Less than 10 years ago, Germany, and especially Berlin, was held up as a beacon of openness and inclusivity in a western world rocked by Brexit and Donald Trump. Angela Merkel’s decision to take in thousands of refugees displaced by the war in Syria boosted her country’s reputation in progressive circles, with many international artists and academics choosing to make the German capital their new home.
Yet the conflict in the Middle East is showing Germany in a new light, highlighting fissures in society and the arts world that until now had been easier to ignore.
Free speech should not include inciting violence or hatred. Germany is well aware of the negative impacts that unchecked incitement leads too. It’s interesting to see how they’re walking this line in the face of the competing political forces in the country but it’s good to see people standing up against hate in general.
This you?
Yup. Free speech should be free. Ai monitoring known terrorists is how one remains a free society. Looks like the US needs to invest in the technology and deploy it on campuses ATM.
I wonder if they would do that against zionist terrorists attacking protestors rn. Even the police isn’t responding so it’s highly unlikely US will implement this.
Nah, those heros are just standing their ground. They’re entitled to be on campus, bigoted pro hamasians trying to force them out crying about losing the fight they started is hilarious given it’s a mirror of what the Palestinians have been doing since they were invented in the 60s.
Bonus points because they’re purportedly Iranian too 🤣.
I know a white supremacist when I see one. Enjoy being blocked
LMFAO. I’m pretty brown dude. Kinda Mediterranean from the Eastern side y’know. But ya, you white Western saviours sure are helping.
