Speaking for myself, words can’t even begin to express the outrage and resentment I feel at having an official account of the GERMAN government purport to lecture the US Secretary of State on the need to spy on and censor the political opposition. And no, Germany, you can’t hide behind smug references to what you’ve learned from “your” history. As you may recall, it’s “our” history too, as we played a pretty important role in ending that particular chapter in your history. And it’s “my” history too, as my own father was forced to flee his native Vienna after the Anschluss (and became an American citizen and proudly fought in the US Army to liberate Europe). He didn’t flee as a result of TOO MUCH free speech; he fled because those who believed in spying on and censoring political opponents were in charge.
You may choose to brand your own citizens as “rightwing extremists” and silence or jail them because, for instance, they oppose open borders. But please spare us the moralizing.
@CastLead84@oliredet Perhaps it's because, in such conversations, every word and nuance can make a difference if not fully understood. Even native speakers might struggle with certain sentence structures to grasp everything completely.
@Pat25R09@Pat25R09 Regel Nummer 1 im Business: man beißt nicht die Hand die einen füttert (zahlende Kundschaft). Mach' halt zukünftig Kalifats-Hochzeiten. Wechsle besser den Job und werf' Dich auf den Boden.
@BMFSFJ @lisapaus Ich kann nicht mehr zur Tagesordnung übergehen, wenn eine grüne Ministerin nach einem Massenmord an Israelis und der grössten Welle antisemitischer Kundgebungen in Deutschland eine Gleichsetzung mit "antismuslimisch" machen kann, ohne das Amt räumen zu müssen.
