Germany banned the dissemination of Nazi propaganda; unconstitutional but I wouldn't mind too much.

While I sympathize with the feeling, it's a dangerous line to cross. If we can ban that, then whatever the powers that be want to ban, they can ban. So, for example, DeSantis could ban anything he considers "woke".

I think the limitations on free speech that we current have are reasonable. albaby has discussed that multiple times in the past (i.e. unprotected speech). Depending on the propaganda, it's possible it may not be protected speech (IIRC, calling for violence is not protected).

Nazi propaganda is an example of what offends me, and evidence that I live in a free country. I can also call Nazis the scum of the earth, and that too is protected.
