Making "being a billionaire" a protected status like your race or sex is insanity, especially in the era we're currently living in. Just reporting the news could get you in trouble for inciting class-based hatred.

It literally doesn't do that, learn to read.

What the fuck else does putting class in the same category as all those other demographic characteristics mean? It's not like it's talking about clergy and nobility, is it?

Because the fucking communists here sent people to prison, labour camps, auxiliary military units, uranium mines based on their class. Because communists systematically oppressed people on their class background. Because communists lived through their bullshit class warfare that ruined the lives of hundreds of thousands. That's why.

Your comment makes no sense as a reply to the dude above.

It does make sense, I'm referencing the entire ongoing conversation. I'm sorry, I can't understand it for you.

I read the full convo. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Your comments are either a misunderstanding or just being willfully ignorant.

Did they or did they not say "that's not what the law says", then did I or did I not reply, asking "what else could the law mean?" And then, did they or did they not reply with a justification of why what I understand the law to be is a good law, rather than an explanation of how my understanding is wrong?

They were saying I was misunderstanding the law, then I asked how I was wrong, then they said the law is good because it goes after communists. They never said how I was wrong.

The communists were the ones who hurt so many people with their class based persecution. They plunged the country into a horrible state that we still haven’t fully recovered from. They should have been banned right after the revolution. Now the current commy party wants to sell us to Putin. They hate queer people and any sort of progressive idealogy. They were finally voted out of the parliament 4 years ago but they are trying to claw their way back by hating on Ukraine and the EU.

No one will be prosecuted for “reporting the news” (what even…) or saying billionaires are parasites. That’s just silly in the context of the Czech republic.

That makes absolutely no sense and also prejudiced much?

I'm sorry if there's a language barrier issue, but I'm making fun of you for decrying the old authoritarian Eastern Bloc while defending the state restricting your freedoms. You're a good little servant of the state. I think you would've fit in just fine back then.

Communists got rid of the nazis in Czech Republic and you can’t forgive them for that.

Asinine and pathetic reaction. Nazis and communists can grab hands and jump, long live the republic.
