@palestine@a.gup.pe @adachika192@hcommons.social @palestine@lemmy.ml @elston_@noauthority.social To be fair most memes are illegal in the US too and just rarely enforced. Copyright law is real, and the bar for fair use is not zero.
Germany has long standing bans for "emblems of anti constitutional organizations" (i.e. swastikas), incitement to hatred ("Volksverhetzung") and of course copyright violations too. All three, BTW, forced on Germany by the US after WW2 for the first two and the latter was primarily US induced along the lines of DMCA, too. As such, Americans have no right to complain - their own country made it so, Germany is to blame only for listening to 'Murica at all (but it is not like they had a choice for the first two).
Fun fact: you think incitement memes are legal in the US? Think again. People get anti harassment court orders for less, and recently these orders also remove constitutional rights to self defense (something both Biden and Trump are in favor of).

Free speech is an inalienable right. God-given to posit it above the state. All governments can go to hell if they try to limit it including the U.S. I agree that last two decades US has been going wrong way. I don't defend it.
Germany should be seeking to change constitution. Germany needs political revolution where AfD & populist left typified by Sahra Wagenknecht wrest power from dumb coalition running Germany into the ground.

You make a great argument on why more meme posting is needed! Fight fire with fire!
