"The great white devils executed him out of fear. Even with him helpless they feared him so much they killed him in his sleep."

VS

"They feared him so much they, uhm, tossed him in basement and forgot about him... like, uhm, birthday socks from your aunt..."

The latter has less of a holy war recruitment kick to it.

Slapping him in maximum security prison for life with no chance of parole might as well be death, but is something like 1/10th as expensive as execution.

Plus, in death he gets to be a martyr and his story paraded around on recruitment drives. But in life he can be forgotten and quietly keel over (after a couple years of a porkrind and bacon diet).

I don't see ads because I run adblock.
But I'm not deluded enough to believe ads don't have a legitimate use.

Slapping a sponsored link to adobe at the top of my search for "pdf editor" is vastly different than overwriting the links and sending me to a hack job website trying to sell me genuine counterfit handbags, black magic love slavery spells, and adobe pro licenses for 1/10th what they normally cost.

This stuff is perfectly legal to own in the blocked areas. The content owners just want to make sure someone viewing their content in Germany must pay the German price for it, instead of say the French price. Even if the customer is French, already bought the content in France, and is visiting Germany temporarily.

The Nazi stuff, on the other hand, is not legal in Germany.
