Other countries may not have learned the lessons of history Germany tried to rectify with Art 9 Par 2 GG, as is evident by comments like these. Unfortunately, the Germans themselves have forgotten. Never Forget rings hollow these days.

I'd recommend reading up on German constitutional theory and consider the historical precedent that might've lead them to realize the importance of having their democracy be defensive - something they're failing to live up to

You keep claiming all these statistical failures, yet you fail to produce evidence for any of them. I'm sorry, but I trust actual statistics experts more than some guy on HN that makes bold assertions with no proof. To say "nuh uh

Again, Comcast is not an "activist group" and the study literally got awarded by the Royal Statistical Society. As a cherry on top, they do owe researchers in the EU (though this was done in the UK, I know Sky has an EU presence
