The commission are certainly deranged, and the UK is certainly deranged, but overall I don't agree that the situation is bad.

Maybe in Germany.

Well Germany is were I live, but if you are any EU citizen you are technically free to come live in Germany, but then you will get your mouth shut and your thoughts policed by the very many German bodies, governmental and otherwise. So in a way even as a non-German you are still affected.

What are you talking about? There is literally only one opinion that is illegal in Germany and that is to deny that the holocaust happened.

Everything else can be published (there can be civil lawsuits later of course, but the state won't stop you unless you are actively treating people).

According to Robert Habeck and the post-Merkel clique, criticizing Israel is antisemitism. Ironically the AfD are Israel sympathizers. But Israeli Jews who have the wrong opinions according to the state of Germany, cannot speak in Germany without getting censored or locked up.
