    That’s what happens when you abolish the stasi. Not even 3 decades later they’re back to the third Reich

    Germans can’t be trusted

      You really think the Stasi (Secret Police in the former GDR, East Germany for those who don’t know) existed to protect the citizens from fascism? That’s the most outrageously boneheaded tankie propaganda I have ever read.

            Yeah I’m Belgian. Call it generational trauma, there is something in their culture that makes then prone to thinking their superior people and to invade and do massacre. They did it 4 times already. It’s not racist to say that but I think there’s too much of them and we’d better sending then back east where they came from

          I don’t trust Germans too (Source: I am German) but you’ll have to take into account that the Stasi members were German as well. And they had a very German approach at running things. Torture, murder, propaganda, organising a system where basically everyone was forced to spy and snitch on their neighbor was carried out with great bureaucratic precision and accuracy. They had learned this kind of inhuman technocracy from the Nazis and perfected it.
