Now this time, actually do something about your collection of far right extremist lunatics that'll put the fear of god into the rest of them worldwide, no matter how much they cry about it.
Left wing extremists should be observed as well.
Left wing terrorism is a much smaller problem in Germany than right wing terrorism.
Doesn't mean that they should get a pass. Looking at Antifa, they are also committing many crimes.
They aren't getting a pass. Also, according to the Verfassungsschutz, 2017 were 19k crimes committed by right wing extremists compared to 6k by left wing extremists. Both sides are *not* equally bad, and right wing extremism needs more attention.
Let them do one group at a time. It is not like Antifa is actively attacking minorities at this time.
The response should be proportionate to the problem, so for every million euros spent on right wing extremists, about 10 pfennigs should be spent on left wing extremists.
Are you implying Antifa get a pass?
Antifa is a reactionary force to right-wing extremism, you decrease right-wing extremism, Antifa decreases on it's own.
How about let's not 'put the fear of god into the rest of them', that is literally the fuel of being 'pushed over by the state'. How about just observing them and doing what is necessary in accordance with the law.
I saw MediocreSpine's comment and while the number of right-winged extremist crimes outweigh the leftist extremist crimes, money should flow to stop both kinds of extremism. But at least more than you suggest here. The problem I have with left-winged extremism is that it "kinda" gets excused more often I feel than right-winged extremism because right-winged is easily more associated with nazism. You are suggesting that only 10 pfennig should be spent into stopping left-winged extremism, despite it being about 3-times lower but still reaching thousands of crimes. Not exactly. But they have been associated with many crimes (like the G20 in Hamburg) while also getting into our Bundestag, making photos with politicians, etc. People who light up shit and attack others shouldn't be given platforms like this.
a reminder: how not to be targeted by fascists: don't be black, queer, foreign, a woman, jewish, muslim, mentally unwell, etc etc how not to be targeted by antifa: don't be a fascist
Borh sides are equal if you look at the actual numbers of crimes that hurt someone. Spraying a swastika, while dumb, doesn't hurt anyone and that's what makes up a huge portion of those 19k
dunno bout you but seeing a swastika tagged somewhere in my town and knowing there's people around who'd gladly kill me given the opportunity isn't exactly harm-free is it
No? Look at assaults: 900 right wing versus 400 left wing.
You would think that after all these years with the NPD and the killiings discovered after some years they would have stepped up the game. Meh, just go directly after them.
people who spray swastikas around are also fairly likely to do a lot more than spray swastikas around if given the opportunity and we don't need that the last time we let something like this run until it was too late, we got nazi germany for our pains.
lol the lowkey nazi apologists in here.
You just literally said that as if you had support by those "numbers". You need to source the shit out of such claims.
Left wing radicals are spraypainting LGBT symbols all over memorials, marching the streets with torches, burning giant gender symbols and threatening me with anti-facist slurs, making me feel unsafe even in my own home for just being born for who I am. As said, the response should be proportionate to the problem. Simple as.
