Getting Tired of Playing the Progressive 'Guess Who Is the 'Victim' Here' Game

Hot Air 

"There are also the same sort of hate speech laws protecting everyone but the native Germans living there. Immigrants, their crimes, or their extortionate cost to German society can't be spoken against, illegal or otherwise. Certainly, their religion is off-limits." . . . 


"It doesn't matter if you're talking New York City or the European Union. So many formerly accepted social norms, what were once recognized as civilized behaviors or anticipated and correct outcomes, have been turned on their head by progressive, Woke ideology that it's hard to know which end is up.

"Can I visit Ebola in England safely? That's not a rhetorical question. I've got a bit of an online presence, and I've been vocal in my condemnation of the authoritarian direction the UK government has taken.

"That's a no-no as far as those autocrats are concerned. They reserve the right not only to hound and imprison their own citizens, which they do routinely, but also to take close looks at the opinions expressed by arriving visitors.

"I'd rather not get turned around at Heathrow, but who would have ever thought such a thing could be a possibility to begin with?

"Such is the world we live in now, thanks to 'progressives.'

"In Germany, the madness is pervasive, and 'democracy' is a laughable construct. Sure, you can belong to a political party, but if that party doesn't pass a smell test and, God forbid, becomes too popular, well, the powers that be will work to ban it entirely. If they can dream and debunk you for being a 'right-wing extremist' at the same time, fantastic. One less populist they have to worry about." . . .

. . ."The Stürzenberg case shows how dangerous, intimidating and anti-democratic Germany’s laws against incitement to hatred and hate speech are. It would be difficult to find a country in Western Europe that restricts free speech as radically as Germany does – especially when it comes to criticising Islam. Indeed, the German elites regard criticism of Islam as an act of right-wing extremism that needs to be censored." . . .

How odd that Hitler and his Nazis preferred Muslims as allies because they hated Jews as much as the Nazis did. Yet how many of our society's youth attack Jews on behalf of Hamas while calling them, wait for it...NAZIS. Then express regret that the real Nazis "didn't finish the job!".
