Talk:Volksverhetzung

sources

• answers.com entry, reworded and expanded

This might be helpful to expand the article, I'm too lazy:

• The law's German wording, non authoritative source
• unhchr translation, use ctrl+F to find "Incitement of the people"

"Incitement" is wrong. "Inciting" would be "aufhetzen", referring to the part of the populace X that got riled up against another part Y. "Verhetzen" means the defamation that leads to the riling up against populace part Y. So, if the german people got incited to hate jews, we would say the germans got "aufgehetzt", while jews got "verhetzt". --84.137.19.188 (talk) 19:00, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

The word "popular" is incorrect, because in English it has a positive meaning, as in "that is a popular song" or "vanilla is the most popular ice cream flavor." A better translation of "Volks-," unless someone has a better idea, is "ethnic." The text of the law is broader than the title. Perhaps a better way to render "incitement of popular hatred" would be "ethnic defamation." KenWC (talk) 14:04, 30 August 2013 (UTC)

The following sentence in the introduction:

The concept draws criticism by press and legal scholars [...] allowing in theory to punish nearly any political statment made and violating the freedom of speech.

references an article published in March 1960 that is hardly relevant any more. In the current form it implies widespread criticism of the law, which is evidently not the case. --141.70.99.109 (talk) 00:23, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

History

I think this section should be deleted. I could not find the word Volksverhetzung in any of the Karlsbader Beschlüsse. Also, the Prussian Strafgesetzbuch from 1851 (http://koeblergerhard.de/Fontes/StrafgesetzbuchPreussen1851.pdf) does not use the term (it has 87:Öffentliche Aufforderung zu gesetzlichem Ungehorsam and 93:Störung der öffentlichen Ordnung). The Reichsstrafgesetzbuch of 1871 does have §130, but does not give it a title (http://lexetius.com/StGB/130,11).--Loewis (talk) 20:29, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Translation

Of the full paragraph is missing - shall it be added. --105.12.4.96 (talk) 15:05, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

privileging non-Germans

An action against non-Germans would be punishable under this paragraph, while, if the same action would be directed against Germans, it won't be punishable by a Court. --197.169.237.245 (talk) 09:51, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
