> it's been appropriated differently by English-speakers
I'm an English speaker from the American midwest and I still think of it as an (I always assumed ironic) reference to Nazi supremacism when I see it. I'm not offended by it but it always struck me as a strange joke. "This thing is so great it's Nazi great!" Fantastic.
It's interesting to me that that's not the intent. It's a reference to the phrase "Deutschland Over Everything Else," which is either a Nazi thing or a merely German nationalist thing, depending on the context and intent. I can see why a German person might want to "take it back" and make it not mean something fascist, but why would anyone outside of that context even bother?
> Censoring people
Konstruktor was pointing out a flaw, rightly or wrongly, but not censoring. He doesn't have that power here.
