fascism in Germany? can’t be
this is actually faceism
Good
I see Germany has a gang of coward pigs no fucking better than the violent sounder that plagues the US.
That’s why ACAB means ACAB
His gloves are the type with reinforced knuckles too. Disgusting.
And I get banned from feddit.org for pointing out Genocidesmany’s complicity. The germans are not ok.
Likewise. Feddit bans everyone pointing out the Nazism of the German government. Their agenda is pretty obvious.
ACAB
ABSB (Alle Bullen sind Bastarde)
Arbeiter Bunt-Samarita Bund
When they go for one of you, everyone needs to pile in. They can’t take all of you, don’t give them even one inch.
Sounds like you work for the police. You probably should.
They can’t take all of you
lol who told you that? it’s common to surround illegal demonstrations and let people go one by one after taking their personal details. of course they can also take you in if you do stupid shit
“Illegal demonstrations” is one of the most fascist-dystopian terms I have ever read.
Yeah that’s only if everyone remains civil
sure, if it doesn’t remain civil, a few could get away, but the majority would be really fucked
No, they wouldn’t. There’s an ass load more people than cops, if people stop playing nice, even their “crowd control” measures aren’t going to stop 2000 people from overwhelming 100 or 200 of them. Basic arithmetic and people need to stop living in fear like you are and realize how much power we have.
The people living under the divine providence of kings thought it was an unmovable system, it wasn’t.
Just a bunch of boot lickers hoping someone else will save them. Thankfully, at least some of us understand how things work.
li’l bro over here trying to start the revolution
anyways, in this specific protest, they would’ve been fucked
Never seen 4 or 5 people push over a truck?
They have guns and they’re allowed to kill people if they “feel their lives are threatened”. You can’t protest with guns anywhere in the EU.
Yes, some blood is gonna get spilled. You either die fighting or go quietly into that great night. Revolution is never bloodless. Neither is seizing power, or fighting against injustice. Heads will roll, let’s make sure it’s the right ones, eh?!
Don’t underetimate people in chaos. Things escalate quick
No they need justification, this is not the US.
A mob of people kicking and punching is a lethal threat.
They won’t shoot real bullets as a first resort but escalation is not a viable tactic, especially since protesters are disarmed and can’t legally retaliate against unjustified violence.
I have this dislike for Germany because for the last few decades they like to pretend they’re super progressive, free of racism and xenophobia and that every country should be as accepting of diversity as they are. But when I look at the reality, that’s very clearly not the case.
Meh, they’re just as racist. Just not publicly or virulently like the US has been. Been going to Germany for 20+ years and sitting down with everyday people you’ll quickly hear about all the problems with immigrants and the like. It’s quite common.
hear about all the problems with immigrants and the like.
Is there anywhere this isn’t the case? I’ve heard the same in Central America, Sweden, and the Netherlands, I know the UK is that way too.
Yeah, it’s pretty universal, but I think the point is that Germany comes across as very progressive when in fact on the ground level it’s got some problems too.
I’m not certain what the great filter actually is, but I’m starting to worry that humanity might deserve it.
It’s the light at the end of the tunnel some of us hoped to make it through, except it was the proverbial train.
I have a brother in law that moved to Germany. He talks about it like it’s the magical promised land, where everyone is awesome and poverty and racism isnt a thing. He grew up in wealth and moved to a nice area of Germany so he thinks he knows how it all works
Probably the case for most well-off people. They have more of a choice to ignore the dirty underside of life.
We regressed. After the murderous 90s and the shitty 2000s we had some years up until the pandemic in which racist politics didn’t have the same draw it has now.
Just like any country, we did not defeat racism. We let it bubble under the surface and now it’s exploding. There are still millions of people who don’t think that way. But the majority is now totally fine with racialized politics.
Sometimes I wonder whether what we’re seeing is actually a regression, or whether that’s just what’s easier to believe. As you highlight, this has been bubbling under the surface for a while, so one could argue that it never really went away.
I often think about how the UK likes to pretend it doesn’t have a problem with antisemitism. Before WW2, there were plenty of powerful people in Britain who were thinking that Hitler was a sensible chap to be finally addressing “the Jewish problem”.
Sure, some of these people were probably horrified when they learned of the mass extermination programme under Nazi Germany, but they were plenty fine with seizing the property of Jewish people and putting them into ghettos. But nooooo, of course we don’t have a systemic problem with antisemitism — we beat the Nazis! We’re the heroes, don’t you know?
I dont think you can “beat” racism. I think its something that comes from growing up and seeing behavior you think is negative from a certain group of people.
Maybe some humans are not built to get along with everyone. We tend to like people who are similar to ourselves.
I havent seen many discussions about why people are racist. Clearly some of them are, and maybe we would be also if we grew up with their experiences.
I dont think you are born a racist. Its something society does to you growing up. Could be low emotional intelligence but seems like a bit too easy to explain it that way. Many very intelligent people are racists also, clearly.

Thing is, most people don’t see any behaviour like this. There was a study that showed 90% of Arabs portrayed in Hollywood movies over the past 50 years were terrorists or radical islamists. Media overblows criminality in regions with immigrants and outright makes up nazi propaganda of there being “police-less ghettos” in Sweden or Germany. Crime rates are the lowest that they’ve been in Europe’s history, the reason why people don’t like immigrants is prevalently because of concerted efforts by a group of people with a lot of money to create racial tensions that they can later politically exploit.
I remember this myself. All the movies I watched growing up had muslim terrorists. Or Russian. Because my country is mostly watching American movies.

Thanks Keir Starmer, you authoritarian cunt
They block certain imgur videos now? Or all of imgur?
Here is a reupload on catbox: https://files.catbox.moe/bm9z9t.mp4
I think Imgur blocked the UK entirely themselves rather than comply with the online spying act
The German police beating Gaza-protesters? That’s like their number one hobby. They would never dare treat literal neo-nazis from “Der Dritte Weg” like that.
Well, that was 100% a conscious decision to throw a punch at an unarmed protester…
We need to bring back and eye for an eye, he should get punched by someone with equal force that he used.
At the very least, someone who has proven they cannot be trusted in a position of power should be removed from that position. The reason why so many people believe that ACAB is because even when cops do stuff that leaves no room for any benefit of the doubt, there are no repercussions.
He should get punched with someone of the same weight class disparity above him that he had to her.
Exactly this. Weight classes exist for a reason. Inertia is a thing, and smaller people have less of it to throw around. A tiny person will get their shit rocked by a big person, even if the big person is only half-assing their punches. A concussion is when the brain bounces off the inside of the skull, and someone in a higher weight class is much more likely to cause that. Look at how her head snaps back when she gets hit. Now imagine if it was someone her own size, and imagine how much less impact it would have.
Aye, theres something to be said for the added weight of equipment too. Someone running into you on the street deliver so much more of a whack when they have a bag on their back.
itt: lemmy treating illegal protests the same as boxing matches
illegal protests
You’ve already lost the argument.
Good catch.
Ban police from wearing armor or bearing stopping g force, that’ll get them to be peaceful
BE 12211 is a bitch
Probably a nazi too.
Afaik that is a unit code, not a personal identifier. But I could be wrong
My bad, 31405 is a bitch
Riot police in Berlin was always a tad more brutal for no apparent reason. I guess that’s the ‘perk’ for protesting in the capital…
Cunt needs to get his head kicked in.
Anyone has a link to a more complete version of this video?
smartest comment I’ve seen so far. there context of what happened before is conveniently missing
You might be able to find the full video under the hashtag #b0710 on twitter.
Thanks!
Now we just need someone with a Twitter account (I don’t have one, because… reasons…)You don’t need a Twitter account.
Thanks!
Didn’t know this yet.But also didn’t find any relevant videos besides the one from this post…
If nitter is down, there is also xcancel
