“Hip-hop-hop visionary, cultural icons and controversial talent will perform specially at the Rubicon Festival in Bratislawa on July 20, 2025. This will be his only confirmation live performance in Europe in 2025 and will be the first show in Slovakia in History,” The organizers confirmed on the website of the event on Monday. “Rubicon Festival is increasing the bar at a full new level for European festivals.”
His special has awakened the Anger Festival. More than 3,000 people have already signed Petition The festival is being asked to cancel the rapper’s performance, which is previously known as Kanye West.
The author of the petition says that in recent years, repeatedly and openly Nazi has adopted symbolism and ideology associated with Germany, for example, “I am a Nazi” and “I Love Hitler” on social media platforms.
“He affects the crimes of the totalitarian dictatorial regime and the atrocities of war, which affects the Slovak population.”
The petition refers to the latest track of U, “Heil Hitler”, which was released on 8 May – 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s defeat in World War II.
The song refers to Nazi salute which was in Adolf Hitler. The artwork of the single resembles a swastika, and the song ends with a Langty sample from a Hitler speech.
As a petition, mention, songs have been banned in Germany.
Nazi symbol prohibited in Germany
Within Germany, these videos could not be a sea between their positions on X, social media platforms were first known as Twitter. The post was re -visible by changing someone’s location in the United States with VPN.
“Heil Hitler” was used as an official greeting in Nazi Germany. Together, the speed of the hand, which is made with the right hand and built with a palm downwards, is said to have originated in ancient Rome and then adopted by Italy’s fascist dictator Benito Mussolini in the 1920s.
Later, Hitler signed it as Nazi Party, which ruled Germany from 1933 to 1945.
In the later era, West German authorities banned the use of several Nazi symbols and gestures as the emergency of the country from the Holocaust, which claims through the victims.
Public performance or spread of Nazi symbols and slogans, search or phrase as hand gestures became a criminal offense under Section 86A of the German Criminal Code.
This law prohibits the use of symbols associated with “unconstitutional organizations”, including party -associated people, finding Swastik, SS Run and Nazi salutes and slogans.
Using search symbols or gestures can be punished up to three years of jail or penalty.
Refusing Holocost is illegal in Germany and many other European countries, as well as Canada and Israel.
Eighty years after the end of the war, the ban on material related to Nazi is strict.
Nazi symbols were not banned in America
Other countries have banned symbols of hatred, to combat the rise and growing antisementism of far-flung groups. In February, Australia passed a law against hate, including sentences to show with hatred including Nazi salutes.
In the United States, many forms of vulgar language are protected by the first amendment of the US Constitution, which is to guarantee free expression.
It is not illegal to demonstrate Nazi salute or wear swastika in the United States.
Since World War II, salutes are often used by neo-Nazis and white nationalists. In 2016, for example, a shocking video featured a white domination group, which showed Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential victory and extended its arms in a clear Nazi-style salute.
In January, X-owner Elon Musk, who openly supports the nationalist option for the German party, came under investigation to perform the performance to look like Nazi-style opening in the second opening of Trump. Musk’s defenders claimed that it was accidental; Many observers deliberately saw it.
In response, activists of the campaign group led by the donkey introduced an image at their Tesla factory outside Berlin, showing Kasturi, showing, showing as “heel tesla”. The group felt that if the German authorities had considered the symbol illegal according to the country’s criminal code, it would prove that Musk had performed the Nazi salute.
Musk has expressed antisementic views in recent years, including responding to a user on X in 2023, who has accused the Jewish communities “pushing … dialectical hatred against diagonal hatred”, which is a conspiracy theory among white dominations.
“You have said the real truth,” Kasturi changed the user into response.
Lack of tech company regulation
Although platforms, including Spotify, YouTube and SoundCloud worked after its release, was widely available on video x. Even though these beaches have been suspended from Twitter and now X has been extended for X antisemtic materials, but their account has always been restored.
These celebrity status shared videos with other platforms, millions of times to share fans on Facebook, Instagram and Redit.
This shows how low the Big tech companies feel – or want to help in removing the aggressive materials already published on Haj. To remove the video and remove it, the scuffle has renewed the Major Tech Company’s content policies, especially the social media platforms owned by the meta.
In the light of the video, the Anti-Defense League, a US-based, international non-governmental organizations, which compete with antismitism, bigotry and discrimination, asked Facebook and Instagram to resume users from Facebook and Instagram to resume users from Facebook and Instagram.
Meta announced in January that it would no longer employ fact-cakers, and in the light of “recent elections” will tell about the rules around abusive language and misconduct-in the context of the President’s victory of the President.
Nevertheless, Hitler rhetoric, supporter by the latest single of West, is still associated with the company’s “harmful stereotypes historic, including blackfase and holocaust refusal.”
