One of the reasons I love that I'm in Germany rn. You don't get people casually joking about Nazis then laughing it off like it's nothing. It is literally against the law, and people treat that topic with actual respect.
Except... you do, and it's apparently gotten very bad in places. Florida level bad.

Jesus fucking Christ. I'd say that's worse than Florida in some ways. There was an incident where 50 teenagers went looking for black people to kill!? That's straight up klan behavior! What the actual fuck!?
That's right, it depends on the place. Very much boils down to rural vs. urban (as in so many countries) but it's also a bit worse in Eastern Germany.
However the comment above is not wrong, in that there are definitive limits to free speech in German law so that you have more legal levers against nazis before they turn to violence.
