In friggin believeable. The New Normal has arrived.
Does C.J. Hopkins live in Germany or are the Nazi Germans trying to get at him while he lives in America?
Would the correct German response be "Ficken sie."?
This is the same country that once executed a man for telling a joke.
If it had been a hammer and sickle emblem, would he be up on charges?
They keep denying they are the fourth reich while acting like the fourth reich.
If it quacks like a duck it is a duck.
All FReepers ought post an image insulting of a German minister…right above a Brandon image.
My wife and I were legal residents in Germany for several decades, she longer than I, though I worked in more European nations than did she. One does some "hoop jumping" for the Aufenhalttitel which had periodic renewals. I felt the "time" was coming when it would become uncomfortable to remain there, given American sensibilities to be outspoken. Our notion of "free speech" does not exist there.
Given the fact -- easily demonstrated -- that the National Socialists were "anti-capitalist" and styled themselves as Aryan socialists, it had been a triumph of the socialists to construct the myth that this form of anit-capitalism and Aryan socialism was "on the right."
When all the socialisms, plural, are gathered together, National socialism and WWII Italian fascism cluster properly with Soviet socialism and Sino-socialism, as well as the smaller "evils" like the Khmer Rouge.
When we retired, we chose to return to the states. Clearly in my mind, this sort of thing -- the Hopkins affair of which Taibbi writes -- was for me a clear premonition.
The same holds true for the coalition parties currently toying with the notion of banning Alternative fĂĽr Deutschland from participation in elections. Casting them as "right wing" while propping up National socialism as right wing, though it was anti-capitalist, would be a triumph for "it can happen here" again.
This seems a worldwide problem in the moment, with the overt socialists in the Democrat Party, as well as in media and academia, being our peculiar form of the same temptation -- to make others "vermin" as pre-WWII Jews were seen. As today's "unvaccinated" are sometimes seen. As those who would express MAGA are deemed "domestic terrorists" by an American political party currently in power.
While the Hopkins affair is relatively small, a few thousand Euros fine, it is a premonition of what can come.
The correction will also come, and actually in underway. Inner city collapses are showing the socialists' "emperor has no clothes," naked to been. Some form of this needs repeating in many ways and many venues.
The Germans just can’t help themselves.
How do Germans tie their shoes?
in little nazi’s.
Many years ago there was an American that sold Nazi stuff from the U.S. and the Germans didn’t like it because some Germans were buying through the mail, the guy went on a trip to somewhere like Holland and the Germans nabbed him, and took him to Germany to face charges.
I never saw what became of him.
Is Germany reopening the Auschwitz concentration camp?
Just a technical note: There are no jury trials in Germany. Single judge or panel of judges.
