That isn't all it is though, it is promoting a terrible ideology and making light of genocide. It is a threat to the entire world and can't be allowed to proliferate. This is a British guy, the Nazis literally wreaked havoc bombing them, like there's still people alive who went through it, it isn't some joking thing.
Yeah and I am Czech Guy, we suffer greatly under Nazi Regime (Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia), but at least we killed Reinhard Heydrich, so at least something... And we don't have some shithead like Winston Churchill, so I am not sure what you are implying, it's not like UK is innocent (well in grand scheme of the history, UK is pretty shitty country). So not sure what you implying here...
M1chl thank you for taking your time responding to my late night rant. I get your point, I really do.
Well, I am glad we can agree on something. But I want to just pointed out, that not everyone living in USA and here is 15:19 aka 3:19pm. So I am not really ranting in the late night : )
It's not as if this phrasing were novel. Grossly offensive behaviour is routinely criminalised in many jurisdictions.
"Gas the Jews" is a phrase directly referring to genocide, so it's wrong to assume it's about hurting somebody's feelings. There are some ideas that are abhorrent, never again to be countenanced. Not because of somebody's feelings, but because we remember what happened last time such ideas became fashionable and hip to joke about.
Well I would agree with this point, if the intent of the video would be to actually "gas the jews". But as far as I am aware, he first first words was to "teach his dog, the least cute thing he can think off", which shows the intent of the video to be edgy as fuck, for sure, but I don't think that he done any hate crime. I think the words needs context and intent and I think that context and intent is overlooked in here.
A tattoo a failed Soviet state is more distasteful than mocking the death of 6 million Jews? Really?
Communism is very much alive and well in the world sadly and it killed far more people than Hitler could ever dream off (not one man necessarily, but whole regime all over the globe). But still as far as I know Stalin and Mao Zedong killed each more people than Hitler. Not specific group of people, but that does not make it any less horrible. And let say, should I pointed out, that it was
for me more distasteful, because my family suffered greatly under that regime. It's not like I am saying the Nazis were better, not at all... I am probably from one of those countries which suffered both regimes. Just Nazis were done pretty fast, but USSR lasted for a long time.
And again it's not like only Jews suffered casualties under Nazi regime, sure they are biggest single group, but the hatred went further:
