Speaking of interesting foreign media, Juha Sipilä, the Prime Minister of Finland, commenting the Chemnitz dropped some daring remarks yesterday, that

- the unrest stems from uncontrolled immigration especially 2015-2016 and the results thereof

- most of the immigrants were on the move for economic reasons, not to escape war or personal danger

- the fear that the immigrants might include terrorists, or people who radicalize while here, may be substantiated

- the participants of the Chemnitz demonstrations visibly included lots of regular citizens, and weren't manufactured by the far right

- silencing is the worst way to address these difficult questions (posing his own multi-level pan-European "big vision" yadda yadda solution)

It's peculiar because as a center-leftist Sipilä has been one of the biggest supporters of immigration. Someone who personally caused a wave of immigration to Finland by promising to house refugees in his own house while visiting some Arab country - which was picked up by the local media there. Interesting discussions are likely to be had next week.

The imitation of the West in Central/Eastern Europe (outside of Russia) is still ongoing just as it was in the 90ies. What some might not realise is that they're still trying to imitate the West in the 90ies, whereas the West in 2018 has changed substantially, and not always to the better. A whole lot of people in Western Europe, too, would like their countries to be more similar to their imitated 90ies versions.

I agree that it's very difficult for established parties, e.g. "cuckservatives", to regain the trust of the population burned by the immigration crisis. People aren't fed up with merely immigration, but the "European values" enforced by the EU, which used to mean one thing, but between 90ies and 2018 were amended with clauses such as "no borders" and cultural marxism. The other thing is that if the established conservatives would say "okay that immigration thing was bad, we've learned from it, let's go back the way things were", then their prospective voters simply wouldn't believe them.

I believe the future lies in new parties that aren't part of the establishment, that the leftist media and D&D don't necessarily like, but who are setting hard limits with regards to how far right they are willing to go, to alleviate the fears of people who fear they want them dead.

Assuming the nazification of Sachsen keeps going for another decade or two and the Nazis actually gain power, what can the Bundesregierung do about it? Like, if the Landesregierung orders the police to put investigations into Nazi crimes on lowest priority. Can the federal government sanction a Landesregierung for that? I'm sure Sachsen would collapse in a matter of weeks without the gravy train from the West, but is there a legal mechanism to do that?

IANAL, but Article 37 of the Basic Law is about just that possibility:

quote:

(1) Wenn ein Land die ihm nach dem Grundgesetze oder einem anderen Bundesgesetze obliegenden Bundespflichten nicht erfüllt, kann die Bundesregierung mit Zustimmung des Bundesrates die notwendigen Maßnahmen treffen, um das Land im Wege des Bundeszwanges zur Erfüllung seiner Pflichten anzuhalten.
(2) Zur Durchführung des Bundeszwanges hat die Bundesregierung oder ihr Beauftragter das Weisungsrecht gegenüber allen Ländern und ihren Behörden.

It’s really vague tho, and only works as long as the offending party isn’t widespread and powerful enough to blockade the Bundesrat. No idea if there’s any other gesetzliche Bestimmungen beyond that.

Well, we could send in the Bundeswehr to mow down everyone with machine guns. Maybe bomb the Sächsisch Landtag with some Taurus cruise missiles (otherwise those things will never see any use, anyway).

I mean, if things escalate far enough, that could happen. :shrug:

Then the Bundesregierung can just set-up a "Interimsregierung" without any Nazis


Edit:

This could happen because the Bundeswehr has this weird thing written in their Auftrag somewhere saying they can just do a coup to replace "Undemocratic" Regierungen. So for example, the Bundeswehr can just go "Nope" and clear out the Bundestag if Nazis gain power again. I don't remember this exactly word for word, but if the generals leading the Bundeswehr have the balls, they can just straight up ignore the government if it is undemocratic enough for them.

Okay here's the thing about regular citizens protesting.

If you join the Nazis in their protest, you're actively supporting them. If you allow the Nazis to join your protest, you're actively supporting them. If you don't distance yourself from the Nazis protesting the same issue one street over, you're actively supporting them. If you pick up the Nazis' language in your protest, you're actively supporting them.

This is because it's explicitly their goal to get regular citizens to join them, to walk with regular citizens, to have regular citizens protesting the same issue alongside them, and to establish their language and ideas among regular citizens.

You have to find a way to protest your issues without supporting Nazis. That's harder than just joining them when it looks like they're already protesting your issue. But you still do not support Nazis ever.

Dude, this is what the police in Sachsen has been doing for 30 years now, they don't need anyone to force their hand. If they had actually tried to stamp out this poo poo back in the 90s we wouldn't be where we are now. The limp response (or looking away) to actual crimes committed by extremists back in the day plus the lack of effort in trying to fight all sorts of organisations such as Jugendclubs, football clubs etc becoming infested with rightwing thought lead to a scenario where the extreme right could push their views without being challenged for many years.

I'm sure the polite Opa in a Opajacke talking about being moslemized/colonized/exploited by the EU in a state that has almost no immigrants and is being kept alive by EU and federal subsidies has legitimate concerns. Is the EU colonizing its member states with young, verile Moslems? We just don't know! Nobody knows. Could be. Couldn't be not. But it's worth discussing this, so both sides can bring forth their arguments and research on the topic.

I agree with this.

However what if one of the things people are fed up with, *is* the guilt by association and being judged by the actions of others, even if the only connection is that they both share things they don't like? Who exactly should they be handing the power of judgement over what's supposedly the appopriate way to protest? Even if they bent over backwards in banishing every whiff of the far right present, I'm sure some people ITT would never consider the protest the slightest bit more appopriate. Handing the power of judgement over one's own actions to their political opponents can be pretty ridiculous. Would antifa consider changing their associations with literal communists because some neo-Nazi tells them so? Can the government really say "you are not allowed to protest this thing, because there may be nazis who may also protest this thing"?

What's interesting is that the defiance of such rule by ordinary people *did in fact* take place. Unless you really think the protest consisted of literally only neo-Nazis, then regular people indeed factually defied this rule, en masse. The people who would judge them were either on the same march, or the same people who enabled the problem being protested in the first place. The Overton window in Germany, the established rules of what is considered publically appopriate or not, is clearly slipping. That's what is putting the politicians and media in such a conundrum, even outside Germany.

For those who are at work: This video shows some of the lovely citizens of Chemnitz chanting things like „Ausländer raus!“, „Wir sind die Fans - Adolf Hitler Hooligans!“ and „Wer, wenn nicht wir? Wann, wenn nicht jetzt? Nationaler Sozialismus jetzt, jetzt, jetzt!“

Everybody involved in this is a Nazi, and I mean that in the 100% bonafide, no-hyperbole, historically correct sense of the word. Everybody who didn’t identify as a Nazi before, marched along with them and didn’t book it the millisecond they started chanting that poo poo is a Nazi. Everybody who claims that these are just concerned citizens with a few bad apples mixed in is either a raging idiot or a Nazi (but I repeat myself). Hope this helps.
