Laughing at the incredibly high amount of people shocked at Merkel's reaction - i wonder if all of these people actively tried fighting the tightening of the Asylrecht/refugee right, or just sat back and watched

And what a lovely shade of mint it is too

looks like huge soap

Sending them back and letting them die wherever is pretty okay but don't make them cry on German soil.

that said this emotionalizes the conflict so maybe this will mobilize idiots, the most coveted resource of a democratic society

[I3uster]

you were literally the reason i said that

i just knew you were going to parachute in that thread at any moment

i must prevent a tragedy

[Lace]

I wouldnt overestimate those idiots

pretty sure most of them rather see this as Merkel being 'cruel' and 'unempathetic' than something they should personally reflect on

[SeiKeo]

The tragedy is Europe.

[Lace]

The tragedy is your face tbh

that was irony dont hit me

[Strife ❤️]

You're right there. It really isn't very funny at all.

[I3uster]

Sorry I was having dinner.

the real tragedy is linguistic demagogy imo

That's supremely effective in Germany and Austria though because of how people are socialized to think of right-wing groups and actually engaging them on an ideological level would make it seem kind of uncomfortable for mid-right parties and the visible ideological overcuts. so just call them nazis lol it will make them go away

Also you can get them surveyed and potentially made illegal. so in a way you can make them go away just not in a way a democratic society really should

[SeiKeo]

What tipped you off?

Its not institutionalized racism if you dont talk about it

Just send a prayer and pray it away

[I3uster]

At the bbc? ;-)

Edit: and yeah buster we did the same until twenty or so years ago. There's still some of it but now it's preferred if you actually say why something is bad instead of saying Mussolini liked it

I hope that happens here too but I can't see it happening without the laws changing and good luck trying to vote this through, it's the like passing the pedophile serial offender automatic pediatrician qualification act.

it cant get significantly worse guys the fpös already cracking #2 pretty much everywhere

[kay4today]

The toilet paper will also be made out of pages of Ayn Rand's novels.

implying she wouldnt like it

hitler would've liked the changes!11!!1

[I3uster]

well yes because the changes would make nazi symbology and ideology legal

thats why if you want to be an anti-semite in germany or austria you have to distance yourself from nazis and its all okay

[Sinon]

How do you do that without people calling you nazi tho?

[I3uster]

What people call you and what you are in the eyes of the law are two different things.
