Germany has gone down this road before, if I recall correctly it didn't end well last time they started censoring people.

Germans wanting to silence opposition, eh? Sounds familiar... Then again they do a lot of censoring their own history, so maybe they've forgotten.

They tried to stop J4MB in Cambridge, also.

What news? A feminist blaming everyone and everything but herself.

Preliminaries: Who is Annegret Kramp-Karrenberger and why should non-Germans give a shit?

She is the heir-presumptive of the Christian Democrat Union, which runs the German government in a coalition with the Social Democrats (you know, the guys and gals who brought us the Weimar Republic). Additionally, AKK is an avowed feminist, having supported quotas for women in the boardroom. We're still awaiting word on her position on quotas for women on the garbage trucks.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel's favoured successor plunged into a new social media storm Tuesday, with her apparent call for limits to free speech around elections stoking further anger rather than put down a raging youth-led YouTube revolt.

The comment by Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer came after her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its centre-left coalition partner SPD suffered their worst scores in Sunday's European election.

Oof. But why?

The CDU, in particular, had been put on the back foot in the days leading up to the polls as 70 YouTube stars urged voters to punish the party for its failure to take adequate action to halt global warming.

So, this wasn't an attack from 'MUH RIGHT WING', or 'L'ALT RIGHT' or 'DIE EUROSCEPTICS' or 'EL NATIONALISMO'; this was the enviro-tards, the watermelons, launching an attack from the left against the center/center-left.

So delicious. So, so delicious.

Addressing the debacle on Monday night, Kramp-Karrenbauer called for checks on the online influencers, saying that if 70 newspaper editors had made a concerted call to boycott parties ahead of an election, that would be classed "clearly as propaganda".

And yet, if 70 newspaper editors call for the masses to cast their meaningless ballots for Empty Suit A in the equally meaningless election ritual, we are supposed to interpret that not as propaganda, but as Empty Suit A being on 'the right side of history' and having 'a groundswell of popular support.'

"The question is... what are rules from the analogue realm and which rules should apply to the digital realm?

"I'll tackle this discussion quite aggressively," said Kramp-Karrenbauer, or AKK as she is dubbed in Germany.

You know who else tackled the 'discussion' of people saying things they didn't like in mass media? I'll give you a hint:

They were Germans and were rather enthusiastic about the idea of an Organic State.
