CENSORSHIP IN EUROPE?

Why does it seem to me, an average burger, that European countries have an obsession with controlling discourse and limiting free speech? EU citizens redpill me on your fear of the opinions of those you disagree with

This is what happens when citizens aren't allowed to own guns. The people encroaches on the rights of its citizens.

Well, our media is in PC overdrive. Example: I learned about migrant riots all over Europe from Sargon Of Akkad. There is absolutely no coverage of those in the mainstream media. Over here in Germany we still have publicly funded federal media channels. Those created a new initiative calles "funk" whose sole purpose is to spread PC propaganda to young people while completely denying the truth. There's a reason that our "alt-right" parties are blaming the media to spread government-controlled fake news -> it's true.

So is the EU a cultural backwater at this point or what? Are only your NEETs aware of the goings-on in the wider world? From a US perspective it seems like EU is a bleak wasteland like middle US but with language barriers preventing high-level discourse and rapefugees

^ Very, very true. Even Easter European EU member states rarely hear about migrant shenanigans, and we are somewhat less tolerant of such behaviour. And it helps the Eurocrats' cause that schools are only too happy to indoctrinate the young, along with the church and the media.

To be a cultural backwater we would need to have kept some of our culture. In Europe everything that has to do with traditions and country-specific culture is regarded as "völkisch" and thereby neo-nazi material.

There is a lot of discourse but none of it is high level and based on reality at the same time. Our politicians and political "experts" argue solely on the basis of ideology. Even after Cologne and five islamic terror attacks in 2016 high ranking politicians stepped in front of the camera and claimed that migrants are no more criminal than Germans. Our entire political establishment and the mainstream media are basically SJWs.

To me it sounds like we need to get all of your countries sucking on the English linguasphere tit to free up some of the dialogue through the internet. Obvo not a perfect fix though because countries like Germany are censoring the internet as well

It's not as if youngesters don't know English. Most do. However, no one here really trusts anyone. So, as far as I can tell, it's more an issue on pushing these countries to despise the EU more than they do each other.

And there is the senior citizens issue. They don't speak English. And none are willing to learn.

Depends on where you live senpai, most people openly support a fascist ideology and nobody cares. We can also Heil Hitler and do whatever without any consequences.

What is it like to live in a country that doesn't have an equivalent to the US's 1st Amendment (Free speech) ? I cannot imagine the feeling of being afraid to express my thoughts on a topic.

>European countries have an obsession with controlling discourse and limiting free speech?
not "European" but certain countries do

Countries with imperialistic ambitions generally want the population to bow down before the authority of the emperor and to be disciplined. This requires also imposing limits on what one can say. France, Germany and Sweden are such examples

Dorothys titties look good.

SWEDEN YES

It sucks. At university I avoid political topics because I know that everyone I know there has that SJW mentality. If you vent your thoughts on campus you won't have a fun time studying. We have to pay a small fine each semester (about 250€) to the student's parliament. That money usually goes into student organizations but a part of it is seriously donated to the goddamn Antifa. If anyone speaks up against that, he's a nazi.

When I was in Germany, I disappointed to see even more search results take off of google. At least the website told me it did.

Plus did you guys know they censor the fuck out of there games?

The establishment uses the threat of radical islam to justify removing all voices of opposition

The threat of radical islam was created by their own hand though years of terrible foreign policy and open boarders

Now its the fastest growing ideology on the planet and creating a widening divide in society due to its incompatibility with the west

I can only see a large conflict in europe within the next 20 years.

Our countries weren't founded on freedom. Authoritarianism was always a part of europe. Now it's just communist authoritarianism

The police here regularly polices the internet and journalists, cartoonists, politicians etc. As an user I don't have to worry however. Furthermore we have an extremely intolerant culture of right wing ideas. Try getting a good job as a pvv member

we have free speech,
you can say what you like as long as you dont advocate violence towards people
you can say what you like at your job but that doesnt mean they have to employ you, that their right.
the only people complaining are people who talk of violence or hatred of people, basically horrible cunts.
things are pretty good here thanks

Yes but the us don't put politicians on trial do they.
Freedom is not defined by gimmedats and goverments forcing companies to hire people

Politicians are not above the law dipshit

in luxembourg you get prison time for stating a right wing opinion. some even without probation

Yes the entire point is that we have laws policing our speech. the u.s. don't

>you can say what you like as long as you dont advocate violence towards people

That seems to be the one of two exceptions to the first amendment in the USA, the other is libel and slander, but that is only enforced when it's conveinant.

I remeber in my high school government class, where there was this supreme court case where this KKK dude advocated for violence, and the supreme court said that the first amendment did not cover advocating for violence.

However it is strange that hate speech is allowed, as long as you don't advocate for violence.

one of my favorite images ever

Until you deny the holohoax that is

I don't feel we have an obsession with controlling discourse here. Nothing like the language policing in the US which isn't about laws but socially.

this is about criminal conspiracy though

ever heard of the nazi pug in scotland?

no we dont have free speech, people get prison time in luxembourg for simple facebook comments. and its not even hatred, just stating that you believe the country should send back the refugees gets you in front of a judge

> language policing in the US which isn't about laws but socially.

This is only present among certain social spheres, there is a strong undercurrent of "fuck you I say what I want" in pretty much all US discourse, that is how Trump became our president

It's about keeping the public discourse civil and not to stoop down to the levels of what your country's political debate have become.

Also to tell neonazi larpers to fuck off.

>I learned about migrant riots all over Europe from Sargon Of Akkad. There is absolutely no coverage of those in the mainstream media.
Then you're just a fucking moron who cannot into Mediathek.

By my observation being civil with your rapefugee overlords has gone swimmingly

...

Because our political systems got undermined by socialists/communists/marxists or whatever the fuck you want to call these cunts.

They highjacked higher governmental positions and the media and oppress every opionion that doesn't fit into their world view.

It's disgusting how politicians in this country always talk about democracy and freedom of speech while ever slightly nationalist movement gets hunted like jews in the third reich.

Don't worry, you're on your way there.

>oppress every opionion that doesn't fit into their world view
Nonsense. You can read about the garbage the AfD gaggle of morons puts out all the time, just as one ongoing example.

It's going to be nice for you guys when white Euros become a minority, then you can just take a play from the Jews and start taking home golds in the Oppression Olympics

>forced to pay money to your local communist terror organization
holy fuck europe sounds like a SJW dystopia

That poster is a complete moron. The major part of that money goes to the negotiated contracts between the university and public transport companies and accounts for let's say 3/4 of the amount. Another good chunk goes to the public institutions like those responsible for the food and other things. A tiny amount goes to students' institutions like the ASta, which is a bunch of representative bodies. But most of the time they're dominated by leftists, but mainly because conservatives or others don't usually bother to get into campus politics.

Spotted the shill. How much do they pay you?

>t. mental retard

>limiting free speech?
actually political free spech,you can sadl be as degenerate you want otherwise,it's below brazil tier that way..
Control,a continent run by beaurocrats who are all jerking off each other

Yeah, because insulting me proofs me wrong.

Fuck off Kevin.

You're making the delusional claim of me being paid and you expect me to give you proof of what, that you're mentally retarded? Go see a doctor about that and you got your proof you mongrel.

None. We're just being censored by big govt.
