If the Czechs are really taking this seriously, then I absolutely applaud them for it. Sackings and prosecution are the only way to go in Nazi cases. It is a great start, but it should go further with a European wide ban on these symbols. The Czechs could show they are really serious about it by promoting bans within the EU as well. The EU needs to get seroius for the benefit of everyone. The Nazis nearly permanently destroyed Europe, there is no room for even a crack to allow this filth to crawl through. I hope Russia raises this aspect at the EU-Russia summit, because we know the huge consequences of Nazism, and we have a duty not to allow it to gain even a slight foothold again. Remember Nazism like Terrorism is not some geopolitical tool, it is a suicide pill in the end!

it is a tool of war. Those who organize it know it perfectly. It is geopolitical tool, but masterminds in the end never got hurt. It is just: Hey you two, kill each other and I will come then to stop the bloodshed. At the same time getting Uge profits and becoming greater power while weakening those two. I in the end will look like the innocent one, just because you two were naive and started killing each other for no apparent reason, other than some ideology. It is not europe that is breeding nazis, it is most likely ultra-rich willing to bail themselves out with a war in Europe and getting even more power than ever before. It is just a made-up case. Czechs are some of the more easily ideologized nations, I dont mean the majority, but if you know their mentality, you would understand what I mean, they in general believe, that theyre unique, that Europe stands because of them. When watching Czech TV, sports, it turns ridiculous, some commentators are just out of reality. Czechs dont really know that. That doesnt mean theyre nazis at all. They just usually cant see anything below because of their noses. They are a nation of extremes I´d say. Not extremists rly. Theyre more likely to believe some ideology, because religion or being religious means to be backwards thinking overthere. Their national identity is mixed with reformation and in general, being non-religious is considered honorable. To me ridiculous, but they know how they wanna live.
