why isn’t holocaust denial a federal offence?

Question

In Germany holocaust denial can be punished by up to 5 years of jail time.why can’t we do the same here in america or more?the good thing is that if this law was passed, it would put a lot of racist bigoted white nationalists in jail.

The US has this thing called “freedom of speech,” and the more disgusting the speech, the more it needs protection. Without that protection, our open society is diminished and threatened.

In Germany this law was introduced by the victors in order to brainwash the people , I don´t think someone should have the power to dictate which thoughts and opinions are politically correct while criminalize all opposing viewpoints…

It really makes you think that it didn’t happen if they have to make a law to stop ppl saying it

Lora Bins · Answer

Germany is a very young country. It didn’t exist before about 1870, and with the exception of a few years in the 1920’s and early 1930’s it has never existed as a unified democracy until the end of the cold war. That is why its people are like little children, who need guidance and controls. Unlike America which has been a country since 1776 and has always claimed to be a democracy.

Because we have a little thing called “the First Amendment.” Look it up.
