I wonder, are the empty seats photoshopped though?

Seriously, is there a bestoflemmy or something fitting to link this?

You gotta give it to them. It is kinda smart. I mean, they target people who can pay huge sums anonymously.

Exactly. Democracy is famously the only system which allows to be dismantled through its own tools. That is why the German system is called “Wehrhafte Demokratie” (defensive democracy) to not end up like the Weimar Republic.

I, as a German myself, see the need to call out their obvious intentions as drastic and crystal clear as necessary. They are currently testing how far they can stretch the legal system as there seems to be nobody there able to stop them. Paraphrasing legal eagle a bit here.

Nazis everywhere are doing the same thing. Look at the AfD streching everything that can be said or done by politics, slowly turning the weapons put in place to protect democracy against itself.

Also, do you have any idea what is happening to those people that aren’t guilty of anything in those prisons? And the reason why they are not returned is what exactly? The millions of dollars the dictator gets for taking “care” of them sure doesn’t seem to be any leverage to making sure the innocent prisoners are kept alive and well. This is what they want, getting away with deporting people never to be seen again.

It seems like you are not very well informed about what is going on at the moment. They are flying people out of the country never to be seen again. To another country’s notorious prison with the world’s self-proclaimed “coolest dictator”. And they claim they cannot get them back even though being ordered by courts to do so.

That and being taught that over-confidence helps overcoming the shortcomings of lacking knowledge. That’s how they got into their positions in the first place.

You mean people that don’t have any logical arguments, thus only try to insult others and start left-wing in-fighting instead of trying to do something productive? I see your point.

That’s not at all what we are saying. You seem way too emotional, might be a good idea to take a step back and not start artificial fights with someone you basically agree with… I don’t feel empathy for these people at all. De-humanizing is simply put counter-productive, as it puts a shadow where a light should be, and that is how those people are influenced to become this way, thus clarifying what goes wrong in society and eliminating the root cause by pointing it out every step of the way.

Couldn’t have said it better.

De-humanization is their schtick, so let’s not sink to their level.

What does it matter to Russia/any other country if their fall guy falls? The damage is done and they still have plausible deniability.

No wonder the bear attacked the man. He’s so hungry that his belly is even see through.

Yeah like “underaged sex workers”? No such thing. It’s “sex trafficked minors”.

That’s Landolf Ladig umm Mister Höcke for you.

Edit: I just realized that might need some explanation: https://jurios-de.translate.goog/2021/06/16/wer-ist-landolf-ladig-afd-landeschef-bjoern-hoecke-verklagt/?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp

After all, who is better at whitewashing than Nazis?

My first though was sunken cost phallacy, but then again maybe it’s in the nature of authority-obiding jobs to attract people who, well, would love to live in an authoritarian regime. Life is simple and structured this way.
