    Police said they were reporting all four to prosecutors on suspicion of violating the Austrian law that bans the symbols of Nazism.

    Every nation in the world should enact the same law.

    edit - Seems I’ve upset the nazi sympathizers today. My good deed is done.

      I’d want the wording on such a law to be extremely specific so as not to be weaponized by saying anything the current people in power don’t like is a Nazi symbol.

      But it couldn’t be and still have any worth, since the symbols would constantly change to remain hidden. It would simply further impede upon freedom of speech and expression the more you try to stop it.

        You’ve perfectly described the problem with what the OP is proposing. Disagreeing with that position doesn’t make you a Nazi.

      I think Germany is suffering because of this law. It feeds the conspiracy native that these movements often thrive upon.

        Don’t you understand, if we make the symbols illegal then people won’t have those beliefs anymore. Duh.
