“PAnimus toward free speech isn’t a new thing in Germany, even post-twentieth-century Germany. But it seems that the censorship, aka hate-speech hatred, is getting more intense lately because of an election. One recent victim is a 64-year-old pensioner, Stefan Nieoff, who forwarded a ‘meme’ about Green Economy Minister Robert Habeck. Habeck wants to be chancellor. According to the ‘meme,’ Habeck is a ‘professional idiot’ (Schwachkopf Professional). But in consequence of Herr Nieoff’s reckless act of disseminating information of merely figurative accuracy, Bavarian police (a) raided the man’s home and (b) arrested him. Incidentally traumatizing his daughter, who has Down syndrome.” (11/26/24)
