Sounds fucked ngl but is that some organized crime related thing? At least that’s what it says in the article.

I don’t understand what you mean with „none of that applies“.
Regarding the culture blabla that’s the exact same narrative that we heard about the Russian-Germans and Yugoslavian in the 90s, about the Spanish, Turkish, Italian, Polish people in the 60s and literally German refugees after WW2.
Just because you keep repeating it it won’t become true.
Edit: you seem to be in the US? Wtf do you know about the situation in Sweden or Germany? You say you have family and go there every year. Good for you but if you’d actually live here you’d know the situation isn‘t like Fox News tells you or whatever hillbilly news you consume.
They say the same about Germany but my actual problems have nothing to do with some poor fuckers not wanting to be bombed or jailed & tortured. These problems include an underfunded education system, decades old and fucked up infrastructure, lack of digitalization, a collapsing pension system, an overwhelmed public health system, climate change, and much more.
The whole migration trope appeared out of nowhere again like a year ago, just before the genocide in Gaza started dominating all news. My biggest problem at that time was that the fucking bus is not coming and that it takes forever to get a doctor’s appointment and by now I’m pretty sure that all of this migration panic is some Russian psy-ops.
No we’re just doing something to address the feelings of the German population that is suffering from ever increasing brain rot, all while we ignore our actual problems such as an underfunded education system, decades old and fucked up infrastructure, lack of digitalization, a collapsing pension system, an overwhelmed public health system, climate change, and much more.

This has a high enough chance to target AFD voters, approved.
I think it’s an interesting thought, but I also don’t think there’s such a thing like the „right“ timezone.
In Germany there’s some kind of cult that thinks GMT+1 is the god given timezone and a such „natural“, but in reality that just means that in winter the sun goes down at like 15:30 in Berlin where I live. And for anyone working in an office this means you go to work when it’s dark and you come back home when it’s dark, whereas if we would just stay at GMT+2 at least when going home there would be some rays of light still.
I think in the map you can rather see the division between northern and Southern/Mediterranean countries, because people in Mediterranean countries stay out longer and it’s just a cultural thing.
Well unfortunately the Overton window has shifted so far to the right that inhumane positions have become so normalized that indeed a majority of Germans have become bigoted xenophobes.
I don’t know what to say to your whole thing about pictures in swimming pool and immigrants. I‘ve been to all the big clubs in Berlin and they also have all kinds of tolerance statements in their party descriptions and on the walls inside the clubs that also talk about no means no and that you can’t grope anyone. The party audience is mostly white and mostly from western countries, yet this is there. Do I now conclude that all white westerners have a problem with harassing people? That’s just ridiculous.
I’ve lived in the Netherlands btw and it seemed very popular among locals to trash German cars, break their windows, slash their tires, spray shit like „Germans out“ on cars or walls. Do I now conclude that Dutch people are all racist? Again that would be ridiculous.
My point is, your opinions are based on diffuse feelings and not on actual data („crime is getting worse“) or logical conclusions („there are posters in swimming pools, therefore immigrants harrass women“).
All I can say is that I live in Berlin right now and everything is fine. I know Ukrainians who speak fuck all German, I know Syrians who I’d never believe they’re not born here because their German is perfect. I also know it the other way around. But the point is anecdotes like these usually come from people living in small towns / villages and it seems to be because people aren’t used to the diversity and they get most of their information from the media.
In the 70s/80s the inner cities of places like Berlin, Cologne & Hamburg were full of drugs, pimps and gang violence. No one wanted to live there, they literally called Cologne Chicago am Rhein. Needless to say the pimps & gang were all ethnic Germans.
In the 90s Kottbusser Tor was one of the no go zones where you were likely to be robbed if you weren’t from the Kiez. Had to know people. Now it’s a tourist hotspot and there’s nothing comparable to what it was like back in the day. That’s btw not just my feeling but crime statistics point in the same direction. Just one example out of many. If you didn’t grow up in this mess you have no idea how safe it is in 2024, no matter what the media or politics tell you.
Hard agree but that’s completely irrelevant in this context.
You seem to be whining a lot (typical right wing thing to do) and bring up democracy and being wrongly called a bigot and blabla, but this is an online messaging board, you don’t have to comment here.
You’re free to go to any other place. Also, the mods don’t have to leave your comment up because freedom of speech is a thing in countries, not privately run message boards.
You complain about not being able to express yourself yet your comments are up here. If a comment gets deleted, there’s a mod log.
Yeah I wanted to give you the benefit of the doubt but you’re apparently just another right wing troll and I’m tired of that, one of the reasons I left Reddit and it’s always a pain in the ass when people like you arrive. I was only waiting for the part you’re treating 1.5bn Muslims as a monolith and here we are. You’re full of shit.
Did you read the article? It doesn’t talk about one specific year and covers also the period after “the Syrian influx”. Far right terrorism consistently beats Islamist terrorism both in terms of frequency and lethality.
Regarding your second point it would just help reading the article that I linked. You may believe that you’re informed but still your feeling goes against hard facts. You asked for statistics, we gave you statistics, you still refuse to change your mind so I don’t see any point continuing this conversation.
And water makes you wet. Doesn’t change that the far right is our biggest threat, which is something you deny.
Yeah here you go: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/06/terrorism-far-right-white-supremacists-911-us
The guy from Norway, the guy in New Zealand, the guys in Germany were all nazi shooters mowing down immigrants. But politics and media call them lone wolfs or disoriented kids and it has nothing to do with their nazi manifestos vs if they’re Muslim it’s a problem of Islam as a whole.
I don’t blame anyone for actually believing that Islamism is real our biggest threat because media and politics make it seem that way.
Damn I landed here over some other BS post of this account.
Many Europeans know first hand that the streets are less safe than they used to be and which groups are causing it.
I stopped reading after this because I can’t be bothered to read generic hate speech. Whoever says that streets used to be safer is full of shit. Even the areas that people call “no go zones” in Germany 2024 are ridiculously safe compared to what they used to be. I’m a peaceful person but I was involved in tons of fistfights when I was young, just because you had to.
I grew up in 2 of the largest German cities in the 90s/2000s and spots that are full of tourists nowadays were literal no go zones if you didn’t know people because you’d just get robbed. All of this became less common during the 2000s and since the 2010s it’s not a thing anymore.
No time to read the rest of the post but I’m sure it’s just more lies.
The far right is still the biggest problem we have. Needless to say this was a horrible incident and no one wants fucking Isis around, but far right terrorism is still a much bigger threat to our society.
I suggest starting with the Wikipedia Article on Axel Springer to understand what’s wrong with them. If you already know and you don’t care that explains a lot, but judging from the votes and the comments, most other people also don’t find your article interesting. That together with your style of communication are really not contributing a lot here. Posting ≠ contributing.
I mean you being condescending isn’t exactly contributing to the culture here and maybe it’s contributing more to not post low quality content than posting just for the sake of it.
Yeah I’d lie if I’d say I didn’t see that one coming.
