How can Europe call itself the bastion of liberty if you can detain someone because they participated in a protest, no strike that, because you feel they may participate in a protest. The bar has been lowered. Where does the rest of the world look up to now for the benchmark for fundamental rights?

- flohofwoe 3y agoThis is a very particular place within Europe called "Bavaria", a quasi-kingdom ruled by the same political party since time immortal. A bit like North Korea, but inhabited mostly by rich Catholics ;) (e.g. don't mix up "Bavaria" with "Europe", Bavaria's political situation is even atypical for Germany)
