> Because Europe is not US. You cant rail about others, speak hatefully about minorities, immigrants, less harass people who wear masks or other bullsh*t and expect the state not to drag you to court to persecute your ass.
All across Europe some parts of the press are happy to speak hatefully about minorities and immigrants.

I don’t think any of this stuff is prosecuted (or that it should be). At least the French and Spanish examples were widely condemned but I think it says a lot they were published in the first place.
- unity1001 5y agoEvery single reference you gave either reports outrage or investigations about such actions by any media outlet or persona. Whether any of those investigations or outrage will cause a public prosecutor to carry them into court, is another matter. That is, if a citizen or resident does not carry them to the court first. Barring those who issue apologies for their actions, which mostly happens. Such stuff should be prosecuted. The state of American society, the delirium that engulfed the segments who were allowed to keep living back in 150 years ago, actual fascists organizing openly with open statements about 'cleansing others' -> Such things show that if you let the extremists do whatever for 'freedom', you end up with a big pile of sh*t in your hands.
