The Price of Humor in Germany: 3600 Euros

Germany's health minister Karl Lauterbach was reported by the newspaper, Die Welt, to have stated:

“The masks always send out a signal”



American playwright and German resident C.J. Hopkins responded with a tweet including this image from the cover of his book showing a scarcely visible swastica:



The German state, justifying in full measure the stereotype of the humorless German, charged and convicted Hopkins of :“disseminating propaganda, the contents of which are intended to further the aims of a former National Socialist organization.”

The punishment?

60 days in jail or 3,600 euros.

At least one can take comfort from the fact that today, as in the days of Hitler, the German bad guys are dumb as Hell.
