#3 So JD Vance was right.

EC was rather critical of that speech; I would be curious about thoughts now, if that is even legal or wise.

#5 So it's OK for Muslim immigrants to commit acts of violence against their host but NOT OK for Germans to speak their minds about it. And it's OK for Hamas to terrorize Israelis but NOT OK for Israelis to defend themselves. And Germany must become a totalitarian police state because they're afraid of becoming Nazis. Gosh, that's a real predicament.

#6 CDU Interior Minister Reul said there needs to be a clear distinction between opinion and hate speech.

But it's all just a matter of who gets to make that distinction, isn't it?

#7 Reul is ingnoring or defying (West) German constitutional case law that has been developed since the 1950s.

With the exception of holocaust denial German free speech rights once arguably enjoyed stronger protection than Americans' free speech.

#10 European Conservative belongs to the Christian Social Union, Ebbuger Whuque4103, the Bavarian partner of Friedrich Merz’s Christian Democrat (CDU) idiots, as I understand it. My take is that the CSU are the sensible ones trying really hard to bring the rest of the country around.
