    I’m not accusing the Swiss of having done this, but banning speech because the government has declared the content illegal is about as quintessentially fascist as possible. I’m sure you have at least one unpopular opinion you would be unhappy about going to prison for having.

      So France is fascist? Germany is fascist? The UK is fascist?

      Or did yous just learn a new word and now you just call everyone who disagrees with you a fascist?

      This racist cunt says that non-native Europeans should be forcibly removed back to their country of origin. I don’t want him spouting hate against my fellow humans, the government doesn’t want him spouting hate against my fellow humans

      If you agree he should be allowed to spew bile like the cunt he is, you can fuck off too

        The issue is the precedent. You agree with the government on this, but will you agree with how they use this power in future?

        Calling me stupid because you disagree with me while criticizing me for criticizing people I disagree with isn’t the flex you think it is. And yes, you are a fascist, tyrannical fuck who shouldn’t be allowed to make important decisions about governance.
