Das klingt nach einer vernünftigen Art mit Nachbarschaftskleinkriegen umzugehen

The other comment is definitely far too simplicistic in its proposition, but I'll point out that Communism doesn't have to be authoritarian. That's just the result of violent revolution, necessarily carried out by people so convinced that their ideology is right that they'll use violence to assert it. Revolution requires unity, so dissidents present a real risk to a nascent movement.

Combine those two and you have a recipe for authoritarian suppression of all who disagree with the dominant ideology, or the dominant leader figure supposedly best representing it. What they might initially see as a necessary step to a better world then becomes a feedback loop: Anyone who argues that they're past the point where this policy is still necessary and justified is a dissident by definition.

Conversely, authoritarian policy also doesn't require communism. It's perfectly possible to have a non-communist ideology in power that suppresses all opposition. The problem isn't communism, it's violence: once started, it's hard to reign in again and keep on the right track.

I intentionally make up horrors and monsters to lurk in the shadows or under my bed. Sometimes when I can't fall asleep, I stare at a corner of the room, imagining some unsettling creature that could be lurking there, staring back at me (if it has eyes at all). I imagine something reaching up to grab the leg I'm stick out over the edge.

But they can't actually get me. They're created, sustained and dispelled by my will. They may stare at me, reach for me, but they're powerless. When I'm done with them, I send them back to the half-existence in the collection of ideas I built them from.

It's a cruel power fantasy, to make up monsters incapable of understanding that they're the lesser horror between us, but it's fun.

It also seems to help me sleep, but that might just be the fact that focusing my brain on one thing quiets all the background noise.

Yeah, there's a blurry line between hatred against foreigners and fighting back against displacement, and it's vaguely parallel to the line between immigrants trying to integrate and invaders trying to overtake.

The tourists may have no malicious intent, so things aren't quite as straightforward, but if the end result is that they're contributing to a destructive trend, non-violently bringing attention to that is the best response I could think of.

Es reicht, wenn sich schon einzelne daneben benehmen, um kollektiv zu verunsichern. Das meint nicht nur direkte körperliche Belästigung, sondern auch unerwünschte / obszöne Kommentare oder Gesten und gierige Blicke.

Das muss auch nicht mal direkt in Freiburg geschehen: bei einer Bevölkerung 236k kannst du schlecht abschätzen, ob die wirklich alle anständig sind. Wenn wir annehmen, dass die Hälfte davon Männer sind, und 99,99% der Männer anständig, sind das immernoch 12 Gründe zur Sorge.

Wenn du dann in den Nachrichten hörst / liest, dass irgendwo wieder jemand übergriffig wurde, fragst du dich schon: "Kann das hier passieren? Kann das mir passieren?"

If anything, their employees should have gotten more

Ich glaube, das bezieht sich auf den Komparativ von frei: Sie schwimmen freier, weil sie sich weniger Sorgen darum machen, ob sich womöglich irgendein Mann daneben benimmt. Die meisten Männer mögen anständig sein, aber es reicht dann halt doch mal ein Mistkerl um zu verunsichern.

"Straftaten? Oh gott! Wir müssen dringend die Polizei bewaffnen um das zu bekämpfen!" – Polizeistaatfetischisten die vermutlich auf genau dieses Ergebnis abziehlen. Keine effektivere Begründung für Kontrolle als "um dich zu schützen", also erstmal Gefahr schaffen und nebenher bereichern.

I get why it's done from a narrative point of view, but some obnoxious pedantic voice in my head never stops wondering why people would write down obscure lore notes in the middle of a disaster or when they're about to die. It makes sense for some organisation's agents to document their discoveries and leave (incremental) reports on-site in case they don't make it back for a full report, but some random raider in FO4 noting down how pissed he is with his boss?

Of course, I'm a sucker for lore, so I'll take it, particularly when it's in audio log form during exploration sections so I can keep exploring and listen instead of stopping to read.

Friedliche Proteste sind wichtig und richtig, aber sie sind nur ein Bellen. Wenn es keine Konsequenzen für mich hat, kann ich sie ignorieren, vielleicht sogar unterdrücken.

Was ihnen Macht und Legitimität verleiht ist die Angst vor dem Biss. Wenn ich befürchten muss, dass es zu Gewalt kommt, wird das ganze eine Risiko-Rechnung die ich nicht mehr ignorieren darf.

Die Gewalt ist unschön, aber bisher leben wir eben in einer Welt, wo guter Wille alleine nicht reicht. Die Massenproteste verunsichern genau deshalb, weil man Angst hat, dass sie eskalieren könnten.
