In Germany, dozens of people are in 'preventive detention' because they might otherwise engage in climate protests
In the German state of Bavaria, dozens of people are in 'preventive detention' because they might otherwise engage in climate protests, specifically around the car industry exposition IAA in Munich. Apparently possible for a month there... https://www.zeit.de/gesellschaft/zeitgeschehen/2023-09/letz...
You're viewing a single thread.
The Germans have a history of these things, they try to pretend it's all in the past but here they are right back to their old ways. It's unacceptable for anyone to be detained in this way, period.
Yeah, us evil, evil Germans ... lol
Please educate yourself: There are rightwing tendencies even in your country, but they're coloured differently.
If you'd take a closer look at world politics you'd find that there is an alarming trend concerning exactly this.
Best example would be Italy - they've just elected a right-wing party and all hells breaking loose as they've started restructuring the social security system over there, leaving many, many families moneyless. Without any warning in advance. And that's just the start.
China is still on with their genocide - the Uigur must die it seems, no matter what. There's still concentration camps.
I could go on for hours.
But yeah. You're right. Us Germans are notorious and blind towards our history.
It’s absolutely better to let people be free and do whatever they want, than to apprehend them ahead of time when they’re suspected of planning to carry out a crime.
Just imagine if the people who carried out the 11th September attack had been caught in the planning stage? Then tomorrow would just be a normal day instead of a sad day of remembrance.
That would’ve been outrageous!
Ah yes, protesting destruction of the environment and terrorism killing thousands, definitely equivalent acts
So either Germany has like 30 climate protesters, or these particular protesters are thought to be up to something and thus detained ahead of time to prevent them from causing damage either to people or property.
It’s worth noting that
- The legality of this is being disputed and,
- The decision to detain these people is labelled as controversial by the article
You can bet your arsehole that there’ll be people protesting at the event, and protesting hasn’t magically been made illegal.
If you’ve been caught trying to hijack a plane in the past, you might find yourself being under extra scrutiny next time you try to fly. That’s entirely on you.
I frequently call for the heads of big oil CEOs and enabling politicians, I don’t think I’ll ever be let within a kilometre of either type of people.
I'm begging you to take a look at the dangerous nefarious terroristic acts Letzte Generation usually engages in. They do non-violent road blockades. Sometimes they chain themselves to stuff. They might even spray some paint on a private jet sitting in a lot. These are the criminal masterminds Germany needs to crack out pre-crime for. It's the mildest bullshit you can imagine.
And what is that going to achieve? Because they glue themselves to the autobahn, or chain themselves to a dozen cars, people will magically stop driving?
Then what? How is people not driving affecting the grand scheme of things?
It’s not. Do something useful, like get to the people responsible. Idiotic stunts like super gluing yourself to a table is making a mockery of the entire climate movement.
The suffragettes fucked with census and blew shit up. It’s time to take a leaf from their playbook.
"They must have been planning something terrible"
"They weren't"
"Well they should have!"
🤔
You're just being contrarian.
Unironically would be an awful world if people could be arrested for suspicion of wanting to potentially someday do a crime
You’re right. It’s the world we live in, and it’s absolute garbage for a wide range of reasons.
This is sort of a reverse godwin.
