Except for the fact that nothing like this happens in Nineteen Eighty-Four, and that society actually encourages sweeping slurs and expressions of hatred.
Did you miss the part about the suspects planning to rape women or sharing videos of torturing them?
I just read that saying or posting 'fuck feminism' means you can get arrested. Prove me wrong.
How am I supposed to disprove something that's made up? Prove unicorns aren't secretly controlling the British Crown.
Next you're going to be upset that people in Germany aren't legally allowed to raise their arms while yelling "Heil Hitler!"
You want to stop bad shit from happening in society. You don't do it with laws, all they do is delay the inevitable. Societies and social norms rise and fall on momentum. It's not random German incels and MRAs that are the problem in Germany right now. It's the rising AFD because the German Soc Dems suck, and the Christan Democrats suck. Both banned nuclear power, and both backed reductions in spending during a recession which is only something an economic lunatic would do, and both have trashed their country's foreign policy so that their country is known as the doormat of Europe. Germany is currently in a recession right now, all they had to do was ask for a better deal on US natural gas in exchange for something else like tariffs on BYD cars, and or the Taurus missile to Ukraine, Germany's former defense minister is an idiot who let the than rusting German Euro Typhoons break down to where less than half the fleet doesn't work. They wasted their peace dividend. What did spending less on arms get them, their car business sucks thanks to China, they have no tech sector, and they let the Americans beat them to Machine learning.
Exceptions, and loopholes. If you want to stop Nazis you don't do it with laws, you do it with good governance, and a civically minded citizenry. It's hard it's not easy there are no shortcuts, many major Western countries are on the path to it with France to Le Pen, Germany to the AFD, the US to Trump, and Italy already there, Japan's one-party state in almost all elections, Canada isn't falling to fascism but I woudln't be surprised if they do 5 to ten years down the line given the poor economic performance.
You do realize the reason many actual nazi sympathizers post-WW2 could remain active in the government BECAUSE of "civically minded citizenry", right?
You don't think someone can interpret "fuck feminism" as an example of " sweeping slurs against women "? I always find it interesting how some folks will either read these things in the broadest way possible or extremely narrowly depending on what best serves them.
