Obvious as it may sound, people with authoritarian beliefs hiding behind free speech actually consider it as a weakness akin empathy. It allows losers like them to amplify their reach despite not being in power. They abandon their “free speech absolutist” postures the moment they think they are in power.

    Goebbels must have felt really clever when he killed his children and wife. Right Goebbels?

    Goebbels? (Gore)

    Oh.

        Search: goebbels death -> Goebbels Wikipedia article:

        In the mid-afternoon of 30 April, Hitler shot himself. […] On the evening of 1 May, Goebbels arranged for an SS dentist, Helmut Kunz, to inject his six children with morphine so that when they were unconscious, an ampule of a cyanide compound could be then crushed in each of their mouths. […] At around 20:30, Goebbels and [wife] Magda left the bunker and walked up to the garden of the Chancellery, where they killed themselves. There are several different accounts of this event. [I’ve omitted contradictory claims of how they died and were treated after by SS soldiers] The corpses were then doused with petrol, but they were only partially burned and not buried.

        Mod here: Nah, that stays up.

        You just sear that image into your brain and think about it every time you hear the word Nazi, remember what they did to human beings (even their own).

        If you haven’t seen them, look up pictures of the holocaust because those horrors should never be forgotten.
