Holy crap. Even adjusting for "governments are evil" this is over the top. I'm used to the slightly less ridiculous stuff in the US, but there doesn't even seem to be a pretense here of "protection" or any of the other things usually used to rationalize this stuff.

It's getting worse indeed. The atmosphere on the streets is getting worse too, and it has been pretty bad for a couple of decades to begin with.
I was holding out in a nice little village in East Frisia not too long ago and there it was still civil though, unlike what I've been seeing in the Ruhr Area, and Frankfurt has been rather shocking. I guess the Frisian stoic attitude works well and one can just not give a fuck.
Censorship doesn't apply to Muslims since Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance
News to me, but I'm glad I know this because now next time when someone wants to rob me I will not have to ask what their religion is before they stab me. Saves time.
This is only possible because Germans either don't care, because they think it won't affect them personally, or they are in favour of such laws, in some cases, just to avoid being labelled as Nazis or racists etc. (the social cost for this is still too high)

Man, those Germans just can't seem to ever not lean into authoritarianism.

Its running low on Interceptors and cannot make anymore because China has blocked supply of the rare earths required to manufacture them.
The 'freedoms' that western imperialist nations boast are only viable when you dominate the global economy and you don't dominate anymore.
The nation state is fundamental to the viability of individual freedoms, wealth ad security.
If everyone just called their local politician ”a dummy” (if he deserves it!) maybe twice a week, sure they wouldn’t have police resources to knock on everybody’s door, right?
People are weak and sheeplike- they demand governments that are their mirror image.
None of you Libertarians virtue signalling hypocrites would last a day without the warm comforting security and infrastructure of the nation state.
