What exactly would you jail him for though? While he is mostly spewing bullshit without coming with any real solutions, he isn't actually doing anything 'legally' wrong.

He was tried around 2008/2009 for hate speech and discrimination. He should have been convicted then.

The Holocaust was legal and not legally wrong.

There is quite a bit of a difference between genocide and some mean words about the Islam.

Yes, words can be harmful but the holocaust is quite a bit outside that scope.

Something that you probably understand, seeing as you came with this absolute shit strawman take.

It's not a strawman if it's fact. The point is that "legality" is not the only basis for action or lack thereof. Shit like that is what got us in this fucking mess.
