So after my final two overseas affairs gadgets, I can hear you muttering. “For goodness’ sake, Derb, Iceland, Hungary, … what’s this factor you may have for small, inconsequential international locations? How about someplace vital?”
OK, how about Germany? Most populous nation in Europe, with the continent’s largest economic system—third largest on this planet by Gross Home Product. Necessary sufficient for you?
And psychologically vital manner out of proportion to its measurement. Germany’s the Hitler nation, an amazing massive darkish blot on the Western world’s Twentieth-century copybook.
100 million dimwits and midwits who couldn’t inform you who first flew solo throughout the Atlantic, or which nation Chiang Kai-shek dominated, or which U.S. President resigned over Watergate, will inform you accurately, with confidence, the identify of Adolf Hitler’s canine. Let your foot slip a millimeter or two off the straight and slender path of Political Correctness—maybe by murmuring that women and men might maybe, in spite of everything, differ biologically—you’re positive to be known as a Nazi.
So sure, I’ve information from Germany. First, right here’s a YouTube music video.
For these of you not as clued-in to well-liked tradition as your genial host right here, that was from L’amour Toujours, a dance hit of the early 2000s, and very multicultural: French title however English lyrics, sung by an Italian, Gigi D’Agostino.
L’amour Toujours ought to have pale away gracefully twenty years in the past, as most pop music does. The tune, nevertheless, has just lately discovered a second life. Hear
Sorry in regards to the sound high quality there; the audio clip I used to be searching for is difficult to search out, for causes that may grow to be obvious very shortly.
That latter clip was a bunch of younger Germans appropriating the tune of L’amour Toujours to sing “Ausländer raus, Ausländer raus, Deutschland den Deutschen, Ausländer raus.” Translation: “Foreigners out! Foreigners out! Germany for Germans! Foreigners out!” It’s not only a one-off: these phrases, to that tune, have been heard rather a lot in Germany this previous few months.
The authorities in Germany will not be completely satisfied about this. They’re so sad they’ve banned the tune of L’amour Toujours from this 12 months’s Oktoberfest[Munich’s Oktoberfest to ban hit song adopted by German far right, DPA, May 27, 2024].
The tip aim of Unhumans is to ban all music not sanctioned by the state. Not due to the content material however to censor the human spirit.

From the noun “authority” we after all derive the adjective “authoritarian.” Do the Germans nonetheless know methods to be authoritarian? They definitely do.
Meet Marie-Thérèse Kaiser.
Three years in the past this girl—who, by the way in which … or really not a lot by the way in which, is a member of Germany’s Nationwide-Conservative AfD Celebration—posted on social media that Muslim immigrants figured disproportionally in convictions for gang rape. In help of that assertion Frau Kaiser quoted official authorities statistics[Germany: Nearly Two Gang Rapes per Day in 2021; Half the Suspects Foreigners, by Robert Semonsen, The European Conservative, June 2, 2022].
❌The appalling figures, launched by the Federal Legal Police Workplace of #Germany, revealed {that a} whole of 677 gang #rapes have been recorded final 12 months, up from 300 in 2018—a mean of 1.86 every single day. #SexualViolence #Reporthttps://t.co/rCZc28dEAk

For that Frau Kaiser was convicted and fined final 12 months for inciting hatred. She appealed, however final month the conviction was upheld. [Fined over facts? by Freddie Attenborough, thecritic.co.uk, May 9, 2024]
The case has obtained huge consideration. No much less an individual than Elon Musk has handed touch upon it
Are you saying the wonderful was for repeating correct authorities statistics?

The German authorities are actually unscrupulous in defending their Muslim immigrants and concealing their criminality. I simply realized the opposite day from a February article on Quillette the next sneaky factor they do.
There are after all antisemitic hate crimes in Germany—assaults on synagogues, vandalism of Jewish cemeteries, and so on. Who commits them? The authorities very a lot need you to consider that it’s German nationalists just like the AfD. Quote from the Quillette piece:
Below a controversial and much-criticized coverage carried out in 2001, the BKA [Bundeskriminalamt —the Geman equivalent of the FBI] by default classifies all unsolved antisemitic incidents as being perpetrated by “extreme-right” actors. Most antisemitic incidents are by no means solved (solely 42 p.c of politically motivated crimes, together with antisemitic hate crimes, have been solved in 2022). Which means, for almost all of antisemitic crimes categorized as right-wing, the authorities haven’t any proof in any respect to again up this conclusion.Narratives, Damned Lies, and Statistics
Authorities information about German antisemitism, extensively cited within the English-language press, is mistaken.
By Andrew Hammel, February 13, 2024
So if some jihadi nut lobs a bomb via the window of a synagogue however that crime results in the 58 p.c “unsolved” class, it goes down within the statistics as having been dedicated by right-wing Germans.
Thank goodness our personal scrupulously lawful FBI would by no means stoop to such deceptions!
