I think we fucked up when writing Germany's constitution. We should have put free speech laws. I believe Japan's speech laws are similar to ours.

The Allied/American military who helped re-establish the German state must not have grasped the basis of the democratic system. That is likely the case today. Being in power does not make people wise.
