  • Isn’t it funny how liberals will let this slide just because they don’t agree with his positions? Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a conservative, nor a liberal, I’m a communist, and no, I do not agree with Richard Medhurst or his positions on the Russia - Ukraine war, but I think it’s quite worrisome that we’re arresting people on “terrorism” for saying bullshit we don’t like. 20 years ago a terrorism charge meant you’d be caught building a bomb, or providing a terrorist organisation with material support, nowadays it constitutes spreading Russian propaganda, or sharing some opinions that some bad guys might also have (or be interpreted as such), and that the government has decided is punishable. And yes, his opinions do suck.

    Just wait for the regime in the UK to change, wait for the far-right brexit geezers that have been rioting to get in power, and we’ll see many more people (including journalists and activists) get arrested under the suspicion of “terrorism” just for saying things the current/future regime doesn’t like. You are creating some very dangerous instruments for future governments to use and abuse. It’s scary how much trust the civil society is thereby putting in all future governments that will have these tools at their disposal.












  • Never did. Lmao, they literally had nazis in government after WW2. They had ex nazi ministers. All the nazi army generals stayed in the Bundeswehr. Their intelligence services were filled to the brim with Nazis and aided nazi criminals in escaping prosecution, literally tipping Adolf Eichmann to escape the Mossad. Their nazi built companies never paid for what they did. Hell, they’re still funding and naming public buildings after their nazi grandpas. There’s absolutely nothing true about this so called german “denazification” other than some superficial virtue signalling.
