Update: German politician left seriously injured following attack | DW News 

Sure sure, when a politician is attacked its an "attack against democracy". But how come we never say that kind of thing when its the voters who are being insulted, harassed, threatened, or beaten for their political views?

cringe

You can feel everywhere, over across the pond. Yup, theirs been something off for 14 months is the feeling in the air, atmosphere, not sure how to say it but feel it from the earth its self. Something shifted.. idk how to explain but it's off tiltered

@@ravenstone366 you are not wrong.

Extremism has little meaning as such as it simply denotes how far an opinion diverges from the center at a certain time. At times women and gay rights activists, people advocating for general suffrage and even those calling for the complete abolition of slavery were considered extremists. When it comes to political violence, Germany has seen tougher times. Especially the hard left became comparatively tame, there are no active terrorist groups anymore and violence in the streets has abetted. However, there is a hardly quantifiable potential for violence by lone actors, as well as new movements with comparatively lose ideological alignments. Both on the right, for example by the bizarre Reichsbürgermovement and the Incel internet phenomenon, as well as from the antiimperialist movement on the left, although I'm not sure to which degree they are buying into classical leftist ideals of economic equality. And of course there is political Islam, or Islamism as we call it - that becomes more and more visible, but is still of comparatively little effect when it comes to real violence.

Putin lives under your bed.

Yes u were seeded by Russia🇷🇺.

My first thought

🇷🇺 😱

Then Russia needs to make sure Crocus was not seeded by West. Which they did

they identified them and set them free because they are underaged

These are just poor excuses for the bad governance 🚦 that provokes violence.

​@@raisonneur682 these are poor excuses of people who do not want to take responsibility of their own hatred and anxiety blaming it on a government. No government is perfect, a democratic government has lots of room for anybody to improve its functioning.

Don't get on the Russian bandwagon ... It looks more domestic/homegrown to me than a Russian plot.

For God sake, if Russia would not exist, who would you blame for all German problems?

Everybody knows Germany follows orders from the usa

So we all have to vote for AfD now? They got attacked too but there was no outrage. Which is exactly why I cant feel bad for SPD now. They did not feel bad for AfD too.

@@raphaell4808 You mean the staged attack of Chrupalla? He wasn't injured at all. He said he was poisoned but they found no poison in his blood. The senior prosecutor said there was no indication of an attack.

@@schabau94He said something was used on him. The substance was meant to cause an immediate allergic reaction.

So is the western part with the American sector

Or you could say East Germany was not influenced by the Western multicultural ideology , from which East Germany was protected from by the iron curtain .

yep cos they can just shut down everything they dont like

yep feels like he's bought by Putin, well he had ties to Russian secret service and supported them

If Trudeau doesn't resign, similar thing will happen in Canada too.

Canada needs more prayers, because the lunatic is in power.

Peace❤❤ Question have you all had a influx of migration?? Just seems everything past five years it's completely outta of control in many countries.. If feel li,e we been thrown under the bus.. Good luck Germany, we all going to need it and no Overlords seem to care to listen...

Berlin has a lot of terrorist sadly 😥

It's from the former German speaking former Russian satellite 'GDR'. Duh

ask russia.

Oh I don't know.. maybe because the left is taking our homes and our future away from us all over again? They have ruined Europe.

Afd..for sure ​@@jankowalyk7301

​@@jankowalyk7301I'm sure the Russians will tell you what's wrong with us. Maybe not you.

becouse of calimite change

Why? We all know already that those 2 countries fuel the hate in todays world.

I mean they do support the AFD, funding them

this is internal

Sharia law will solve the gender pay gap, no women workers means no disparity between men and women workers pay

Where does Sharia law say that women do not have the right to work?! where is your evidence?!

That doesn't justify violence

Another US citizen here: totally wrong. Plenty of support for anti-Trump candidates and President Biden as well. It’s right wingers who say they hate all the candidates.

@user-wk1mw9nj3i76 Litterally about as left as they come. I'd vote Lenin in power if I could, but okay. Never met a Democrat who liked Biden. As, if this were 20 years ago, Biden would be solidly a Republican.

That is the dog whistle they use to distract from their own agenda.

Was hat deine sicherheit mehr beeinflusst?

@@Alos-yt2it Well, I've been verbally threatened twice by right-wing extremists and not once by an immigrant.

​@@yasminesteinbauer8565I've been attacked by a group of around 6 young right wing men for wearing a mask a few years back. One of them kicked me in the back, when I was off my balance two of them grabbed me by the arms and another one went for my face and stole my mask. They run off while taunting me, as if I could've done anything against such a large group. Never before or after was I physically attacked on the streets.

​@@Xtremshow you know they were right wing 🤣 have you asked them?

haha, sadly some people think that

@BlueredCatalan There's speculation that affirmation of far right policies is a reaction to eastern Germany's former so-called socialist government. The fact that it differs from Social Democrat policies and Western socialism (as in Scandinavia) doesn't seem to register.

They say that according to the reports by eye-witnesses, it seems likely that the attackers were far right extremists. Plus, a member of the Green Party has been attacked a few days ago, probably by the same suspects, but it still needs to be confirmed. TBH I would not be surprised. Anyway, saying “it seems likely” is NOT misinformation.

I think it's not good to quick to jump to conclusions, but if there's only one group engaging in attacks and it's targeting opponents of the far right...

SPD attacked by SPD - is this more likely? If you don´t know Germany - listen and learn.

@@derJackistweg no it is not more likely

@@mellowInventor there has been an increase of attacks from the far right, specifically against politicians in small towns. Many of them are not even full time politicians and receive minimum pay for their job as representatives, most of them work full time jobs elsewhere, and many are so afraid after being targeted that they withdraw from communal politics, leaving the playing field to right wing candidates. The amount of attacks in remote regions has lead experts to conclude that these attacks are a coordinated effort to undermine democracy. Yes, some leftist extremists also attacked politicians on the far right but way less. In addition the motivation is also speaking for itself - right wingers specifically attack and weaken democracy. Right wingers are way better funded and way more organized. Left wingers attack the far right because they are afraid that the right wingers will destroy democracy. Obviously that’s not an excuse for violence.

Isnt Modi far right?

​@@mb9662didn't Germany is far right country

The thumbnail literally says that, can't you read?

​​@@mb9662Agreed, I don't like populism in any form (racially, religiously etc) not only that, when the far right is in power, it has the tendency to suppress free speech. but for some reason, I am very curious about Germany's AfD. Because there are discrepancies from what the media is portraying this party to be.

Modi and the PjP is a threat to India's democracy or what is left of it. 😂

"I'm anti violence BUT..." Come on... right after your BUT your position against violence does not has any value anymore. No matter which politician this is about, violence has no place. There is no "BUT".

Far right in Germany are supported by putin's ruSSia.

@@RuLeZ1988 you didn't read or understand so you just seem weird. Arguing against something I never said. If you think the word "but" always negates whatever came before you need to get back to school. I constructed a sentence that is normal and you raged and proved you didn't understand a single thing I said. or are you raging because you love corruption and corrupt politicians and me calling them out hurt your corrupt little feelings?

​@@lootjunior Oh dear...how hypocritical is that ... A politician gets beaten up...and all you come up with is corruption.. how poor is that !!

@@saba1030 lol do you even know what hypocritical means? clearly not

Perception of "Russian" root of the problem is more nuanced. American involvement in Ukraine can't be underestimated. Nordstream, blank check aid from your country; already in financial distress- Rx for disaster.

Agreed! Um ah um ah - the last guy was a little more articulate. And the anchor.

I thought they arrested all those people?

No mention of the calls for Sharia law or a caliphate either.

Really? How about: Don't invite a bull into the China shop if you value the merchandise. And: the Japanese are not attacking. Both outgrowths of your oft-repeated rallying cry.

Marisa's personal obsession for war... 🙃

Which parties made deals with Russia? AfD and CDU

@@Thor.Jorgensen which leftwing Chancelor is a good friend of Putin? Right.. Gerhard Schröder xD

@@88lightwarrior He was a good friend of Boris Yeltsin, not Putin. Gerhard Schröder left office in 2005. Germany was in good condition in 2005 and prior. It was the CDU government who signed the bill for the construction of Nordstream 2 and full reliance on Russian gas, arguing that free market capitalism paved the way to peace with Russia. Clearly, they were wrong.

@@Thor.Jorgensen What's wrong with Russia?

@@Robert-uy1gd With Russia? Nothing. Russia is a lovely country and wonderful people who make great and loyal friends. The problem is with the Russian government. The problem is with the 110 Russian governmental officials who own more than 30% of all the wealth in the country. I believe these funds belong to the people. And that the people should have the freedom to speak their minds without going to jail for it.

cdu/csu is centre right!

It's hard to believe Germany has any real far right party. Wanting to resuce immigration alone is not far right .

AFD is Right to extreme right. But AfD is only party which has some goals which were normal 10 years ago.

​​​​@@1mnyenaphar727 🤔 no, right from centre right. SPD is centre right.

Difficult, since greens have become olivgreens and lunatic !

That the AfD is allowed to exist, meet, get voted into positions of office, is clearly allowed, no? If by 'criticism' you mean to hospitalise a politician with opposing views, then no, it's not allowed actually.

@@adamaenosh6728 No. Thats not what he meant and you know it.

@@petercollingwood522 I'm not sure why he would make that comment on a video like this, so no I don't know it at all

​@@adamaenosh6728were you as upset when AfD politicians were beaten? Or are they second class humans?

@adamaenosh6728 when you make peaceful revolution impossible, you know how it goes. If you are critical of immigration in ANY way you are labeled blah blah blah, so this is the consequence when you improperly label people as radicals when all they want is a safe God damn community to live in.
