Does it different. In the US the violence is more up front. Here it’s done through mechanisms of the state.

In Germany we are at a point where it’s difficult to identity antisemitism became everyone who doesn’t actively support the genocide in Gaza is called an antisemite

…in the western power block, a relatively small portion of the world(despite ridiculously appropriating the name ’ intenational community ') that now has another good reason to be hated by the rest of the world.

Not to defend Germany, but given their relative size of prison populations, and number of citizens extra judicially killed by law enforcement. The US is, measurably, the worse of the two.
idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yes, it’s more sporadic in Germany, but because it’s less of a police state, they sometimes have to get creative. I don’t disagree that the US is measurably worse in basically all categories, but Germany’s not exactly good. It just goes to show that all cops are bastards.

We did it the best from 1933-1945, but currently we are nowhere near the american police state.

ACAB. Doesn’t matter where or when in the world we’re discussing. ACAB is universal.

While this is true, there are still various degrees of how much the police is used as a tool of oppression and the shit we see in America is miles away from what we see in Germany.

I’d argue the Stazi were far more effective than the Gestapo.
cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 21 hours ago
Fair enough with the Stasi. I could see how why, but I Am not capable of comparing the effectiveness of both.

Yes yes. We do a big police deathmatch between the US and UK. All the cops of both countries in one huge brawl. Whoever comes out alive gets the trophy and a twenty dollar gift card for a Fast Food restaurant of their choice.
