The weird thing is the Germans legitimately think that they're on the right side of history by arresting protestors, banning demonstrations, cancelling artists and supplying weapons to support a genocide.

I guess some things never change.

Please do differentiate between us and our fucking government.

Why aren't Germans protesting the government? Not about Palestine but about their assault on German citizens' free speech?

So many things come to mind. There are protests. We're in transition right now, this is a brand new government. People are afraid that the alternative (!) is literal, outright Nazis and this is the lesser evil. We've been protesting shit for some months but right now I think everybody's tired. No, these are not "good reasons". I don't even know, man.
