Well what about: germans should respect germans laws, and not tell me, belgian, what I can call nazi or not.

Beside it's bullshit. You can frame any law as having a fair purpose. In its current form, it's weaponizing the remembrance of the holocaust to downplay and justify the current genocide. It is used to push the rhetoric according to which the genocide was self-defense and that without israel the jews would get killed. It's constantly conflating the israeli state and the jewish people (that's antisemitism), saying that wishing for the end of the former means wanting to kill the later.

In general germans people should really shut the fuck up about genocide.

Sure, I agree with nearly everything you said.

Except that on a German instance you must abide German laws. If it were a Belgian instance, Belgian laws would have to be followed. You can call anyone and anything a nazi outside of instances hosted by Germans.

For similar reasons, calls for the death of billionaires are removed on lemmy.world because that violates laws where that instance is hosted.

The Radbruch formula is not bullshit though, as it explicitly defines when disobedience of laws is mandatory. Slightly infringing on freedom of speech is not a valid reason, as it doesn't violate fundamental rights that cannot ever be restricted by laws - most notably the freedom to live and being free of bodily harm.
