    Soral was convicted repeatedly in France and sentenced to jail time in 2019 for denying the Holocaust, which is a crime in France.

    Yeah, it’s safe to say this is a consistent pattern of behavior for this guy.

      Well he’s a “polemicist” apparently, it’s his thing and he seems to be pretty good at it. So what if it’s a consistent pattern of behaviour? Maybe he’s just an asshole, if that were illegal the world would have USA levels of prison camps.

      He already served jail time for that.

      Are you saying, any person who served their time, must be punished again if you find their speech offensive?

          So you are OK with him being sentenced for calling someone a fat lesbian?

          BTW shitlibs are either dead silent or running Nazi apologia for SS soldier Yuroslav Hunka, who was celebrated in the Canadian parliament.

            Given that he’s verbally abusing her on live TV for her sexuality, along with further comments yeah. Discrimination against someone for their sexual orientation is illegal in Switzerland, as it should be, and penalties are almost always more severe for doing so in a highly public setting.

            The Canada thing is completely irrelevant to this post, but tankies just have to bring it up every single chance they get.

            GTFO with your shit stirring tankie propaganda.

              You have a problem with Holocaust deniers. But are A-Ok with actual nazis? Not a peep against the Nazis in Canada. No word of support to reopening the whitewashed Deschenes Commission report. Then you come here to smear anyone who holds a different opinion. Just like Trudeau, his minions call everyone they disagree with, nazis. But love and celebrate actual nazis.

                Nah g holocaust deniers, nazis, tankies, homophobes, and all authoritarian capitalists can get fucked. The way that countries like Canada, the USSR, the UK, and the USA protected “useful” Nazis after WW2 is disgraceful, but that doesn’t really have anything to do with modern Switzerland shutting down homophobic neo-nazis.

        If the speech is illegal and it’s a different instance, yes.

        That’s how crimes work…

        You don’t get to rob banks whenever you like if you’ve already been jailed for it once.

        In fact, the sentences get more severe for repeat offences, which is exactly what’s happened here.
