Just because some subset of the population doesn't have a point, that doesn't mean they should be stopped from saying whatever they want.
Maybe, but that's completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand.
Germany have similar laws but more restrictive, there is always ppl that support fascist regimes, like you with this comment.
