In today's dose of Clown World:
Far-left extremists and Antifa have attacked LGBTWTFBBQ parades in several German cities.
Apparently the parades have become too mainstream and corporate. Organizers have also publicly disavowed extremism. On top of that, Antifa really don't like that police are actively participating in the parades.
- So far participating police got attacked in Berlin (and retreated like the good little cucks that they are).
- In Stuttgart a bunch of Antifa attacked participants and blocked the parade (auto-translated article).
- In Mainz a member of the party Die Linke (former SED) attacked a tranny and a bunch of Antifa tried to block a police booth (auto-translated article).
We might complain about all that corporate virtue signalling but they actually do something about it ;)
All that talk about extremists, originally aimed at the perceived right-wing threat, is coming to haunt them, too, because politicians and public figures have to pay lip service to "both sides". So they now distance themselves from left-wing extremism, which causes them to get more violent.
Looks like they're getting a lesson in what it's like when outside infiltrators take over your hobby, if your hobby is being a violent protester and rebel without a cause.
The boring mainstream and corporate marketers have ruined it for them and they're not taking it well. Or maybe they just want to recruit more Muslim members for Antifa.
In somewhat related news:
A couple of days ago left-wing terrorists stalked the interior minister of the state of Bremen. He's a member of the socialist SPD but apparently isn't radical enough for these terrorists.
They followed him home to find out where he lives and torched two of his cars, even bragged about it online. Except it turned out they followed the wrong guy who just looked like the minister. The cars they torched belonged to people who had nothing to do with him.
The political left are more and more getting a taste of the golem they created to fight the "right".
Did they arrest anyone got the car burning incident? I assume not
They pretty much never do. We have something akin to the secret service (Staatsschutz) who is supposed to investigate attacks against politicians but they mysteriously never find left-wing terrorists.
Left-wingers burning cars happens every other week. Usually they burn cars of right-leaning politicians. Police and military vehicles are also popular targets. Lately they've added random private SUVs and corporate delivery vehicles "for the climate" to the mix.
I don't remember them ever getting caught. The German justice system is wilfully blind on both eyes when it comes to left-wing terrorism.
I'm sure they are, although not in the sense you might expect. They're not infiltrators or instigators, they are just regular members and followers of "the cause". Members of far-left groups like Antifa end up in the government in Germany, not the other way around.
For example, recent leaks showed that there are at least a hundred cops who are members of the Letzte Generation (a climate terrorist group who regularly block roads, airports and commit vandalism in the millions).
El Salvador proved that it's both incredibly easy and wildly popular to drastically cut down on violent crime by arresting criminals and keeping them locked up. This doesn't solve the problem of what happens when things are good for too long and people elect somebody who lets them back out of jail/stops arresting them, but it's a start.
lol@"have known this for a long time since GamerGate"
You do realize that Antifa actually hails from Germany and Europe, right? And that left-progressive extremism (Antifa, amongst others) has been ongoing for multiple decades, if not more than half a century.
And you're right, most of these radical left-leaning groups have been infiltrated by domestic intelligence services. And these radicals do at times find their way into national parliaments by way of left-leaning political parties.
Well there's definitely some behind the scenes and below the table "cooperation" going on between politicians, law enforcement, and these radical groups.
And it's something that can easily be done without it really being provable (IE, easily obscured money trails, 3rd or 4th party intermediaries, no direct interaction even required to accomplish goals, etc.)
The communists took over, so it's not surprising.
Didn't they recently demand that the AfD be put on the list of 'suspect' political parties that they're allowed to infiltrate and wreck from the inside?
Yea, the head of the Stasi 2.0 (Verfassungsschutz) was installed by Merkel to get rid of the AfD.
He protects climate terrorists who commit crimes on an almost daily basis but criminalizes any opposition to the leftist government.
Pretty sure this issue has been going on for decades. ;)
