4 days agoMüller apparently forgot about crusades and witch hunts (among others).
Hell, no reason to go that far back. George W Bush was calling it a crusade as he waltzed into Iraq.

Surprising nobody.
284·9 days agoI mean Zionism’s core tenet is literally Make Israel Great Again so that’s probably not a coincidence. Interfascist solidarity also counts for a lot here.
What everyone else said and also Iran is already sanctioned by the EU, and even if it wasn’t the threat of US secondary sanctions is more than enough to keep 99% of international businesses from touching the country. If anything the EU shouldn’t have fallen in line with US foreign policy again.
Man Haaretz is pissed.
Social media algorithms are bad, but quick reminder that Hitler and Mussolini didn’t need algorithms to overthrow democracy. The root problem here is either capitalism or neoliberalism depending on how radical you wanna get, and at the very least the latter has to go yesterday.
Or, differently put: You can’t just pick out a random signifier, such as “Muslim”, and expect the numbers to tell you much.
It’s a good shorthand that allows us to see what, say, Germans think of an archetypical Other.
It’s also important to distinguish anti-immigration vs. anti-immigrant sentiment. Especially in the East with its overall low percentage of foreigners (which, yet, grew much faster than it ever did in the west so people had less time to get used to it), it’s often “we don’t want more” in unison with “we really like Hasan he’s the only one raising the village’s flag on Sunday, the only place where you can go, and he makes really good food”.
My dude don’t try to convince me that “ban Muslim immigration” and “we really like Hasan” are compatible statements except in a “he’s one of the good ones” kind of way. “We don’t want more” can only come from someone who believes immigrants are a problem that needs to be solved.
Pleasantly surprised tbh.
They’re not; I don’t think far-right followers are closely following American politics or even know that Trump is a far-right leader. What Trump ripoff fans do think is “I want those undesirables out of my country,” and while Europe is more egalitarian than America in many ways Europeans are in general pretty racist.
I’ll probably get downvoted to hell because this is c/Europe(maybe not), but I mean take a look at this shit:According to a study in 2018 by Leipzig University, 56% of Germans sometimes thought the many Muslims made them feel like strangers in their own country, up from 43% in 2014. In 2018, 44% thought immigration by Muslims should be banned, up from 37% in 2014.[26]
And this is in 2018, with Muslim migrants taking up less than 7% of the population. And before anyone says anything about crime, that’s rightwing propaganda and exactly what I’m talking about. Migrants, Muslim or not, aren’t more likely to commit crimes and immigration isn’t linked to increased crime rates. It’s not a surprise at all that the far-right is making headways in Europe to be honest.
So they’re trying to deport them before/without any semblance of due process. That’s… fucking ridiculous, to say the least, and speaks to the extent of either anti-Palestinian crackdowns or the lack of respect for the rule of law in general in Germany. Neither is exactly a good thing.
Those 4 people which are very loud in the media right now are being deported for being part in a violent occupation of a university where staff was threatened with axes and crowbars, property damage of 100.000€, and trying to liberate people arrested by the police.
Yeah that’s not a crime unless they did these things themselves, which isn’t the case; they were just peacefully taking part in the protest where these things happened, but they’re not even accused of taking part in these actions. Here’s the same event by the Intercept.
None of the protesters are accused of any particular acts of vandalism or the de-arrest at the university. Instead, the deportation order cites the suspicion that they took part in a coordinated group action.
And from the (machine translated version of the) article you linked:
These only contain brief descriptions of the crime and with regard to what happened at the FU, the contributions to the crime are not individually assigned to the people affected.
To repeat: These students are not even accused of committing the crime for which they’re being deported.
Stares at chat control, anti-end to end encryption stuff and crackdowns on pro-Palestinian protesters I think Europe has a bit of a way to go before claiming that title.
No detention centres await foreign students who hold the wrong views on Gaza; news outfits are not sued for interviewing opposition politicians.
Immigrants are getting deported for those wrong views, though, so… yeah.
Italians (and other Romance language speakers) order their words right; it’s anglophones who are heathens. Imagine needing to listen to something being described as expensive, long, sharp, French and red before you can finally learn that it’s a knife.
Totally unbiased take here
I’m not saying that they all do (I’m one of them), but that the ones that do (so informants and the like, like the man in the article) are scum of the Earth.
People from autocratic countries ruining democracy for people in democratic countries.
Man, people like this are just so infuriating and pathetic. Imagine leaving your dictatorial country to a democracy just to ruin it for people there.
Man why is it that whenever I find my country on a list it’s always for stuff like this? I mean it’s deserved but still.
Where can I vote for you for president of the world?
That’s an amazing idea. Geopolitically the EU benefits from a divided US anyway so it’s not like they have a reason to worry about the maintaining status quo.
