Germany has persecuted more jews for political reasons this past year than for the past five decades. But yeah sure why not.
I tried looking this up but I couldn't find anything. What source are you referring to exactly? I'm probably searching wrong
The same shit hole that is deporting pro Palestinian protestors? The same shit hole which their neo nazi party is polling #1? Lol okay sure.
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.
Liberalism has ruined the word "democracy" by making it about vibes and process over actual democratic outcomes.
Why is this not in fakenews or badposting?
Slop would be fitting too
The nation that once unleashed two world wars
Are we still blaming them for WW1? 
I hate Germans so much that yes I blame them for world war 1 even though I know it wasn’t their fault
Heck I still stay up at night regretting the Norman invasion of 1066. I didn't even want Britain
Serbs always getting a free pass!
what if a serbian guy was austro-german?
because of woke
yeah if you ignore China, the actual world leader
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.
I'm so fucking done with this "democracy" bullshit
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.
“Muslims are Nazis” ~ euro 🤡
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
We're dropping in the burger index?!
Germany today not only scores an impressive 95 out of 100 on the Freedom House index
i haven't looked at the Freedom House index but damn it must be total and utter dogshit
Edit: oh god it is total and utter dogshit
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.
i thought it was isntreal, what happened
Germany is the only democracy in Europe
Shizrael gets to participate in that European music festival competition that's exclusively for European countries. As far as I'm concerned, germany's stealing the spotlight.
- Australia
"Exclusively for European countries" it's a bit more complicated than that, technically it's about countries that are (partially) covered by this area:
The boundaries of the European Broadcasting Area have their origin in the regions served and linked by telegraphy cables in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The European Broadcasting Area plays a part in the definition of eligibility for active membership in the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and thus participation in the Eurovision Song Contest. As of February 2022, the European Broadcasting Union has 66 members from 55 countries, 31 associates from 20 countries, and 8 approved participants.
Australia is one of the associate members and got to participate for an anniversary, but for whatever reason they stuck. Morocco participated once in the 1980's, where they placed second to last. Reasons for the lack of Arab countries are probably lack of interest, the participation of Israel and cold reception by Europeans.
Damn HexeBear has the best emojis
I remember these exact headlines during Trump’s first term.
oh please
Yikes
Headline is a bit misleading as a majority of the post is about the United States descent in to trump-based authoritarianism. Less is said about Germany beyond the first paragraph.
Uh. That just happened
