Where are you living, if you don't mind sharing? I don't know about any place where expressing eurosceptic views would get you called "far right", let alone a Nazi.

And I disagree. You take for granted all the good regulating and all the things enabled by the EU, and focus on the one bad regulation we're discussing, which is not even a law yet. I, personally, am not looking forward to the future without EU (I remember my country before it joined and the progress is immense).

"Progress", sure. What you actually mean is "we got a lot of free money to build things with". Its easy to like the EU if you are in one of those countries that gets way more out then you have to put in.

Try the largest German-speaking subreddit, for example.

I think elsewhere online this may happen.

Also, some public broadcasters use the "far right" word group suspiciously often, almost as if it was some kind of effort to softly suggest to people how not to vote, but I must be imagining things, because they would never do that:)

Yeah, thats the problem. "they would never do that" has been violated far too often by supposedly centered media outlets. During corona, our state contrtrolled media actually really said that citizens are not supposed to listen to any other media because everyone else is likely lying. And since it is blatantly obvious that center-left parties will get a haircut for what they did during corona, again, the state controlled media are now doing exactly what you describe, warning the citizens of the evil right parties. And I am forced to pay for this, 50 cent a day. This isn't democracy anymore, its blatant manipulation of public opinion.
