any sane person still living in the masquerading third-world-shithole called US, make your way to Europe, we love social security and freedom of expression, religion, movement and speech. Love and solidarity from Deutschland <3
Do you though? As much as I love Germany, you seem to have your own far-right problem. According to the news your government just banned the AfD party, and has been putting down protests over Israeli genocide in Gaza. That doesn't seem very free too me.
Point being, everybody has their problems, ours in the U.S. right now are pretty bad, but that doesn't mean the rest of the world is all roses and socialism.
Isn’t banning AfD a sign that they’re taking steps to correct the far-right problem?
yes, it is. The european idea of freedom is not total freedom and excemption from repercussions, the european idea of freedom is doing what you want AS LONG AS you don't infringe on other people's freedoms. And being proven anti-constitutional is very much infringing on pretty much all other freedoms, most notably and basic of all the human rights
