    Germany has persecuted more jews for political reasons this past year than for the past five decades. But yeah sure why not.

        idk if anyone has tracked this specific statistic, but I am referring to the prosecution of pro-Palestine speakers and organizers, many of whom are Jewish.

        Here’s one two three articles on the topic.

    Liberalism has ruined the word “democracy” by making it about vibes and process over actual democratic outcomes.

    The world’s leading democracy that banned the Communist Party of Germany; the only party that actually cared about stopping Nazis pre-WW2, coincidentally is now seeing a return of Nazis to the Bundestag in their absence.

    Please, are we really trying to pretend?

    How could avoiding the whole elephant in the room, a country that was basically for anyone to been seen exposed for the us puppet state that it is, be a leading democracy.

    Literally all decisions was just following Washington and being ignored, while failing and causing further damage to the global south.

    Germany today not only scores an impressive 95 out of 100 on the Freedom House index, reflecting strong civil liberties and political rights, but also ranks as the world’s third-largest economy, trailing only the U.S. and China.

    even in this admittedly short article this is the only paragraph that even explains the headlines premise. Largest Economy is also right out of the windows as a signifier since I’m pretty sure China is not one according to who wrote this, so the entire premise is 95/100 on the Freedom House Index.

    The current score also isn’t as of yet backed by anything except them saying it because the report isn’t available and even within the spaces this inhabitats I have some inkling as to what way this will go after the a whole lot of respectable institutions have chided germany over their handling of the reflamed israel/palestine war

      Give it 6 months and nobody is going to be able to ignore it.

      Especially if China single handedly humiliates Trump into ending tariffs on other countries by just refusing to engage.

    The dedication to free speech, by allowing the AfD to point out the true fact, that Muslims are not human. Shows that European Democracy is in good hands in Germany, even once the AfD takes control of the government.
