Imagine if half of liberal America was prosecuted for calling Trump “orange cheeto” or saying he has small hands. WTF is this even.

How does Monero particularly help American money launderers as opposed to money launderers in general? Also, very strange to go look through someone’s comment history so you can use that to make some unrelated remark…

I just did some quick research on Matrix and it is even worse than I thought LOL. It was literally developed by a company that was originally founded in Israel and suspected by two different non-allied governments of espionage for the Mossad. And that is just what I could find within a couple minutes on Wikipedia.

cash benefits money launderers as well. What kind of argument is this even? I guess the government should just be able to track all your transactions all the time? Reminder that the government that is in power at the time in a given country decides what is and isn’t “illegal”.

So just because people you don’t like express concern about something means that it automatically must be false? This type of “logic” is very dangerous. And prosecution clearly does happen a lot. Literally 10 cases a day in one German state according to the article and only 0.5 of those cases actually result in conviction, which means that clearly this is used to intimidate and punish people generally rather than a sincere attempt to enforce the law.

The article focuses on Lower Saxony, which is in West Germany. These cases are not about inciting violence or denying a genocide but about saying something about a politician that that person doesn’t like. Many American liberals would be prosecuted under these laws right now for the stuff that is said on e.g. Reddit, presumably BlueSky and Lemmy.world. Reminder that this sort of stuff also affects pro-Palestine activists and in fact from what I gather that is in fact the case in Germany today.

Switzerland is not in the EU.
