Gonna steal this from birdsite, its very good: A thread of what has happened over the last year in Germany (slightly edited):

- A fascist killed 9 people with immigration background in Hanau last night.

- A police raided a far-right, armed terrorist network planning to attack Muslims last week.

- A far-right terrorist attack on a synagogue in Halle and live streamed it.

- A pro-refugee, conservative German politician was murdered by a neo-Nazi.

- A bomb attack by neo-Nazis against a leftist politician.

- Nazis used police data to compile a "kill list".

- Neo-Nazi cells found within the German police.

- Neo-Nazi cells found within the German military.

Did you know that a German nazi executed a conservative politician in his home, just half a year ago? Since then we had three more major, fascist terror attacks including the one in Hanau yesterday. It is obvious that the German state is unable or unwilling to do anything against fascism.

Here is a list of attacks on refugee homes (highlighted in pink) during the year 2015, shortly after the big refugee crisis. A total of ~40 cases, assuming the list is complete. Luckily in most of those cases, no one was injured. The media didnt really report about this at all.

According to one commenter, this means that "China is accepting the American invitation to a new Cold War".

One of the most depressing things about living in a capitalist society is realizing how much human effort is devoted to useless, and often harmful things like ads. Some of the brightest people in the world are wasting their talent on this garbage while our planet is dying.
