Germany generally has more members of the far right than than the UK and France, despite having laws against expressing these ideas.



Also these have been shown that they have a solid power block of around 40 % in society, the illusion of some outliers, that can be put back into the box wont take hold once more.

The outrage powering the likes of the AFD is partially due to hundreds robbed of their ability to articulate their opinions while being declared non existent or terrorists by media campaigns. The dschinn is out of the lamp and all of polishing and rubbing wont house him again.

All that remains is housing this political opinions in a party that slowly civilizes them - by taking them serious where they have a base and taking them apart, where science can come to the rescue. Until recently the left had for uncomfortable questions no decent answer except loud screams.

A recent article here on HN, which explained why cultures with entrenched polygamy are prone to more instability. Instead of taking this and running with it, trying to stabilize North africa and taking a teeth from the racists- the usual subjects where found and rallied against.

This sort of laws do not protect civilization, they hide a problem, and prevent its resolution in debate. Not accepting cultures who obviously are erroding democratic societys (like runaway exponential captialism or islam/ extremist christianity) has nothing to do with racism or foreignfear. Its valid critique- and a society should be allowed to demand the removal of commendments/indoctrinations of cultures who have such a history. The stomach can not be allowed to dissolve itself. To clarify, the member of the culture is still part of the society and citizen, in my eyes -unless he explicitly chooses his believe over his citizenship - and a "paradise" on earth exists. Then he/she/it is free to migrate to whatever statefull-dystopia or tax-free-heaven promises ascension.
