A new insane German speech crime investigation just dropped.
On 29 September of this year, a German man of libertarian persuasion known only by the pseudonym Damian N. tweeted the following:
No, anyone who is financed by the state pays no net taxes; they live off taxes: Every civil servant, every politician, every employee in a state-owned enterprise, everyone who is subsidized and financed by the state. Not a single parasite pays any net taxes.
You can find the tweet here; as I write this, it has a grand total of 402 views and ten likes.
No matter: Yesterday morning, police acting on behalf of the Ulm public prosecutor’s office raided Damian’s home. He is suspected of the crime of inciting hatred (in violation of Section 130 of the German Criminal Code) for his rough remark about government “parasites.”
