I think the count dankula (guy who taught his dog to do a Nazi salute) case in the UK is a pretty good example of this although on a lesser scale than terrorism charges The guy (a clown, not genuine problem afaict) makes bad joke, gov goes after him for being offensive, he's now radicalized against a state that has clearly abused him.

> he's now radicalized now?!?! Putting the cart before the horse... Nazis are a weird subject to joke about. If they are the butt of the joke - being made fun of for their ridiculousness - that's okay. Teaching a dog to make the nazi salute doesn't meet that threshold for me. To me, that's already radicalized behavior masked as "it's just a joke bro, don't get so worked up"... This is the kind of 'joke' that's only 'funny' to other nazi. Shoving nazism everywhere you can and laughing at other people's discomfort isn't the behavior of a comic: it's the behavior of a nazi.
