The Polish government has said the legislation aims to stop the Polish people or state being blamed for Nazi crimes.

The United States said, however, the legislation “could undermine free speech and academic discourse. We all must be careful not to inhibit discussion and commentary on the Holocaust”.

“We believe open debate, scholarship, and education are the best means of countering inaccurate and hurtful speech,” State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement.

“We are also concerned about the repercussions this draft legislation, if enacted, could have on Poland’s strategic interests and relationships ... We encourage Poland to re-evaluate the legislation,” Nauert said.

A sure sign that a state has become nationalist authoritarian is when the leadership become snowflakes about any criticism of the country, past or present.

Yeah, we just need to find a way to blame Russia for this development. Do you have anything?

Repoman, what is the emphasized "Now" in your thread title referring to?

My guess is that you are referring to the fact that there has been little objection to laws in other countries that have criminalized holocaust denial as "hate speech".
