Specifically: in Bavaria. Which is, of course, in Germany, but also a bit of a "state within a state", ruled by one party (the CSU) since the beginning of time, er, of the Federal Republic of Germany, and where things like this, which would cause much more outrage elsewhere, can and do happen.
- bowsamic 3y agoBavaria has really insane police overreach EDIT: I'm being downvoted for this? They literally have total police surveillance, all the Germans here in Hamburg talk about it all the time

- user_7832 3y agoWouldn't it depend on the context though? If someone's being downvoted for something correct but unpopular, is that okay as per site guidelines?
- dredmorbius 3y agoMy own practice is to largely ignore instances. They're not hurting my Imaginary Internet Points much at all. Very occasionally I'll ask if someone could clarify or substantiate concerns with a comment. But that's about as far as any notice should go.
- renewiltord 3y agoThis is the place which famously required wind turbines to be 10H the distance from a settlement for a height H.
- tpmx 3y agoThat sounds sane to me, honestly.
- bmicraft 3y agoFor other countries, maybe. But Germany doesn't really have any spot devoid of any settlement
- tpmx 3y agoSo then use nuclear power. Oh wait, you can't because there was an tsunami in Japan. Germany: "oh well, we'll increase burning clean coal, but create some crazy roadmap that we'll be carbon free in a few decades or so" Germany needs to get its shit together, energy-wise. You are a disgrace in the union, honestly. With your economical development and technical know-how levels you should be at the forefront.
- c4mpute 3y agoWe had technical know-how. Past tense. Then technology became evil incarnate. Nowadays we are scared of everything, ignorant of any kind of science. All policy and all public outrage is purely based on ideology and wishful thinking. If one kind of wishful thinking fails, we do not reconsider, we double down or replace by another, even weirder kind of wishful thinking. Basically, we are back to a pre-renaissance way of thinking. We are back in the dark ages. And I'm honestly scared of that.
