerbate the problem... 

Honestly, I think people who say free speech shouldn't be allowed are just scared that their opposition will come better equipped with their arguments than them... If that's the case, it's on you and your lack of knowledge...

Actually banning certain types of speech goes against human rights because free speech is a human right...
