Ironically, by doing that this man has imitated a very different characteristic of Hitler above nazism: He is crazy :haha:

:nope: :nope: :nope:

Cultural and genetic supremacism as well as racism are inherent parts of Nazism, also, in order to establish the desired society and state that Nazism wants, the established democratic order that is defined and protected in our constitution in Germany and throughout the western world must be destroyed - you cannot realise Nazism within the frame of our constitution, thats why it was written the way it is: to never let come Nazism to power and infleunce again after the disaster it has brought over the world, and Germany. This overthrowing of constitutional order as well as a racism that agrees to not only discriminate but even drive away and kill certain other ethnicities or use them in a function of subordinate slaves, is what makes Nazism unacceptable, and has caused horror and terror in ammounts only rarely to be seen in history.

Either you understand this, or you don't, but I certainly do not endlessly discuss with somebody who is trying to establish a free room where Nazism can manouver and it's vitriolic mind seed can grow and blossom, over naive claims that it is all not so wild at all and just wants some foreigners out. Either you have a Nazi's agenda, or you simply have a far from complete understanding of what Nazism is, and then you better get some education about it, about fascism, and about the barbaric history of the third Reich, before making it appearing relatively harmless in a public discussion.

I save myself from dealing with the rest of that drivel of yours. For the time beeing, stay away from me. I neither like Nazis, nor people giving it any form of support or legitimation.

Well I'll tell you what Kissaki. If and when the nazis ever stop advocating these things then maybe, maybe, i'll accept their continued existence in human society. Until then I say we aggressively pursue and eradicate them wherever they surface.

When August gets something right, he gets it right.

Wow, my post just went right over your head, didn't it? I never said the realisation of Nazi society was anything near OK, in fact I said the exact opposite: did you not see my feudalism example?

If an idea is bad, it can be defeated with reason. And nazi ideology can most certainly be defeated by reason. Nazi ideology can never succeed in a society that doesn't share its irrational fears.

What has that got to do with me? Talk about being paranoid: anyone who doesn't hate what I hate to the same extent that I hate, is one of them!!!. Yes, three exclamation points. Because that's exactly what you sound like.

Your whole argument is based on the slippery slope. If it's a fallacy then so is your comparison of the Democrats and nazis or disallowing nazi propaganda leading to loosing the right of free speech.

If you think I was COMPARING Democrats with Nazies, you didn't read my post. I made a parallell example, for a completely unrelated group, in order to show how silly the reasoning was, blaming people today for whatever anyone did in the past, no matter how much or how little they prescribed to the same ideas.

Anyway, the slippery slope fallacy is this: "If we allow A, then B will follow". For example, many fundamentalist Christians say that if we allow homosexuality, then animal sex and paedophilia is next.

It is not a slippery slope fallacy, however, to point out that the law must be equal for all. If we make special provisions for certain groups, which groups are singled out and by what justification?

Groups which have shown by their actions what they are capabile of and those who continue to espouse similar "final solutions". By your reasoning enemy soldiers (which are exactly what neo nazi groups are) who have not yet killed should be immune from attack. Well sorry the world just does not operate that way and thank God for it. The enemy is the enemy. Pretending they are not is the only real fallacy here.

August 07-07-10 02:27 PM

Oh and my solution for the nazis is completely fair and equal. Every one of them should be eliminated. There is no such thing as a good nazi.

and now Ladies and Gentleman: we have a winner in Godwin's Law! Shall the calling each other "Nazi" begin?
*my right arm raises because as a German I cannot stop it*
From your signature I see that you are an US army veteran, does this make you a Nazi too? Regarding that the Nazi-US army together with other Nazi armys and Nazi-resistance fighters suppressed the poor Nazis?
</polemic mode off>

First of all: The guy, who had the Hitler-ringtone on his cell, will probably get not more than a fine, no jail time, no star on his jacket, no torture, no extermination, see the difference?
Second: I think the memory of Nazism in Germany is quite alive and healthy. You can inform yourself going to museums, memorial sites, talking to people who actually lived in this time.
Third: You can march and hail all you want in your private home in Germany, no one kicks your door in, no Gestapo takes you away - if you do it outside is a different story
Fourth: I'm all against censorship, we have ridiculous censorship laws here regarding nazi symbols and propaganda. You don't become a Nazi from looking at a swastika or reading a book. I even think the literary masterpiece "Mein Kampf" should be allowed here, prohibition makes it only interesting and the pro-Nazis can whine: "We are so suppressed!" However showing Nazi symbolism in the public is a kick into the face of all victims of fascist crimes and their families which we, believe it or not, have here in this Nazi country.
Fifth: give Nazis a place to live! Let them have their own land, maybe give them a hellhole like Leverkusen (ugliest town in Germany) - or whatever pice of land you can share. They can march all day or just sit around and hate. The problem is: they don't stop there. After getting bored with themselfes they like to expand and look for some "Lebensraum", or just beat down the next un-aryan person around them. We had this little experiment here, that they had their country, the result is well known.

I may disagree with Skybird in some matters, but he brought it exactly to the point: if you give the enemys of free speech the freedom to abolish it, they will try do so

so are we talking just about, free speech in any kind,so once again,this is a part in a composition government,there all have allegiance for human right!

Godwin's Law really isn't much more than a humorous internet "law" pertaining to arguments and debates, to which my point was regarding neither.

We're not discussing punishments. We're discussing censorship. And there is indeed vagrant censorship in Germany, especially towards the issue of National Socialism and the government under the NSDAP, which is what's so humorous about it all.

But we both know that the people and indeed government would like to forget it... exactly why they still use these denazification laws that have been around since the late 1940s (the Strafgesetzbuch's Article 86).

http://www.iuscomp.org/gla/statutes/StGB.htm#86a

(1) Whoever:

. . . .

2. produces, stocks, imports or exports objects which depict or contain such symbols for distribution or use domestically or abroad, in the manner indicated in number 1, shall be punished with imprisonment for not more than three years or a fine.

(2) Symbols, within the meaning of subsection (1), shall be, in particular, flags, insignia, uniforms, slogans and forms of greeting.

This is exactly why I cannot own or play or sell a game in Germany with one swastika in it, make or own or sell a model of the KMS Bismarck (made from scratch) as she was when she sank (because, oh my god, it had swastikas painted on it!), etc. in the privacy and comfort of my own home. I remember the fiasco they had about Valkyrie (not the part about Tom Cruise playing Stauffenberg) because of the scene with the dozens of swastika flags flying as the Berlin reserves storm the Army Ministry building.

And I also know that as far as the web is concerned, they censor videos and images you can view on places like YouTube, websites you can access, etc. in the privacy of your own home because I had a friend on YouTube who lives in Hesse, Germany and was making videos about both World War I and World War II, and he had the government complain to him and make him take down one of his videos that had the Horst Wessel Song played on it. He told me that, asides from this incident, he couldn't listen to the DJ Himmler remixes of speeches given by various German figures (not just Hitler or the Nazis, but also Kaiser Wilhelm II, Field Marshal von Hindenburg, and a total remix of Der Koniggratzer. I guess they were figuring all this stuff out and able to block these videos because of his IP address.

Quite right.

Yes, not only on the basis of it being an important literary work, but because censorship is something Western nations are supposed to be against.

I whine about it just because it's stupid censorship. I mean, when I can be fined or imprisoned for having a copy of a video game that shows a swastika in it, you know there's something very, very wrong with the government when it does nothing to abolish this ridiculous law that was created clear back in the 1940s after World War II ended as part of the denazification program of Germany.

But how far does this extend? How far should it extend? I mean, why are model ships and planes that have swastikas on them equated to being no better than a full-sized Nazi flag being used as a public political statement, and therein banned? Even if it's just a flag on them, smaller than a penny? Why is it that swastikas in World War II-themed video games and films are banned or receive a lot of controversy as to their legality? Why do you even have laws governing this nonsense anymore? I mean it's 2010, not post-war Europe in 1945!

If the neo-Nazis in Germany really are that serious of a problem today as you make them out to be, and really do have that much momentum, then the denazifcation laws you're using that prohibits swastikas from appearing in video games and on models and on replicas and whatnot and censor videos containing images of the NSDAP movement, etc. are not working and have no purpose.

I don't know if you're aware of this or not... but it's 2010, not the 1930s or 1940s. Western nations are supposed to be against censorship, Nazism is not a real threat, the war's over, Hitler's dead, and that's that. On that note, if the neo-Nazis really are this big of a threat to your way of life and have a serious chance of gaining control of the government as they did previously (which, for the record, anybody who reads the news knows they aren't and don't have a chance of gaining control), your laws failed to stop them from resurfacing, and you should anticipate Germany to be viewed as the sick man of Europe once again.

Yet we in the United States get around just fine. Yeah we have the occasional controversy pop up, mostly about the ultra-nationalists here or something to do with the Confederate States of America, but we still have free speech and they haven't gotten in control yet. Not the KKK, not the neo-Nazis, not the White Nationalists over at Stormfront, the South has NOT in fact risen again, and there's nothing going to change that. All you do when you try to suppress them is give them more momentum to work with, by making it seem like they have a legitimate reason to be pissed off.
