No, what happened to the Jews in ww2 was sad and tragic by all means, and I believe it happened. 

But I won’t sit here criticizing dictatorships countries law when this is basically the same mentality but different conversation.  

And if you believe jailing this old woman is right then that conflicts with “liberal” ideology and you’re a hypocrite. Period. 

1996 actually.

The world isn't as black and white as you'd like to think it is bud

Germany is a liberal country with lots of freedom, and by and large it has freedom of speech 

But when you have a population that committed genocide two generations ago, you have to take drastic measures to ensure that doesn't happen again and to change the culture

That involves cracking down on people who are propagating lies to try to start another holocaust, because that's what she's doing. It isn't her "belief", it is pro-Nazi propaganda. 

Germany cracking down on pro-Nazi propaganda isn't entirely illiberal tbh...

ITT: Leftists defending Jews when literally any other time they bitch about Israel

Because you can't be pro-Jewish and also criticize a government of a country that happens to me majority Jewish? :huh:

How is that logical whatsoever? 

Not to mention "leftists" (who tf are you even talking about? American leftists? German leftists? Lowercase "l" liberals? please clarify your bull) don't all bitch about Israel - not even the majority.

Pro-Nazi propoganda should be a crime in Germany unless you want to see the rise of another Hitler

In Germany, specifically? Is there something special about Germans? Holocaust denial isn't a crime in the British Commonwealth and we do okay.

I think she knows what she’s getting herself into and she’s doing it willingly. True freedom of speech doesn’t exist and I think she’s aware of that. At least based on her picture in court. 

I think despite her ridiculous beliefs, it’s noble of her to stand up for what she believes despite her age and the consequences that this entails.

So in a way, maybe it’s better for her to be a martyr in her mind and face punishment, instead of betraying her beliefs.

Lmao are the mods just gonna allow casual Nazi sympathy on this website :sharon:

Yeah you bet your sweet a*s there's something unique about Germany - it still has a f*ck load on Nazis left!

The UK doesn't have a major Nazi political party, nor did they allow Nazism go rise to power and kill millions of innocent people and 6 million Jews and plunge the world into the deadliest, darkest war in history. Germany did. That's why Germany has to crack down on pro-Nazi propaganda because that's how Hitler and the Nazi party rose to power in the first place.

Never again. 

What don't you understand? How could you say pro-Nazi propaganda should be legal? It does measurable harm. This woman was a Nazi and worked for the regime. She's trying to do it again.

I just happen to value freedom of speech :nails: and not that watered-down continental version.

There is no sympathy on my part towards anyone. Being able to find qualities in bad people doesn't equate to sympathy. Surrender, for example, is a noble action. If the most evil person in the world realizes the atrocities of their actions and decides to surrender, then this is a Noble action. It doesn't mean sympathizing with them. It has nothing to do with what I think of their past actions. Seeing the mistake of your ways and having the strength to own up to it is Noble, regardless of whether you're evil or not. The same happens with standing by what you believe in. She's wrong, she has dangerous beliefs, and she should be punished for her behavior, but it doesn't take away the fact that it's very noble of her to stand up for what she believes in, regardless of the consequences.

I understand GGD is not the place to have these conversations, though. People don't really understand most of what they read, it's just not interesting to talk about these things.

Oh, I'm just visiting-

There will always be people offended by all kind of things and preventing that by jailing people isn’t the way; and **** what she believes, it’s well known and established that the holocaust happened, and if you have proven facts on your side there’s nothing she can say or do to disapprove this conversation. 

I love how you try your best to undermine one of the most heinous acts of history. Just stop already.

Haroon is coming to kill me D:
