In Germany, sweeping slurs against women can be punishable as incitement to hatred.
Communications that are considered illegal include posts in which women are slandered and insulted in a sexualized manner, or publicly encouraged to send nude photos. The authorities also flagged posts that advocated rape or sexual assault or that distributed videos of torture or killing.
The raids concentrated on suspects who had set their sights on well-known women like female politicians
There’s a gap between what’s good for a country and what Western countries claim is good for a country. I don’t think OP was making a claim either way, just that there’s clearly a gap and Germany is a hypocrite.
Right… But western countries tend to be more liberal with protecting hate speech. Their usual claim for what’s good for the country is to allow reactionary speech to dominate the public forum.
Limiting hate speech and reactionary calls to violence isn’t exactly what the west is known for. So they are progressing the status quo towards collectivism and away from libertarian values.
How is this bad under the scope of leftism?
Also, even if you don’t think op was making a statement, there are plenty of people here echoing libertarian ideology. Seems strange that the only time people here fear the consolidation of state power is when it is aimed at misogyny.
