good thing our glorious german arms manufacturer Rheinmetall (creators of the Leopard tanks) built the world’s most high-tech tank factory in fucking Hungary of all places. Putin will soon sport some sleak looking new MBT’s in Ukraine thanks to us greedy Germans :)

I’m sorry, but how is that in any way representative? That’s a pretty limited view. As a lot of black expats made videos describing racism in europe and US, overwhelmingly said it’s different, but far less and not at all systematical like in the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u3y9Wo0Esg

so yeah, media and singular view points are not really helpful in feeling out a culture, what helps is traveling there and seeing for yourself. I mean, prejudeces have to start somewhere, and most of the time it’s from hear-say and media

yes, it is. The european idea of freedom is not total freedom and excemption from repercussions, the european idea of freedom is doing what you want AS LONG AS you don’t infringe on other people’s freedoms. And being proven anti-constitutional is very much infringing on pretty much all other freedoms, most notably and basic of all the human rights

the AfD is proven anti-constitutional and want to dissassemble the democratic fundamentals that make Germany what it is today. We have a problem with narrative pushing bots and corrupt media only highlighting immigrant criminal cases, but the vast majority of people are against the AfD. Banning them protects our democracy and constitution. I agree with you that older people sometimes share very xenophobic world views, and that our guilt to Israel blinds us to what they are doing in Gaza, but a lot of people are speaking out against the Netanyahu regime openly on the streets and support Ukraine in their quest to staying a souvereign state, rather than a russian sattelite state, like it used to be under the Soviet Union. I was born, grew up and still live in the GDR region, which was also controlled by Russia during the cold war, and I NEVER want to have them back as our occupiers. I would rather die at the front and protect our free and democratic country, than subject my nephews to a possible world order, where they are under the boot of an autocrat that treats them as cannonfodder to expand their imperialistic dreams of total power and control

any sane person still living in the masquerading third-world-shithole called US, make your way to Europe, we love social security and freedom of expression, religion, movement and speech. Love and solidarity from Deutschland <3

As a german I am sorry for Palantir, Peter Thiel (and by extension Elon Musk), Adolf and Donald Trump. We are just not exporting the best we’ve got and I am terribly sorry for that. We will try and change that in the near future.

I hope Mamdani can lift the red scare over the US. Socialism is a fucking great thing, greetings from Germany! <3 Best of luck to Mister Mamdani

crazy how quickly people come to terms with an absolutely privacy-infringing regime, that wants to control every single aspect of your life to the point where they want to guide the train of thoughts in your head as to never think a bad thought about Trumpy Dumb or his cronies

only the dictator states with populist governments spreading hatred and lies

Socrates, Plato and Diogenes where all opposed to the greek state while being great minds of their time. A culture does not define everyone’s humane aspects of thinking, just most.
