This is where I was last night. When you hear the police announce „The cries of ’stop the murder! stop the war!‘ are not allowed“ this is not a joke. This is the police force in a liberal democracy telling demonstrators they may not shout „Stop the murder! Stop the war!“

What’s even more striking is the replies to this tweet. There are dozens of people saying in more or less coarse reflexive Gleichschaltung that the police are correct, that „Stop the war!“ is anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas. Here is the stereotype of Germans being unquestioning rule-following robots come to life.
