    How about they focus on the afd and other fascist groups. But no can’t go after the literal Nazis. It is so absurd how a bookclub > violent nazi mob.

    I… I thought banning the omnipresent complete joke “leftist/Marxist book club” that literally does nothing, was, like, nonsense out of bad American “Cold War pulp novel” type fiction. Like, sure, I wouldn’t be shocked if Cold War America did that, they banned every other way communists organise, but a sensible and “civilised” country banning a book club, that’s just… absurd.

    I should know better by now, to not let my jaw hit the floor when I see a headline ripped straight out of the Cold War appearing in the current news, but yet, I keep thinking it can’t get crazier and then it does. It’s almost getting to a point where we can play my favourite horror game down the party hall, throw a few real modern headlines and a few shocking taglines for similarly awful and insane real Cold War stories in a hat, mix them up, pull a headline and guess if it happened in the height of the Cold War or this year.

      I’d argue this is a particularly acute contradiction in the liberal west where people have been taught that the key differentiating factor between western regimes and the rest of the world is the freedom of expression. Now people are seeing that it was a lie all along.
