You'll be arrested next, when it turns out the people arrested were jewish so your comment counts as anti-semitism.

You have clearly no Idea what is going on.

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me

First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist

"they" in this poem is referring to anti-semites, specifically Nazis. Germany is doing the right thing by censoring and excluding anti-semites from society, to ensure that what this poem describes will never happen again.

Are you drunk? You are now at the Point of negative knowledge about what's going on! You are defending People who discriminate and harm others.

You can defend someone and hate them symultaniously its not mutualy exclusive. Ohh shit did i just say i hated nazis is that hate speach am i going to be arrested? Or is it ok to practice hate speach against nazis cos that sounds a lot like discrimination to me.

I have zero idea what your angle is, but for the benefit of others...

Nazi-ism is a chosen belief system with a core belief in depriving other groups of basic human rights. The depriving other people of basic human rights is the key part.

Hate speech is directed towards people with attributes that they cannot change or religion. Religion gets added in there because changing religion is not a simple thing, and in major religions doesn't hurt people. (Don't start citing religious terrorists - that is fundamentalism within a religion and not a commonly shared belief among all followers.

So hating on nazis is cool.

Yes it is okay to hate and arrest Nazis.

And you know what? Ther German Law agrees with me so get bent and suck a Lemon.

Using Niemoller to support antisemitism is peak 2016 "triggered, lib?" bullshit. Fuck off with that. The intolerant don't deserve tolerance. If you try to deny someone their humanity, yours is forfeit.

Does that mean no one should be prosecuted for their actions?

First they came for the antisemites and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't one of them... /s
