Germany aka Krautland

Was pretty lulzy last time they were in the government and put "Lets lower the sales tax for our benevolent donors in the hotel industry" as the first order of business.

(According to Burger leftist logic this would've been 100% halal because the FDP was run by a homo at that time.)

Apparently the east german flag loser deleted his twitter account. I'm guessing this is what his other one got locked up for.

Why is he in a commutter train in the first place if he's such a doomer?

Gotta get to the gay club somehow.

Germany has declared a new gay law: burning the EU flag or the flag of another country is a hate crime punishable by up to three years in prison.

Burning EU and other flags can now bring German jail term

Germany has made public burning of the EU flag or that of another country punishable by up to three years in jail, classing it as a hate crime.

The vote in the Bundestag (parliament) on Thursday makes defiling foreign flags equal to the crime of defiling the German flag.

The same applies for the EU anthem, Beethoven's Ode to Joy theme.

The move followed Social Democrat (SPD) complaints about protesters' burning of the Israeli flag in Berlin in 2017.

Justice Minister Christine Lambrecht, a member of the centre-left SPD, said "burning flags publicly has nothing to do with peaceful protests". She said it stoked up "hatred, anger and aggression", and hurt many people's feelings.

The new law also applies to acts of defilement besides burning, such as publicly ripping a flag up. Public display of the Nazi swastika and other Nazi symbols is already banned in Germany.

The far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has condemned the new law as "excessive interference in free speech and artistic expression".

The act of defiling the Union Flag in the UK is not a crime, but France has made desecration of the tricolour punishable by a fine of up to €7,500 (£6,600; $8,000) or six months in jail.

Spain, Italy and Greece also have laws banning desecration of the national flag.

Flag burning has always been illegal here. Typical leftist move of making something that's already illegal extra illegal. Just like when the green party three or so years ago suggested banning fully automatic rifles, not knowing they already are.

I know that burning national flags was already illegal in Germany, but for my understanding, the EU flag was now added to the list of protected flags.

I didn't even know it wasn't before. What's funny about this is how absolutely assblasted they must've been about some protestors doing it. It's not like seeing people burn EU flags was a super common sight.
This is just some bullshit to have an excuse for throwing non-marxist protestors in jail for something.

[VoiceOfReasonPast]

You usually don't see a lot of flag burning here outside of the traditional Marches of Peace where the People of Peace wish for the total destruction of Israel.

[Kugelfisch]

Are those still a thing? I don't even know why one would protest. Go putsch or go home.
