In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence in a way that goes beyond any conflict abroad, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again.
Not properly fascist of course, but some very disturbing authoritarian tendencies have surfaced. It would be inconceivable until a few years ago that UN human rights experts would be wagging their finger at the Federal Republic of Germany. This is not normal.
Most certainly. I remember Germany getting reprimanded for various things. Racism, gender inequality, trying to deport people to Afghanistan after it was taken over by Taliban, we get sued by various entities or the EU for not implementing EU legislation. It happens all the time and isn’t anything new. And police violence isn’t new either, this borders on whataboutism, but I believe they’ve done far worse stuff than this.

Your comment clearly reveals that you have no idea about Germany.

Your comment is completely out of touch.
Why? Genuine question…
