After American TV news magazine “60 Minutes” screened a special on German hate speech laws which featured police raids on citizens across the country a backlash was triggered that could causer a potential diplomatic fallout between the U.S. and Germany and certainly led to a meltdown on certain parts of social media
The 60 Minutes program, made by American news network CBS, prompted Elon Musk to respond to the shocking clips of police state tactics being used by the increasingly authoritarian, far left ruling coalition, writing: “Thank the Lord that America has freedom of speech.”

Despite widespread criticism of Germany’s slide towards becoming an authoritarian police
state, despite government claims that they are defending democracy, is little different from the Nazis in the 1930s, the police, legal authorities and the interior ministry show no signs
of eassing back with raids against individuals posting “hate speech,”
“insults,’ or “racist memes.”
Now German politicians are also jumping on the bandwagon after simply snivelling the usuak politically correct cliches whenever the topic of immigration was rased for years. With the AfD, party soaring in polls and the election a few days away, a top member
of the Free Democrats (FDP), the party which made the election necessary by resigning from the ruling coalition because of extremist policies demanded by their partners, Wolfgang Kubicki, stating on X: “Anyone
who can still sleep peacefully in the face of such images has not
understood the value of freedom of opinion for the democratic community.
Freedom of opinion is the basis of freedom in general. These searches
undermine confidence in the validity of the Basic Law. We will ensure
that the next Bundestag prevents such authoritarian excesses.”
However, the house raids may also result in diplomatic fallout between the U.S. and Germany.
“Insulting someone is not a crime, and criminalizing speech is going to put a real strain on European-US relationships. This is Orwellian, and everyone in Europe and the US must reject this lunacy,” wrote Vice President JD Vance.”
The 60 minutes special also features German prosecutors laughing over the house searches conducted in Germany, with one German X user, Marc A. Wilms, writing: “This shows how quickly we have landed in Orwellian conditions. By the way, these gentlemen are having a lot of fun with the fact that people are shocked when their mobile phones are taken away during a house search.

Despite criticism for Germany’s slide towards an authoritarian police

Now, German politicians are also
chiming in, with a top member of the Free Democrats (FDP), MP Wolfgang
Kubicki, stating on X: “Anyone who can still sleep peacefully in the

Musk has also issued more than one tweet in the wake of the CBS special.
He also reposted other segments of the 60 Minutes special, including a post from John LeFevre, where he wrote: “Calling a rapist is more offensive than being a rapist in Germany. And 60 Minutes is ok with this…”
The video also features German prosecutors who have a laugh over the house searches conducted in Germany, with one German X user, Marc A. Wilms, writing: “This shows how quickly we have landed in Orwellian conditions. By the way, these gentlemen are having a lot of fun with the fact that people are shocked when their mobile phones are taken away during a house search. ‘Even if they are not punished further, just taking it away is punishment in itself! Hehe!’ From a program that aired on US TV.”
One of the main points raised over and over again in the backlash against the authoritarian policy is whether an “insult” is a crime. In the show, German prosecutors tell CBS, without a hint of embarrassment that “insulting” a member of a protected minority or a politician is a crime, and even reposting an insult is a crime.

One of the main points is whether an “insult” is a crime. German prosecutors tell CBS that “insulting” someone or a politician is a crime, and even reposting an insult is a crime.
Notably, hundreds of people, if not thousands , have had their homes searched and their internet enabled devices seized, as well as being threatened with prosecution, for “insulting” politicians. Among the insults included calling Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock the “worst foreign minister.” In another case, a man had his home raided when he called Economics Minister Robert Habeck an “idiot.”
However, when those same insults and worse are directed at members of the centre - right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, surprise, surprise, it is not then a prosecutable offense .
Just a few months ago, for instance, a federal court in Cologne’s found that
extremist threats against the AfD constituted “freedom of expression.”
“Break
down their doors and gates, slap them in the face. Vomit in their
faces. I don’t give a sh*t,” said public figure Peter Fischer to German state television channel RTL.
Despite his comments being a blatant incitement to violence violence against the party and its supporters, the
court claimed the violent statements from Fischer, the former president
of the Eintracht Frankfurt football club, are protected speech under German law.
All we can say it is seems Naziism is back with a vengange in Germany. Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles and all that.
