    Both ways have their disadvantages I guess. In Germany putting a (historically accurate) Swastika on a model plane like a JU-87 or so can get you into legal problems already, and the extreme right-wing people love to feel as victims of censorship and use that narrative to show how our government "brainwashes the people and censors everything", "no real free speech means no democracy" and such things. Even many left-wing people agree and say: A properly working democracy has to be able to cope with such extremists even when they offend. As long as it is "only speech". Silencing them doesn't make them go away.
    It is a slippery slope. Most people agree with the Swastika and Hitler-Salute ban but the same laws could be easily extended to cover many other things and indeed be a problematic censorship like we know it from other countries.

    Honesty i wpuld just be happy if the hate groups would just be labelle as domestic terrorist. Because that is what they do they terrorised and killed many people and to believe it still not happening is just ignorant but lets just get back to the funny ths why we are here... e0847241bb11e754df54b18ee7ca3720.jpg

    It part of the worlds history and although we can't undo the terrible things that have happened in the past we can all work together and create a beautiful future, it's a shame the world leaders don't all see it that way.

    Maybe I don't get the joke but... There is no such species as far as I know, that's an oversize model. IIRC the biggest of those can occasionally be around 4 feet, and most are not more than the size of a fist.

    The big one looks like this though:

    The scary ones like the one pictured with the HUGE teeth relative to their bodies are all tiny.

    What's really disgusting/fascinating about that species is that the (much smaller) males do something called sexual parasitism.
    It is.... weird. Here is an article explaining it but basically the male connects to the female and they become...attached. They have body parts growing into each other and afterwards they even share the female's circulatory system.
