Military backup is not possible.

i refuse to believe that at this point,

too many "idiocy" happens around western politicians

The german laws do not allow for the bundeswehr to act inside of germany.

Even though there were 100,000 protesters, they were not all Antifa, either.

damn those germans and their self-damaging guilt!

well you don't have to strike down 100,000 protesters

but atleast have a strong-arm force around to strike down any that start causing trouble

Scholz wanted G20 to increase his profile and basically prepared for first of may.

There's been too many "errors in judgment" when it comes to Antifa.

Too many high-profile cases of them showing up and wrecking everything.

well thats my point about G20, antifa themselves don't even make a secret of their violent tendencies

the first few times, sure i'll let it pass to ignorance/idiocy

but if it just happens every time, then i'm calling bs

Overall... sure... i‘m kot talking about other incidents... but G20 was really just an idiot mayor that thought he knew better.

and i doubt these politicians live in a bubble so small they don't even notice when their neighboring allies say "Antifa is bad mojo"

Especially if you take into account where they've showed up to speeches, such as Ben Shapiro's talks, where the police were allowed to properly secure the area.

Nothing happened.

but maybe i'm just that faithful in humanity that i actually believe politicians to be smarter than that

i'll admit Trudeau has done more damage for my faith in humanity than i thought possibruu

Hamburg is... special... when it comes to stuff like this...

Perhaps, I guess, I don't know. It comes down to knowing other people's intent, and there's no way of literally being inside of their heads.

I like to think people are smarter than that, though.

i'll take your word on that Falko since you seem to know Hamburg personally, so are likely a better authority on it than me

And it just seems like such a cop-out argument.

it is always that thing of the universe just creating better idiots

wait, Scholz is a social democrat

<:reallyluna:327229591007657984>

i'll still chalk it up to "looking the other way" then

Chances of a Mayor in Hamburg being a „social democrat“ are well... lets say there have been 3 that were not since 1946... and one of them stepped in because one of the others stepped down 😁

well i mean it more in the sense of "Well these people have the same views i have"

Fuck no

he might not agree with the violence, but they're both socialist sides

The SPD in Hamburg is more Posh than the queen 😂

Germans don't have a queen

I mean the english one 😏

right

having my own monarchy i can't always assume people mean the queen of england 😄

Ah... i always forget that the netherlands have a monarchy 😁 but yeah... i used posh because i though ut would mske it clear that i was talking about the brits 😁

our monarchy is too "normal" though

Or... Inselaffen as we germans call them 😁

I want a king that escapes from his castle to have a drink at the local pub with people

and chases ministers with a sword

thats what i would do if i was king
