SINCE GERMANY is so enthusiastic about democracy, they ought to change the name to something like German Democratic Republic/Deutsche Demokratische Republik (GDR/DDR).

Germany is an amazing amazingly stupid place, and I should know, I live in Canada which takes the cake: stupidity, incarnate.

I don't think Germans are stupid; there needs to be a better word for it. They have been "made stupid" as Bonhoeffer stated so well by the propaganda that permeates the world. Indoctrinated, taken by mass formation, influenced by the political undertow of "groupthink."

Echoes of this ridiculousness can be seen around the world. Here in the USA they tried an "Antifa" rebrand, trying to analogize what Antifa does with what anyone who fought against the Nazis in WWII did. LAst I checked, no one in the US or abroad were burning their own buildings and harming their own people during WWII.

"Mostly Peaceful Protests" are riots featuring burning buildings.

"Dangerous Insurrections" are people that break windows and take unsolicited tours of federal buildings.

To be made stupid is first to be weak minded, as many are here in Canada. To wit, 8.8 million weak minded stupid people voted for four more years of failed Marxist Liberal party rule.

Neither Germany nor Canada are inherently stupid, but those in charge of policy are...or they're deliberate saboteurs. Since the level of stupidity is mind-boggling, I believe it is the latter, directed either by foreign nationals (China, Russia, Islam, or all three) and/or western globalists.Basically the entire Earth against middle-class westerners.

Both countries have too many submissive people. Once again their salvation will have to come from the gun-toting cowboys and gangsters of the United States.

I know our author has likely explained such things with great insight, but I think I need to hear it again: WTF does AfD have that makes Antifa so obviously afraid? Whatever it is, I want some of it.

There's a lot of ways to answer this question. To begin with, Antifa aren't reacting organically to perceived threats, they're being funded and organised by major political parties, their apron organisations and NGOs. Antifa get sent out against the AfD, because the AfD is a common cause for the entire German left. A common enemy to rail against has never been more important than now, when the left is increasingly scattered across different issues (Palestine, climate, social justice, etc.). Finally, there's the fact that the AfD is strong and getting stronger, and this threatens prevailing relationships among the establishment parties that keep the left side of the spectrum relevant, in power and paid.

And no-one needs reminding of what communist gangs assaulting other political parties and "the wrong kind of communists" led to a century ago.

I don't there's a question if AfD - with tacit and later open support from police/military - will form Freikorps to guard their representatives in the future.

A large part of the entire idea of Antifa - and I know from personal experience - is to drive the opponent into becoming the scarecrow Antifa claims to be fighting in the first place.

Sooo a plurality of the German electorate is being propagandized against a scapegoated other. How novel.

So, this is liberal fighting liberal?

I was getting confused by the 2 groups fighting each other. It’s very similar to gang wars.

It's not a war if only one side is fighting. If only AfD had its own paramilitary enforcers.

There is significant political power created when a common enemy is named and a campaign organises to amplify the power. Imho

Once enough Germans understand this they will be more likely to support AfD. I only hope when (not if) they take power their leaders remember this violence and thuggery, and serve justice on leftists and their sponsors.

Water cannons, tear gas, rubber bullets, and aiming the clubs at the neck, clavicle and using the stub-end solar plexus.

If Antifa want to protest and wave signs and sing, that's part of freedom of speech.

If Antifa riots, flatten them.

Actually, I'm surprised German police didn't allow Antifa to lynch or beat up AfD-politicians.

Here, when the filth called "Palestinians" and their dhimmi useful idiots hold daily protests, police ignore them assaulting even MPs if they are of the "wrong" party, or appear to be Jews, or just ask the police why they allow the filth to spit at and attack journalists documenting the typically "Palestinian" behaviour.

But I'm willing to lay even odds that next time, German police will allow Antifa to commit murder.

Considering the sheer volume of such electorate candidates and their age, it’s more likely they passed of old age.

I don't know German law but I think it is safe to assume the police has in its guidelines escape clauses that allow them to not act if acting would risk escalating a potentially violent situation.

Swedish police use that clause all the time to not have to do their job vis-a-vis lefties, pedohomos, and moslems when they step out of line. Including when rioting moslems pelt police and ER workers with stones and set fire to ambulances.

I wonder at what point someone will give the commie scum the thrashing that they're begging for. Given what the consequences will be, once it starts, there will be no reason to stop.

The first one is really expensive, but after that, the rest are free. After all, if one is going to be hung for crippling one Antifa psychotic, might as well cripple a hundred of them. They can only hang someone once.

How did Germany get this way? Wasn't Germany mostly considered a bastion of logic and precision, at least in manufacturing? Perhaps if the manufacturers had captured the government agencies like they have in the United States Germany would be better off.

Human beings are driven by incentives. Clearly the status quo of Western democracies rewards monetarily the people who opposes changes (someone smart might even suggests that if you depend economically on the State you shouldn't be allowed to vote due to conflict of interest). the fact that thousands of people have the time and the energy to go and demonstrate means they don't work enough and they live off the system. It is not political passion or idealism at all: it is just protection of unfair entitlements.
