Yeah no shit!!
When ever there is one small crime of foreigners its immedietly talked about the next days. But not when its a german
We should unite in making the news about the rich not paying their fair share. Tax wealth, not work. It should be on the news 24/7: rich guy didn’t pay their fair share, rich dudette didn’t pay inheritance tax, rich fuck owns 24% of housing stock in city, wealthy shitcase owns debt of X% of population, etc.
We should be calling out these shitheads nonstop and making everybody aware of their unwillingness to improve the world for everybody except their greedy asses.
Tax wealth, not work.
Isn’t that the same everywhere?
Yes (or at least I don’t personally know of anywhere that it isn’t the case), this is just a German newspaper reporting on a German professor’s work
Maybe it is, but it still is bad and good to point out what happens.
The German media landscape is largely run by conservatives and right wingers who tell you that everyone else is too left and inviting conservatives and right radicals to talk shows is „showing both perspectives“. I would call it a circus if it wasn‘t so serious and depressing.
The media landscape in Germany and many other European countries may have its troubles, but it is far mire diverse than the linked article and some of the comments suggest. Saying it is ‘largely run by conservatices and right wingers’ is oversimplified to a degree that it doesn’t reflect reality imo.
What really doesn‘t reflect reality anymore are most political debates and talkshows on German state TV. They keep inviting corrupt conservatives and blatant fascists so they can spread their lies and the host just frowns awkwardly when a guest blurts out the most deranged hate rant against minorities. They‘re doing democracy a disservice by giving these crooks a platform. Many criticize them for not even doing basic fact checks but I say that‘s by design. You don‘t keep inviting fucking Nazis to your show to fact check them, you just give them a platform.
But it doesn‘t even have to be about Nazis. The way they framed well fare leading up to drastic and insanely unfair budget cuts recently tells you everything you need to know about what makes them tick. Kicking down is their motto.

Largely is debatable, but we do have non-partisan and centre-to-left outlets too. I’m in no way naive but it’s not quite as bad as in *cough* some other countries.
UK is dreadful for it.
The world is absolutely royally fucked. How many millions of people will die from facism / capitalism in the next decade? 10m? 20m? 30m?
Sadly not surprising at all. 🙁
This is unfortunately not limited to Germany.
The NGO Human Rights Watch has urged on China to combat anti-black racism and online hate on Chinese social media, but the call didn’t bear any fruit it seems.
In January this year, Al Jazeera reported that China’s social media firms face scrutiny over hate speech after stabbings (at least 4 foreign nationals were killed at the time in China, including a 10-year-old Japanese schoolboy in Shenzhen), saying that Xenophobic and hyper-nationalistic comments are easy to come by on Chinese social media platforms.
Just this week, another report revealed that racist AI fantasies are spreading on China’s internet as anti-black videos speak to popular prejudices.
The horrible thing is that all this happens on Chinese media that is heavily censored by the Chinese government usually deleting everything that is against its policies.
[Edit typo.]
Why the hell do Chinese people even care about black people? China’s population is about 0.04% black.
Whatabout … China!?
Won’t somebody think about … China???
You’re probably right, but this is article is about a different country on a different continent.
Uh… K?
