German authorities crack down on the skinhead group known for organising far-right concerts.
“Hammerskins” sounds like a bunch of guys who hang around smashing each other’s genitals with hammers
The stupidest thing about it is that the name is based on some imagery from the film for The Wall by Pink Floyd which very much made the point of “Fascism bad”
Sometimes satire is too good and just looks like how it is for the people who believe what you’re satirizing.
Why do they have the dumbest names?
Proud boys sound like a bunch of children who never had their parents acknowledge them.
Ok now do AFD
47% opposed, 47% in favour, including 10% of AfD voters (that makes sense when you consider protest votes… yes they’re idiots but not terminally so). Opposed also includes “we should deal with them in other ways”, i.e. naive liberals.
But that doesn’t matter as ultimately the constitutional court will have to decide, and I’ll go out on a limb and say that it’s almost guaranteed they’ll outlaw. Before that happens, though, either the government, Bundestag or Bundesrat will have to actually start the proceedings. That very much is a political decision.
Took them a while
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Germany has outlawed Hammerskins, a neo-Nazi group known for its role in organising far-right concerts and selling racist music.
The German authorities described the ban as “a hard blow against organised right-wing extremism” and said it was putting an end to “the inhumane actions of an internationally active neo-Nazi association”.
The group has, for example, been linked to a venue called Hate Bar in the western German state of Saarland, where police made arrests for the showcasing of banned symbols during far-right concerts as recently as April this year.
The German domestic intelligence agency previously said the group had also set up Germany’s biggest far-right martial arts event, called Fight of the Nibelungs, which has been banned since 2019.
Blood and Honour had close contacts to members of a neo-Nazi group that carried out 10 racially motivated murders in Germany.
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency estimates there are 38,800 people in the country’s right-wing extremist scene, with more than a third of them considered “potentially violent”.
The original article contains 529 words, the summary contains 165 words. Saved 69%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
organising
That would require a minimum of functional cell brains, something that’s lacking in that whole group.
The current political climate would suggest far right groups are actually pretty good at organizing and it’s the left who needs to get their shit together and mobilize.
good, fucking skinheads are stupid. however, what prevents people from distributing music? VPNs make it trivial to bypass any region locks, and Germany has a lot of borders, it’d be very easy to smuggle in just about anything.
Weird. And yet they fund fascist Ukraine?
I’m curious, what does putin’s dick taste like?

Who said anything about Biden?
Putin invaded Ukraine by himself, and the rest of the civilized world is against it. Not really a surprise that the US is also against Russia’s constant land grabs.

Nice deflection to the point that Putin’s Russia is the only one behind Ukraine’s invasion, with many nations opposing the clear and unprompted invasion. No counterpoint to that?

Sounds like whataboutism to me. Bad action on one side doesn’t justify bad action on another.
There are other communities you can go to to sate your curiosity.
I want an answer from someone who is actively gagging on it.
Again. All your curiosities can be served very well in other communities. Your fantasising here isn’t going to get you any dick.
I’m sorry, I can’t hear you when you’re gargling autocrat balls, what was that?
Text doesn’t work like that you moron.
It’s so easy to make tankies cry lmao
Go back to your little cave where you can enjoy deepthroating boot by yourself
How dare you interfere with my genocide, asked the tankie
