Why can't the EU just play the Valve card, and just do nothing and win? Fucking do nothing rather than this shit.

Because much of the EU ended up loving fascism and nazism after they tasted it in the 1940s. Germany and France, first and second country occupied, most curious.

In truth the UK is ahead of all of the rest. In becoming fascist.

Yeah but they also insisted so much on not being part of the EU...

Can you stop spreading disinformation? Germany is nothing as it used to be.

Man not even Romania has the level of neo-nazism that is currently present in germany. Germany is going down the wrong path AGAIN. I swear there's something in the water there and it's turning the frogs gay and making the humans stupid.

Wasn't this age verification shit started in the US? Most of the world is drifting to the right, some places even more than germany.

I'm not sure where it started initially. We may be getting from Asia even, idk

*things in the water. More than one. Not just in Germany, everywhere.

Do u even live in Germany? I do.

They literally have laws to punish people for saying that Germany supports the genocidal state of Israel. Heck, it has even been made a point here in the fediverse with the feddit.org mods. Where have you been living?

Can you provide a source for both statements?

[–] veniasilente@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 week ago

Both feddit.org and db0 have sticky threads documenting the drama behind the second statement, which themselves also document the first statement as background.

Basically, just observe reality.

Germany is literally banning anti-Nazi symbols as we speak, not allowing for people to have flags with the symbols of the defeaters of Nazism
