    So why does it happen here worse and more often than other places? Germany is sick, and Germans are sick.

      Fuck off with this nationalist essentialism. Germans are products of a lifetime of experiences, just like every other human being on the planet. There’s not some magic portal to the fascist plane seeping dark energy under Berlin.

      You should really learn History beyond your belly button.

      Lots of fascist regimes throughout History and pretty much worldwide.

      But Germany is one of the only countries to actually pay for it and go through a very long mea culpa, which is incidentally the reason why they side with Israel on this one.

      It doesn’t actually happen more often in Germany, though. Fascism was pioneered by Italy, and in more recent history there are several rightwing dictatorships in Europe that existed since at least 10 years ago. Fascists came into power in the USA just this year. Several of the more prosperous European countries either already have a far right government (Italy) or have a very sizable far right opposition.
