Doesn't it, though? I keep wanting to shout to Germany and Austria, "Good Lord, aren't you embarrassed on a daily basis, playing out the Nazi stereotypes in real time?? Have you no sense of irony??? It wasn't all that long ago, Germany, and trust me, people haven't forgotten!!..."

The last 16 years have been a straight path to fascism under the guise of saving the world (migration, climate; now corona). Merkel effectively destroyed the CDU and the other parties and re introduced the block party of east Germany. All frog in pod style. I’m glad I left the country - but I feel horrible for friends and family stuck there. None of them approve of this bullshit.

Nearly nobody notices what‘s happening… We never learn from our past, it seems.

Going on for thousands of years. Humans are worse than animals. Did you ever see an animal kill another for other reasons than food or self defense?

This is why I relate to what Dennis Prager says: "Humanity sucks, but there are a few good people."

Yes. That is so true, and I hope everyone knows a few good ones.

Hogwash,animals kill for “fun” all over the animal kingdom,anyone who has owned a cat has seen them play with a mouse for hours until it dies and walk away without eating it.Dolphins do it with fish and smaller dolphins,weasels are notorious for killing for entertainment.Animals kill each other for resources,mating rights,territory,all the same reasons people kill each other.

I don't know of any animal that would kill because the other worships another god

I would agree since they don’t have the intellectual capacity to think beyond their present moment.Animals do all kinds of things that we don’t do like eating their young,starving smaller offspring in favor of the stronger ones and leaving injured animals in their pack to be eaten by others.My point is that the natural world is full of savagery,murder and death.To make value judgements about one being better than the other ignores the facts.Humans are just another kind of animal and the trick is to use our big brains to rise above our natural state.

I learned from biology scholars that the only animals besides humans, who kill for pleasure, are chimpanzees. Not sure, if this is true, but even if it were true, this would be only two out of millions of species. Well yes, I guee, humans are „special“.

Animals rock, and are so much more interesting than we are, imho.

Thank you for saying this! IT is not lost on the world, that it is EXACTLY what they are doing, and apparently, loving it. Which is even MORE disturbing...

It has been throughout German history, unfortunately. They just can't help themselves. Maybe they think the unvaxxed are Jewish?
