In beide Richtungen (Both directions)

Meinungsfreiheit bedeutet auch, dass ich jemandem sagen kann, dass ich der Meinung bin, dass er an Schwachsinn glaubt.


Freedom of opinion also means that I can tell someone that I think he believes in nonsense.

I agree but somehow in certain cases the freedom is not much freedom any more.

Practically it gets treated pretty offside of that, I know.
But still, I'd like to put that up as a reminder.
If somebody tells you so much to shut up - well, some people need to be reminded that freedom of opinion is a thing valid for both sides. If he doesn't like yours, then it's his problem to accept and to take that and not your duty to have regard for that. If he can't - well, you know how high he holds that topic then, right?
But then everybody else knows too. Haha.
