Hmmm....dangerous!

Many if not most leftists are anti-american by nature...now with Trump on the helm even more so.....they would not protest, and save lotsa money.

The rest of us, the majority, who loves the US and still wants to be an ally would be left out in the cold! An easy leftists win....

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]


Agreed!

With my growing up in the GDR I get goosebumps....and Germany has been on that dark path for a few years now....diffaming arguments as "hate and agitation" to ignore them, calling political adversaries "Nazis" to not having to speak with them....now calling to denunciate "hate speech", whatever that is...

But....the big but....if it is really meant politically to keep the adversaries small then its a big shot into the own foot. Those parties and people who really call for it are losing...losing steadily and losing big! That way gets them nowhere! So my guess is it won't age well...

On the other hand, if its really meant and used for/against example lying ads, children abuser or islamist terrorists....why not!

....I will keep my ears and eyes open!!! 🧐

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]


....thats the thing, I guess. We are seeing this DSA from the perspective of a social media....a talking platform, but the most what I read about it is about business, economy, something like faulty/lying ads and against pedophiles. I doubt they have some talking corner like PF even on the radar!

The big platforms like X or Meta or only mentioned with the same sentence as "...there are special laws"....not to mention that these are not seated in the EU!!!

Just lets see whats happens....before there is only guessing possible. And till now I can only one case remember....a german user insulted a german politician and this politician made use of his law to start a law case and then the police came and this whole got run in all german media and the police didn't came out looking good in this. The comparisens to a dictatorship where there and made freely....since then, nothing!

I dunno Novi...".I hate Islam" or "I don't like Muslims" or "muslim Immigrants are the worst"...has gone through german fora in the thousands if not millions by now....I know of nobody getting punished for it (till yet...and that would really had made the news by now)....I guess that would be a fight against windmills for this DSA...not even "whistleblower" needed, heh:)

....not at last the current gov party, the CDU, plans even contacts with the Taliban to get the criminal Afghans out of the country....that wasn't possible till now....so the mood is definitely not pro muslim-coddling!

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]

....abit scary is the part of the "trusted whistleblower", after all someone has to search and find the culprits:


Now that is a recipe for a disaster if there ever was one....and could (will) get easily out of hand.

Todays expert whistleblower will be tomorrows bribed/paid/political adversary/economical rival informer!

I guess the only way to stop that is when the maker of this whole bruhaha get kicked out and these things end again in the garbage can!

But, to come back to your question, Anti....I doubt that PF fits any of these categories!

Off-Topic / Will Digital Services Act (DSA) Be The End of PF? [20]

...hmm....I'm no expert but as I read and understand it (in german) PF should get a warning first but it should anyhow neither fall into the target group nor is it big enough.

...not even 2015 many people thought of that as fundamental in any way (sadly) or Merkel would never had done what she did, and that was only 10 years back. We now have to somehow correct that big error!


A good reason to bow out for the night!

*waves* :)

Life / A warning to Poland: Germany's catastrophic immigration policy: 80-90% criminal manhunts are ARABS / foreigner [83]


Because they didn't!


Now thats interesting because I would have a totally different opinion....any Brit (but especially an older one), is and was educated with the glory of the Empire. Not some Empire but THE EMPIRE. And this Empire contains many muslim countries and cultures! I guess most of their muslims come from India and Pakistan.

Similiar to France and their past as an world spanning Empire...most of their muslims come from Algeria, Morocco and Nigeria....additionally to the rest of Africa.

Not to mention that there are also strong cultural differences between the north-afrian and asian muslims, Germany is on a totally different level, never having such a global past (most of our muslims still come from Turkey which still are far different to those from the Maghreb for example), we are not even in the same game actually!

Alone to put us all in the same Euro-drawer is just wrong and that won't give you ever a realistic answer....

Life / A warning to Poland: Germany's catastrophic immigration policy: 80-90% criminal manhunts are ARABS / foreigner [83]


Na ja....frankly.....it did sound more like a rhetorical question. One you don't want really an "answer" for, just a validation of your beliefs. Nothing one usually spends some time on to formulate arguments for. After all I doubt any of us posters here was ever in any position to decide or even asked for his opinion! Immigration, especially muslim immigration, became only in the recent years such a cultural problem.

Just tone it down abit and you might get more, real answers....

The same how Mexicans and other middle- and south-Americans are in the US? What a question Novi....I guess when islamic countries would be neighbours (or at least more easily reachable afoot or with small boats) you would get the most of them, not we!

You seem to like Islam and islamist countries.....I really wonder why. Modernity and development are not the first images springing to mind.


I doubt that very much....that would mean that there will come a time soon when there is not enough work for Germans! ;)

Its not that...if so then Turkey would be already EU-member!

They want in since 1987 and have applicant status since 1999, 2005 negotiations for full membership have started and stopped 2016... and this is the farthest they will ever go! Any argument against (and there are many beside their islam-culture) are true and still only one counts as the real truth behind....nobody in the EU wants a muslim-majority country in, Turkey will never ever get the unanimity needed!

I can't forget about the tales about grown up adults with visible beards telling our police they were kids who lost their ID's on the way....and our police had to believe them, let them in and give them all the comfort as if they were really vulnerable children...the pure lunacity!

Why not? They would surely don't treat these misfits with satin gloves as we do right now, yes? :)

...yeah...not to forget the years of abuse and bad treatment of Poles before, what did they actually expect????

.....no, absolutely not!

History / Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [161]

Thing is, "White Eagle" wasn't about conscription....it was strictly voluntary! The big difference to all able men with only the slightest germanic root, no matter how old or how tiny, they had no choice! The Poles had!

History / Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [161]

....by 1944, the high time of the action "White Eagle", there were no german-Poles left to conscript, I guess...

History / Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [161]


I know, thats what I had learned and thought till now too....but read the article....it's about real Polish-Poles, not German-Poles....

The important point was seemingly not so much recruitment to fight for Hitler and the Nazis but to fight against Communism and the coming Soviets!

History / Did Poles living in Germany support Hitler's rise to power before World War II? [161]


..yeah I wondered about that title too (as the topic made it into the german media at last).

"Unsere Jungs" (as title) and then in the first few sentences explaining that it was about forced conscription of Poles....after being told for decades that there were no Slavs also no Poles in the german army allowed, only "Volksdeutsche"....but that was most probably an error!

I found that (...a clipping from a very long, very in-depth article):
(in German....all Google-translated)


www1.ku.de/ZIMOS/forum/docs/kochan.htm

....It is difficult to say who broke Hitler's resistance to the creation of Polish armed units in the autumn of 1944. It may have been due to the efforts of Hans Frank, who wanted to use the fifth anniversary of the founding of the General Government (on October 26) for propaganda purposes. He likely found support in some military circles. The Army High Command submitted a corresponding request to Hitler on October 23, 1944, and received permission from the Führer the following day to deploy Poles in the Wehrmacht's HiWi units on the basis of the regulations of April 29, 1944, which referred to other units in the East.[49] Frank was immediately informed of this, and he "particularly welcomed this report, as it was entirely in line with his ideas."[50]

The recruitment guidelines were gradually refined. On April 24, it was only determined that the Polish volunteers would wear German uniforms and be identified by an armband bearing the inscription "In the Service of the German Wehrmacht."[51] Four days later, it was added that the volunteers would initially be enlisted for four months, as a commitment "until the end of the war" could have a deterrent effect. But as early as October 31, these fears were dismissed.[52]

The information was initially kept secret. Nevertheless, even before the official announcement of the recruitment, a poster was prepared in a Krakow printing house, depicting "a Polish worker putting down his shovel while a German soldier hands him a rifle. It was announced that the Poles, due to their 'mass, voluntary' effort in digging trenches against the Soviets, deserved to fight with arms in hand against the enemy from the East."[53] The posters explained the rights afforded to volunteers and listed the addresses of recruitment offices. Rumors of the impending conscription reached the city and caused anxiety bordering on panic. Konstanty Tchórznicki, the chairman of the Main Auxiliary Council, intervened with the "government" of the General Government on November 2 and 3, declaring that the announcement of a conscription "in the current situation was considered a highly unpolitical step, which would require serious and could have harmful consequences."[54] He was told that this was only a recruitment for auxiliary units that could not be compared to SS Galicia, but at most, if one wanted to make a comparison, had similarities with the Todt Organization. It was categorically stated that this was not the beginning of a general conscription. The Polish representative was confidentially informed that the Wehrmacht did not attach much importance to Frank's initiative and did not expect its success.[55]

Despite such statements, the military devoted considerable attention to the venture, which went by the cryptonym "White Eagle," and strove to ensure that the initiative was appropriately embedded in propaganda. On November 4, 1944, Army Group Center published guidelines for the recruitment of Poles. The units were to initially comprise 12,000 volunteers and would initially be assigned to the Second, Fourth, and Ninth Armies. The strict voluntary nature of the matter was emphasized. The use of the derogatory term "HiWi" (Hi-Wi) was banned. This was strictly prohibited, as the aim was to convince the Poles that they would be treated like "real" Wehrmacht soldiers. Any contact with Ukrainian or Russian units, as well as political discussions with the volunteers, was also prohibited. The only position to be expressed to them was: "The German Wehrmacht is waging a determined fight to the last to protect Europe against Bolshevism." Every honest helper in this unconditional struggle is welcome as a comrade in the Wehrmacht."[56] Concerned about the success of recruitment, it was recommended that everyone between 16 and 50 be accepted, provided they had passed the medical commission. The recruits were to be informed that they could commit themselves for at least four months or until the end of the war. Only the latter were to take the oath: "I swear this sacred oath by God that in the fight for the future of Europe in the ranks of the German Wehrmacht, I will offer unconditional obedience to the Supreme Commander of the German Wehrmacht, Adolf Hitler, and as a brave soldier, I am prepared to risk my life at any time for this oath."[57] The Poles were to be clothed and equipped in typical Wehrmacht fashion, provided-as was noted-such equipment was available. The units were to be armed only after two months of probation.....

Astounding! I never knew.....
