I mean, a fundamental problem in the German state is how many fascists are simply embedded within the security state.
What the Germans are dealing with is a wide-spread network of sleeper cells and fascist sympathizers who present as liberal on paper while endorsing far-right policies in disguise. Everything from the crack down on migrants in the name of religious liberty, the shuttering of nuclear power plants to the benefit of the fossil fuel industry, and the state-led privatization of housing and banking and mass media has congealed the German state into increasingly fascist forms.
Germany is playing a big game of Secret Hitler, and it won't be much longer until some new Hindenburg is handing the reins over to a Millennial Era ultra-nationalist in the name of economic growth and domestic business interests. Same shit happened in Brazil under Bolsonaro not long ago. And Turkey with Erdogan. Same thing is happening in Argentina, Italy, and Hungary.
Protests in the streets are great. But... at some point the goal is to be in a position of power, not simply banging at the gates from the outside.
I'm worried that there's a fixation on the clowns and chuds doing hate parades and an ignorance of the folks already behind a desk who are tearing out the wiring of German democracy.
So, typical establishment liberals?
Just another day in Western Demonocracy.
This is why the media is failing us. Trumps words mean nothing to me. Show us his policy. Show us the GOPs voting records. Not entertaining enough???? Get fucked, I hate you infotainment assholes.
