Societal collapse?

Thank you for sharing that leedswolf.
I had not realised there was a longer though brief video and it was not just a short thing. We are moving quickly towards being ruled by maniac wealth hoarding oligarchs and voluntarily being controlled online.

Over here in the far west of Germany there remains a deeply ingrained awareness of a few things in this respect. On my part, my awareness comes from having lived for a couple of years in each of Köln and Berlin and having been based here near Trier for the last twenty years while on my travels employed in International Schools. I don't claim to have the whole story.
Overall and unlike say, the UK, there is a wish to look forward rather than backwards. With respect to the 1930s and 1940s a minority of people are prepared to talk quietly with trusted friends at the right time and in the right place. There is, of course, a great divide between those who were educated about the nation's 'common guilt' and those who weren't - that's generally speaking a Western/North Eastern divide apart from West Berlin. Meanwhile, the younger generations in the west in particular want to move forward as democratically inclined citizens who can be proud of their country's achievements including the economic miracle of the post war period.
The AFD supporters are generally recognised as being not very well educated, not very bright, 'chip on their shoulder' MAGA types who are being rabble roused by opportunists, just like in the USA and UK.
There's a general feeling that the good times are over though or as the locals say, 'vorbei'.

I love Germany and agree with most that you say, but things like this don't help the cause to keep racists out of power.

At least we know where you are getting your opinions from. I am calling this out as a conspiracy theory.
 
Not at all, I was told by German friends about the case and they despise AFD. I looked up the event in English, so it can be put up on here.
Put it up them. Only English version I could find was on an aggregator site that just reported the original article from a discredited “news” site that pushes this sort of stuff.

Here it says about no prison sentence and that he was on his way to being a good German citizen. It goes on to talk about other cases of German girls being raped, but not getting prison sentences.

I welcome the engagement but don't have time or the will for a deep conversation on this one.
I did look up the first source though which was the 'free speech union'. This was founded by a far right politician called Toby Young who has been allegedly widely discredited on eugenics, free schools, cocaine consumption, sexism, racism and homophobia. The second source is 'Bild' which is a complete and utter simplistic rag on the level of The Sun.
I might have time to look into this further as on the surface it looks bad as an action against both the alleged rapist and the accuser, but... thoughts for the 15 year old victim should come first.
By the way, I am not blind to the alleged actions of different sub groups resident in Germany, for example there was a scandal not so long ago about the behaviour of certain male groups around outdoor swimming pools in Trier with another one being the mass assault on New Year's Eve in front of the main railway station and the cathedral in Cologne.
There are though many people with an agenda and it's not always a civilised one aimed at human progress.
 
You go to setting at the top of the youtube page of the video, go to captions and then translate to English.
What WellenWolf said. You are so desperate to prove your point you’ll believe anything that serves your agenda…but if you want to be quoting far-right racist sources to back up your point, that’s on you.

Bild isn't far right. The story is true and my point was the German far right have gained votes from the inaction of a judge not to give a prison sentence to a 30 year old man who raped at 15 year old girl.
My point is the extreme right make electoral gains out of cases like this and I stand by it.

And I stand by the fact that it probably isn’t true.

Bild is a tabloid rag that doesn’t care much for facts and is likely reporting the original, and unverified, source from a far right, racist, populist website (which you linked to) and that website was quoting another far right website.

These websites, click bait sites, print lies for idiots to believe. You have not been able to provide any corroborating evidence, despite saying you could (in English) but you “stand by it”.

I looked for corroboration for the story about the Syrian rapist and the linked Paul S and other than stories that can be linked back to the original uncorroborated source…there is nothing in any reputable news media. But you “stand by it”. You’re the problem.

The story is common knowledge in Germany. I have now spoken to 5 different Germans. 3 are left or green and 2 are centre right. I have been told that the AFD have gained votes and are using this story politically. I have read about the story in 4 different media groups and have been told that AFD demonstrated about the case.
I am not sure how you think that the location of the crime, the town where the court case was held and the date could all be invented and yet no German media outlet denies the story. Surely if it was made up, major German news outlets would be all over it?

Here you have a translation from the court documents that were in the original story. Printing falsified Court documents in one of the Europe's biggest media outlets would mean serious consequences in German law.

About the email insulting the judge.


The Wiesbaden public
prosecutor's office accuses you
of having insulted another
person in Mainz on March 4,
2023. On March 4, 2023 at
around 5:33 p.m., you sent an
email to the head of the authority
using the email address from the
IP address to the mailroom of
the Osnabrück District Court. In
this email, you expressed your
incomprehension about the
acquittal and defamatory
described the judge, the vice
president of the Osnabrück
District Court, who had acquitted
a defendant who had been
accused of rape, as "obviously
mentally disturbed.
-----------------------------------------------
The fine.


At the request of the public
prosecutor, a fine of 100
daily rates will be imposed on
you. The amount of a daily rate
is set at 50.00 euros. You must
bear the costs of the
proceedings and your necessary
expenses.

-----------------------------

I am not too sure what your problem is. I said that AFD were using this case to gain votes, which is worrying. I am not sure how that makes me the problem?

Yet there is still no corroboration. No reports in the media of AfD or any other group protesting about this. No reputable reports of it in the news media, let alone denials…but it is so well known. How can something so well known be so unreported…unless there is nothing to report.

So far, your corroboration is one story from a far right fringe “news site” that has been repeated by a handful of other fringe weirdos and the rag that is Bild. There is absolutely no mainstream reporting of this because it didn’t happen. And people like you repeat it as fact so often that you believe it without even questioning the origin.

I believe it because I have been told it by numerous people. As Bild did run with that story and is a huge German media company, if it were incorrect, it would have been countered by both other media outlets and politicians. I can't find anything saying it isn't true,, which you would have thought you would be able to, if it wasn’t.
I will leave it there.

You can’t find anything except dubious right wing outlets…

You do remember all the fake news stories that circulated after the Southport murders and how many idiots believed it because it was on the internet or because friends told them.

Remember that? That’s you that is.
