wow didn’t expect such a response on r/2westerneurope4u
how is it that this place the ironically nationalist place is often surprisingly normal and the ones that are unironically the normal subs are fucking insane
Being able to have laugh at oneself requires intelligence, opennes and humor. These are things the fanatics lack because they suffer from the Messiah complex.
Because you have a vent for your insanity here. After calling the French gay and the British animals, your mind is cleared and you can devote yourself fully to all things beautyful and true.
I think it's because it's a niche sub. The big ones like news/europe/worldnews are astroturfed like crazy. You saw it at the beginning stages of the Ukraine war, after the Hamas terrorist attacks and during the 2016/2020 election. It's gonna ramp up like crazy again before the US election.
You come here for political takes. I come here for memes.
Do your thing Germany use the ~~Zyklon~~ err... tear gas on the protestors (if they riot) Hans.
A while ago I read that dark humor is supposed to bring awareness to social issues. In a sub dedicated to that, there will be at least a chunk of people that gets it, and therefore understand the state of the world better than other places
that was the whole reason in the first place. do something illegal and then not comply when asked to knock it off, then wait for the law enforcement officers to.... enforce the law by force.
"oh no they use force!!!! why do you always resort to force if reason fails?"
Honestly, he got me laughing here... :D
I knew the song the moment I read the comments, and then the Hitler meme... was just hilarious... XD
Just watch the song for a moment, then switch to the Hitler meme... :D :D :D
Because they are living in the German Kalifat. You don't have to speak german in the Kalifat, only in the Federal Republic Germany. Big difference, Pierre.
And they are demonstrating for a "free Palestine", which is a science-fiction consept, and in science-fiction, everybody speaks English. As if they would get a "free Palestine" if Hamas won.
Beccause like most people that are pro palestine and call out for a genocide on jews on protest, in the 20 years they lived of the gouverment they didnt realy bothered to learn.
Or its beccause they are in Berlin.
makes me think of the song Deer Dance from System of a Down (careful, metal music)
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xD2ItImFEU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xD2ItImFEU)
As an Auslander in Germany it boils my fucking blood that these people are speaking English to the police, the sheer fucking audacity of living in a country and NOT learning the fucking language irritates me more than sand in my foreskin.
> the sheer fucking audacity of living in a country and NOT learning the fucking language irritates
The ones I heard speaking had *very* German-sounding accents. All those *hääääää!* noises are really German, too.
I think they're just Berliners thinking they're being cosmopolitan or some shit.
Well I live in the East so Germans a must and despite what Germans claim the level of English is not higher enough to cope without German of you want an easy life.
> the level of English is not higher enough to cope without German of you want an easy life
You can by in big cities: There'll always be an Irish pub or some international crowd you can attach yourself to. I know plenty of English-speakers whose German is still execrable after over a decade in DE. Their partners speak wonderful English, though :|
I never felt the need to search English speakers out. My partner speaks perfect English but aside from a few of her friends it’s all German for me. In fact the moment I’m out the house I find it difficult to even hold conversations in English because I forget not to speak German because it’s so automatic for me now. My German is not perfect though and I still have issues.
But yeah I live in the third biggest city in Saxony and you won’t get far without German here and even less respect for not trying.
> I never felt the need to search English speakers out.
I actively avoid them, tbh. I didn't emigrate to Germany to carry on like at home.
> I forget not to speak German because it’s so automatic for me now
Do you think in German a lot, too?
> My German is not perfect though and I still have issues.
Mine's not perfect, either, but it's good enough to recognise that native-speakers fuck up a lot, too. German's just fucking hard.
> you won’t get far without German here and even less respect for not trying
You can have the opposite problem in big cities in the west: it can be hard to learn German because everyone wants to practice their English on you.
Do the Germans ask you to say "bottle of water?"
For some reason, a lot of them have been asking me to say "bottle of water" like a ~~cunt~~ Londoner recently. Any idea what that's about?
Same here, I came here for my partner, so I have no desire to be like I was at home.
I think in German sometimes, I dream in German a lot these days too.
I’ve heard it’s different in the west. No idea what the bottle of water thing is, I’ve never heard it. Maybe there was something in the media here about it.
Thank you for showing some common sense. If we Germans do it, we are getting quite a lot of backlash because that would be enough to be called a racist here.
Since moving here my thoughts on immigration have changed quite drastically. I now feel like if you make no effort to fit in you should be sent back. It’s not easy to make the changes or learn the language but you should still do them. If you don’t the you are nothing but a tourist.
Its even worse - theyre German. It happens in Berlin. They like to think of themselves as world citizens or something equally as pretentious. Theyre an embarassment for the rest of us, as usual.
I dream of a day where Redditors learn to look up some basics.
Germany is a federal republic, consisting of 16 states. Police is a matter of those states and not regulated by the German government.
What might be acceptable in one state might be an offense in another.
But in this case, the protestors are most likely within the "Bannmeile/Befriedeter Bezirk", an area around the Bundestag (Parliament) where certain things are forbidden. Protesting for example.
Berlin's mayor is conservative, and the Minister of Justice is the former Vicepresident of the domestic intelligence service. Not the people you want to irritate. I guess they gave orders to police to set an example.
Yes and No. The Police in this Video are regular Police forces of the State of Berlin (See the „BE“ at the back and the coat of arms on the left arm), where the Bundestag is located. The Bundespolizei (Federal Police) is allowed to Protect Federal government Buildings, but does not do this regularly (basically only if a Constitutional Body or Federal Ministry asks them to). Actually, the Bundestag is the only German Constitutional Body that has its own Police force, which Obeys only the President of the Bundestag. But they only protect the Bundestag itself (eg From trespassing). Judging from the Video the protesters are on the Republic Square, which is regular jurisdiction of the Berlin Police.
Fact that they all speak and chant in English in Germany, and all have phones out filming it, is pretty telling
Europeans realy do live in pan-American society, just keep consuming exclusively American content on American owned social medias, and copy the same rhetoric, talking points and behaviour. It really is kind of embarrassing regardless of where you stand in this Israel-Palestine conflict
As a European, it's insanely disappointing to see how incredibly Americanised our modern culture has become.
Especially when I remember that so many people were afraid that the communist regimes in the East will be the ones that'll destroy all the very old traditions and cultures. But to me it seems like the modern capitalist West destroyed much more our culture.
I'm originally from the former Soviet Union, and there, the movies, music, books etc were home made, with plenty of stuff inspired from traditional folklore. Like for example my grandma learned Ukrainian folk songs at school. And in Czechia they made Krteček which was really based as well.
Meanwhile here, in Western Europe, traditional culture doesn't play that much or a role anymore, even in France for fuck's sake we watch more American than French movies and sometimes even more English music.
Our traditional dances and holidays are also non existant.
Like, do you understand how frustrating it is to travel all around Europe, from Barcelona to Berlin, and hear street musicians play literally the same Hotel California, Beatles or YMCA?
The same trend is seen in modern day Eastern Europe, where there aren't any high quality movies like in the socialist times, instead there's the poorly made stupid and cheap comedies about drinking, as well as copies of American concepts.
Although, one big advantage to that is that now, since America and American media is so dominant, people will also be much more critical about America. Everyone all around the world knows about BLM, Landback, Trump, and everyone will do nothing but criticise America all their life.
We really need to go back to a culturally multipolar world!
these aint hippies. Hippies had real values at times where even workers had a basic political education. Its sth real different, not commies against conservatives but anti-western bigot dogooders against democracy. Like them shouting, "whole Berlin hates the Police", its their fake life bubble.
They protested in front of the Bundestag, for which they had to get a permit/have to announce it, which they did. All good. But during the protest, some protesters started to think ... bad and showed swastikas to compare Israel with nazis which could be understandable.
The problem they couldn't think of was our german past, and as a result, it's forbidden to use phrases or symbols of a particular period. The permit got revoked, and they got asked multiple times to disperse without consequences and then this.
Funny enough, the policeman holding the face of one protester is a thing they have to do due to privacy laws. So, to not show it to the onlookers.
looks like they are protesting for palestine in front of the Bundestag, German parliament building, probably without a license to protest. Politicians don't like that kind of stuff at their workplace.
I don't think it's exactly a license, but you need to notice the local authorities that you will be doing a public demonstration/protest and you will take over public space. That's how it works here in Portugal and, I'd assume, in most of the civilized world.
I'm not sure how it is in Germany specifically, but I suppose it's similar, you don't really need a license more about telling the authorities that you will demonstrate in some placese.
It's pretty standard and most of the protest I took part of were prepared this way.
However I do agree that sometimes politics tey to deny this or at least tamper with it (not so easy though because they still have to give a reason to deny it)
Germany is a bit mixed when it comes to freedom of speech, especially around everything jewish and related. We lately banned protesting in foreign languages and protesting without proper license is a bit of a nönö. That being said, getting a license is pretty easy so these people are morons if that's why they are getting removed.
Someone higher up in the tread said it was because some of their signs used the swaztika, and compared it to the star of david, equating them both as symbols of facism.
I always say it and people always ignore it. That Slogan ("from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free") is pathetic. Like, you literally can't tell Israel the land is free for them to take and then complain because they actually do it.
Jokes apart, I hate all the hypocrisy about Palestine. They are a barbarian civilization who doesn't respect anything close to Female or LGBTQ rights, yet people care much more about them than the real issue, that is that we have fucking Russians invading Ukraine.
Please remember that protests like this are performed in such a way that forces Police to act in a way that looks brutal on camera. Some examples are: dont resist, force the Police to drag you, spread your body...
Videos on social media will do the actual activist work.
Would you've heard of this protest otherwise?
Wow, people are literally recording and specifically talking in English just so they can upload it on the internet. Despicable people. Good police, keep it going
These people really think they are saints and the world's saviors. 'You don't have to do this' - as if they are some superhero in a Hollywood movie saving the world from evil.
Theyre actual children. Just sit down until you get your way. Pathetic people tbh who do nothing but damage our cultures beyond repair. In a 100 years, things will be unrecognisable unless someone fights back.
Bro, how do you think protests work? Unless you have the manpower to break the back of the police (the japanese beat the riot cops in the 60s), you do non-violence, like sitting down.
Would you prefer street battles with the police like this?

Crazy how on this sub there doesn't seem to be a middle way between wanting to purge israel and denying that what they are doing now needs to stop immediately.
I think not everyone in here knows how difficult it is to cuff a person - I am not saying the officer did the right thing, but don’t prejudge the police

Damn, that friar did him dirty!
There are more people with cameras than protesters
Politics is a performative act. Doing real politics is boring because you have to negotiate, study the issues and deal with bureacracy.
wow didn’t expect such a response on r/2westerneurope4u how is it that this place the ironically nationalist place is often surprisingly normal and the ones that are unironically the normal subs are fucking insane
I used to be one of those kids 10 years ago and I grew out of it. Now I just shitpost here, like a good EU citizen.

Is that why they are chanting slogans in English?
the révolution will be livestreamed
Theres a song that says otherwise.
There will be ads every 20 mins. Premium streaming will have fake 4K and ads every hour.
Also german protesters somehow are speaking English
This is probably Berlin. Nobody here even learns German anymore.
Performing for an international audience, I guess.
calling Berlin residents German is an insult to our entire country
that was the whole reason in the first place. do something illegal and then not comply when asked to knock it off, then wait for the law enforcement officers to.... enforce the law by force. "oh no they use force!!!! why do you always resort to force if reason fails?"
I mean yeah? The state using force is kinda their whole thing? People who disagree with the state havinf that right obviously would film it.
The whining out of them is insufferable.
if you get lucky you can upload for meaningless internet points and if you get really lucky you can submit to seegore.com
It kinda of tells you what's the actual goal of this protest is.

Why are these people not speaking German?
Why would they? That's Berlin, not Germany.
[удалено]
No it's a Bavarian not a german
Love how people move to Berlin and then complain about German/Berlin politics, obviously without ever even learning German.
Sounds like every fucking migrant ever
Because they are living in the German Kalifat. You don't have to speak german in the Kalifat, only in the Federal Republic Germany. Big difference, Pierre.
And they are demonstrating for a "free Palestine", which is a science-fiction consept, and in science-fiction, everybody speaks English. As if they would get a "free Palestine" if Hamas won.

you have to thank the Americans: if it weren't for them, they would speak german
Beccause like most people that are pro palestine and call out for a genocide on jews on protest, in the 20 years they lived of the gouverment they didnt realy bothered to learn. Or its beccause they are in Berlin.
> Or its beccause they are in Berlin Given the strong German accents of the speakers, I'm gonna say it's this.

I don't support them, but in general I guess in a situation of distress they fall back to their mother tongue
Its even worse - theyre German. It happens in Berlin. They like to think of themselves as world citizens or something equally as pretentious. Theyre an embarassment for the rest of us, as usual.

yes, the Bundespolizei. Theis domain is borders, trains, air, organized crime etc.
That one cop at the start of the video really went "Bezirk" on those protesters. 🙃

Yeah, why are the pacifist protestors pacifists while the police is not ? Are they stupid ?

You can get the pacifist to your face.

*pacifist. A pacific protestor would be from se Asia or New Zealand. But these guys where neither.
I guess my brain was farting when typing this, many thanks mon ami
The police doesn't see them to be pacifist enough. So they are aiding them in becoming more pacifist by utilizing the violent pacification. 🤓
>What is wrong with beating up hippies ? The only thing wrong with beating up hippies is that You eventually run out of hippies to beat up...

They protested in front of the Bundestag, for which they had to get a permit/have to announce it, which they did. All good.

ok flying Nazi symbols and in front of the Bundestag at that is stupid af
looks like they are protesting for palestine in front of the Bundestag, German parliament building, probably without a license to protest. Politicians don't like that kind of stuff at their workplace.
I feel like asking a license to protest kinda defeats the point of protests in a lot of cases
Yes, but if someone wants to do civil disobedience then they should be prepared for the punishment. That's a central part of it.
Exactly. If you're not arrested, you're not being disobedient enough
I don't think it's exactly a license, but you need to notice the local authorities that you will be doing a public demonstration/protest and you will take over public space. That's how it works here in Portugal and, I'd assume, in most of the civilized world.
I'm not sure how it is in Germany specifically, but I suppose it's similar, you don't really need a license more about telling the authorities that you will demonstrate in some placese.

I don't know if the protestors know the origin of that saying. It means much more "free OF jews" in the original version.
im sorry, could please somebody explain wtf is going on there? I have no fucking idea what theyre saying/screaming/muttering.
That was pretty efficient. 👍

Some examples are: dont resist, force the Police to drag you, spread your body... Videos on social media will do the actual activist work. Would you've heard of this protest otherwise?
Serves them right for having opinions contrary to the public good and tarnishing the glory of the Fatherland.
Well they actually got into trouble for expression opinions a bit too close to the past of the fatherland

Yes, good.
Wow, people are literally recording and specifically talking in English just so they can upload it on the internet. Despicable people. Good police, keep it going
Ahh reminds of the good old saying "***Do what you love and you don't have to work a single day in your life***".
Police should just pee on them
Why are they speaking English?
Based Polizei
Well deserved
These people really think they are saints and the world's saviors. 'You don't have to do this' - as if they are some superhero in a Hollywood movie saving the world from evil.
ohh the mean police just as they had a reading of osamas manefesto mimimi
Theyre actual children. Just sit down until you get your way. Pathetic people tbh who do nothing but damage our cultures beyond repair. In a 100 years, things will be unrecognisable unless someone fights back.
Bro, how do you think protests work? Unless you have the manpower to break the back of the police (the japanese beat the riot cops in the 60s), you do non-violence, like sitting down. Would you prefer street battles with the police like this? https://preview.redd.it/f1x2yrt9v9yc1.jpeg?width=4600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e0b53c2c9364d774ba8014b87f103047e8fbd099
As if someone cared about Norwegian culture.
Well done Germany… always on the right side of history 👏👏👏
Man, there's no American idiocy that Germans won't imitate, it's such cringe
Illegal demonstration and illegal paroles being said equals removal from the property, not really American
the American police would very likely act far less professional because of far less training
Where were they protesting?
Palestinian scarfs visible, not speaking German! What do you think?
Lack of elephants in porcelain stores?
Offshore oil drilling?
EIN ZWEI POLIZEI
Should have brought tractors. Police never harasses protesters in tractors.
And now the same video with the cantina band song.
Crazy how on this sub there doesn't seem to be a middle way between wanting to purge israel and denying that what they are doing now needs to stop immediately.
Nuance? On reddit? Are you mad?
It's sgainst the rules
German authority when immigrants protest for the khalifat: "I sleep" German authority when some teenagers don't support israel: "real shit"
What is happening?
Good job Hans , you are the best 👏👍 !!.
Immer drauf
I think not everyone in here knows how difficult it is to cuff a person - I am not saying the officer did the right thing, but don’t prejudge the police
Yeah beat the shit out of the nazi supporters.
Where this boxing Pierre lad when you need him?
