So basically they're still Nazis but they are targeting another group of semites.

The Jewish activist who was arrested was with Jewish Voice for Peace, an anti-Zionist group

They are active in my community as well, very disheartening to see Germany taking this stand

Edit: I don't think it's good to call people Nazis though, not helpful

Cops love fascism. It let's them live out their fantasies of hurting people.

Any country with hate speech laws basically just have those to protect the fascist powers.

Passive, meek and nice people don’t tend to do well in the military/police.

Your job is literally to hurt people when necessary, without hesitation.

It takes a certain type of person to do jobs like that and the thing is… you still need people like that for society to function as it does.

Edit: If you are downvoting at least respond.

If a society requires that kind of person to function, it should be society that is questioned, not people unwilling to abide by it

A benevolent peace loving world where there is no conflict or violence doesn’t exist in the animal kingdom/nature/etc, so why would it exist in human society either?

Has there ever been a society or will there ever be one where spontaneous violence does not break out occasionally? Will there ever be a society where there isn’t someone out there that wants what you have and isn’t afraid to use force to get it?

Maybe there will be, but it won’t be a human society I know that much.

"Humans have a tendency towards violence, and some people will use force to take what they want even in a peaceful world, therefore we need to allow a class of person that has rights above those of a normal citizen whose only job is to brutalize people with very little oversight in the name of making life easier and more organized for white collar parasites"

Flawless, totally not sociopathic thread of logic there bud

There are plenty of examples of countries that don’t have effective law and order. Look at countries in Africa, Mexico, Latin/South America.

People have to resort to vigilante justice and public lynchings in order to get “justice”. They are also extremely violent places, with little to no consequences for violent, if anything they reward violence by being a survival of the fittest situation.

The countries that are the most peaceful have effective law and order where the government provides that mandate to protect citizens from banditry and violence, or at least provided consequences for it. Again it’s not hard to find examples of places that don’t have this and let me give you a hint, they aren’t nice places to live.

The UK has a policy of policing by public consent (Peelian principles based on an ethical police force) and the police are on the whole not militaristic nor thuggish. Of course you get those who are criminal (murderers, rapists, corrupt) and racial profiling still exists, but having moved to Germany from the UK, the difference came as a surprise. The UK has an independent police complaints commission to investigate police brutality and keep oversight, Germany does not. Amnesty has also reported on the erosion of civil liberties in the country.

About 35% of all those arrested for antisemitism in Germany are Jewish.

u/Yuo_cna_Raed_Tihs Apr 14 '24

That's an insane stat if it's true. Do you have a source?

u/Catscoffeepanipuri Apr 12 '24

u/Chevy_jay4 Apr 12 '24

u/Catscoffeepanipuri Apr 13 '24

Yeh, it’s obviously something the isrealies want to hide. But it’s just a fact. Netyaho literally has said some pretty scary stuff on holocaust denial

Considering how they treated their own football player, Mesut Ozil, I am not surprised.

They excuse that behavior by saying he’s an Erdogan supporter. But Germany is the bastion of human rights and liberal democracy in their eyes.
