Germany Turns to U.S. Playbook: Deportations Target Gaza War Protesters

As a trans person in this timeline obviously they’re not okay, are you doing anything to make the situation better for them in any possible way? If not better lose the snarkiness
Ah sorry, I didn’t realize being trans gives you a free pass for spreading political propaganda but I know better now.
Actually I think it’s kind of patronizing to say that trans people just can’t help themselves from posting shit like that because of their circumstances.
-
Yeah, no. There are many left wing German newspapers.

Absolutely not true. Listen to this interview if you wanna get an accurate picture. The situation is grim.
The reality is that the news are probably true, and it’s quite common that people will either gaslight or simply not give a fuck. Germany went absolutely fascist, it’s a terrible situation. Even "left-wing" newspapers like TAZ aren’t very left wing when it comes to Palestinians. Your typical liberal German academic will deny this but who’s even asking them anymore?

Trans people probably can't help themselves from responding to Democrat apologia when most of the things Trump is doing were first legitimized by Democrats either in speech or action.

IndustryStandard criticizing Kamala but mentioning Kamala wouldn’t do all the same things as Trump. I like how they mentioned it was the a stepping stone for Trump’s deportations but I was not referring to that specifically.
Kamala did support the brutal crackdown on student protesters. But, she did indeed not deport them. That said, ICE under Biden and Kamala was already heavily in violation of human rights and continuing the Trump 2016 agenda. Deportation of wrongthink is but the next logical step of the ratchet effect.
PhilipTheBucket liking that that IndustryStandard’s post was nuanced and not as simple as “Kamala bad”.
I think I will do up a FAQ for the disinformation community or something, it is getting tiring repeatedly typing the same responses. But I do appreciate the extra effort to at least put together something which has some semblance of plausibility instead of just seeing “Gaza” and reaching for the “Kamala Harris” button without bothering to make it make sense or relate in literally any way at all. Big improvement. Good stuff.
I was just saying I like the nuanced discussion.
PhilipTheBucket liking that that IndustryStandard’s post was nuanced and not as simple as “Kamala bad”.
Uh... I'm pretty sure you misunderstood that. PhilipTheBucket was speaking ironically; they were saying that IndustryStandard's response is still disinformation, just higher quality disinformation that's meant to look vaguely plausible. This is not a nuanced discussion; it's PhilipTheBucket dismissing IndustryStandard's response as disinformation and propaganda meant to make America's Great Saviors look bad.

Yeah nothing in the taz - Germanys biggest left wing newspaper. Nothing in the Zeit and nothing in Tagespiegel (Berlin Newspaper) either.
Then it must be fake news and the >1000 people that got killed since the end of the ceasefire and the deliberate mass starvation of the people in Gaza who have to survive on a bowl of rice per day, all that isn’t happening right?
Because I don’t see any news about that at all by our oh so holy liberal left wing academic journalists. The bubble you live in is pathetic, don’t make it sound like all of us in Germany are as bigoted and blind to the amount of suffering our political and media elites are causing to the Palestinians through constant dehumanization and outright support of the genocide against them. I hate to live in the same country as people like you.

Except that they’re making perfect sense and you’re simply calling it political propaganda because it doesn’t fit into your world view. There’s nothing to patronize because it’s a perfectly sane take, you’re the one trying to gaslight us here.

Agreed. The Democrats started this Mcarthyist witchhunt about Hamas supporting students and anti Zionism is anti semitism baloney. Thanks to them the Republicans were gifted with a ready made clampdown on civil rights.
Pretty sure most of those university board members are conservative
-
I have some notes on that. 3 of the 4 are EU citizens, that makes deportations highly complicated. I also can't find another source, and the intercept has a history of pushing some shady things.
Something feels off.
What shady stuff have they published in the past? I’ve generally found their coverage good and they often cover stories like this that other mainstream sources won’t.

Berlin’s immigration authorities are moving to deport four young foreign residents on allegations related to participation in protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, an unprecedented move that raises serious concerns over civil liberties in Germany.
The deportation orders, issued under German migration law, were made amid political pressure and over internal objections from the head of the state of Berlin’s immigration agency.
The internal strife arose because three of those targeted for deportation are citizens of European Union member states who normally enjoy freedom of movement between E.U. countries. None of the four has been convicted of any crimes.
“What we’re seeing here is straight out of the far right’s playbook,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters. “You can see it in the U.S. and Germany, too: Political dissent is silenced by targeting the migration status of protesters.”
Fash support fash. Germany has been supporting genocide for a long time.
It's really amazing how liberals will completely accept genocide up until the very second that it affects them.
-
I am a German citizen and we do not pretend we don't have fascist citizens. Why do you think we do?
B/c USA is brainwashed by the zionism that Germany supports. We're raised thinking that Germany changed and is now a leader in anti-semitism, etc. It's brainwashing.
But anybody with a clue, including many Germans, realizes that their zionism is still anti-semitic AF. It's an attack on non-fascist jews and a literal genocide against palestinians.

I am sorry you cannot see the difference between an article that has not been corroborated and people claiming there is no genocide in Gaza.
-
Good call. I've tried searching for their namens and some other related keywords in german but couldn't find any secondary sources. Only two other newssites that basically copied the intecept verbatim. So for now I wouldn't believe it
The first thing I do when negative news about Israel is published is question the source as well. Israel and Germany would never violate international law.

Because everything we hear in Canada about Germany is lollipop propaganda about how perfect Germany is. You don’t see it from the inside but to the rest of us, the German government spends money to make themselves look like the country everyone should strive to be. You’re part of the machine so it’s no surprise you’re not aware of how others perceive you

Look, if we don't tolerate at least a little genocide of somebody else, then we're basically throwing our votes away. /s

It is heart breaking to see Germany begin to give in to fascism again. What happened to "never again!" ???

Okay buddy, American far left accelerationists working hand in hand with the alt right to dismantle democracy will never not be funny from an outside perspective.
