Comment on German police probe student poster slur against Merzparent

You're confusing "freedom and speech" and democracy. They're not the same. You cannot even give someone the middle finger in Germany.

showing the middle finger (Stinkefinger) is illegal in Germany and considered a criminal offense under Section 185 of the Criminal Code (StGB). Known as an insult (Beleidigung), this gesture can lead to fines, or in severe cases, up to a year in prison.
