God i wish hate speech ad racism was a crime in the usa...the kkk/alt right or what ever name they try to go by are simply domestic terrorists but fly by with perversion of the 1st amendment...
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.
