    There're at least 10 things in this interview for which he would get imprisoned for in Germany and I bet half of America would have a problem with it cause some stupid "free speach" bs

    I think free speech should be protected even hate speech but ''We will f---ing k--- these people if we have to'' isn't just hate speech its threats. If he was just like ''I don't like black people'' I would be like alright you do you you dumbass but he's literally threatening to k--- people

    yeah that's what I'm talking about

    edit: but I disagree that hate-speech should be protected
    "I don't like black people" is free speech but
    "black people aren't worth s---" is hate-speech and f--- that

    nah if you think black people are worthless or white people are the devil are gays are digusting, that's your horribly ignorant opinion, as long as you don't want to massacre the gays I'm fine with you posting your opinions on some reddit thread, my issue is with harassment/advocating violence. As long as what you're doing doesn't directly negatively affect anyone but yourself I don't see a problem with it. In 200 years I don't believe racism/homophobia will be very present

    I hope so, it's a matter of education I think. I agree to a certain degree
    I feel where you're coming from.
    My point is just, we know where this thinking leads to. It happened a hundred times in history, so why ignore it and let them do the same mistake again and again.
    I think a middle way should be found but on the other hand, different countries have different problems. I won't speak too heavy on what's the right thing to do in America but I'm very concerned
    Generalization, supremiscism, racism, this s--- can only be eliminated very slowly

    It's so confusing to me how someone can be racist, you have to be a very illogical person to believe the color of someones skin or their sexual orientation makes them less of a human.

    Well, hate speech does have limitations even in the US. If your speech is inciting violent, you can get prosecuted. Supreme Court has mainted that throughout history. For the most part, government should stay away from people's speech though, I agree.

    We (the US and its allies) fought nazism decades ago and a lot of good people died to do so. I don't know why it's celebrated now.
