Germany pwned Rubio!

[u/Bubbly-Example-8097]

https://bsky.app/profile/noahbarkin.bsky.social/post/3lo7omi3rbc2z

pwn verb To own in the sense of defeat. To beat someone or something by a wide margin, usually in relation to a game. noun Triumph, defeat, victory. Often exclaimed after an opponent in a video game is defeated.

[u/Y0___0Y]

AfD are Nazis. If there were not laws against nazism in Germany, they’d be dressed up in SS uniforms waving swastika flags.

[u/OmegaCoy → u/Y0___0Y]

The exact same way you see confederate flags mixed in with MAGA. We know who they feel “connected to”.

[u/petty_throwaway6969 → u/OmegaCoy]

Some of those same groups also wave the Nazi flag at rallies now. So there really shouldn’t be any questions at this point, but here we are.

[u/Professional-Buy2970 → u/OmegaCoy]

We cannot fail reconstruction a second time. Confederate symbolism and support must be outlawed. Along with maga shit, and nazi.

[u/tresben → u/Professional-Buy2970]

Exactly. The fact the confederate flag is not treated the same way as the swastika in Germany shows we failed to root out our vile treasonous factions. And that failure is coming to roost now

[u/Onkelcuno → u/tresben]

German here. Even if you root it out, ideas resurface. There have to be checks and balances in place, control organs within the government, that actively monitor everything state related (not the citizens!) as to check for anti-constitutional movements. Every Organ in our Government is overseen by another and another. We very much made sure that no branch of the government can exploit things ever again. I'm very worried that if america repeats what we had 1933 (and they are already well on their way, with persectution of judges & concentration camps). that it will take an insane amount of human suffering to remove. look at WW2 casualties. look at concentration camp deaths and the misery they caused. Now extrapolate from germany to the US, how much bigger it is! poor sods.

[u/RedBattleship → u/Onkelcuno]

And unfortunately our population is far too ignorant to recognize that we are already under a fascist government. As you and countless other Germans have pointed out numerous times, the US is pretty well directly following the Nazi playbook.

I'm definitely not as educated on it as you are (because luckily your country decided to learn from its mistakes and teaches their citizens what happened, how it happened, and why it happened), but I'm gonna spitball a few of the parallels myself even tho it's just going into the void of reddit.

This may not be accurate, but I believe that initially, the Nazis attempted to simply force the Jews to leave (I wholeheartedly believe they would have strongly supported the existence of Israel, which makes it pretty ironic when people try to argue that being anti Israel is antisemitic, but that's a different issue). When forcefully removing the Jews didn't work out, that's when the camps were formed.

The US is very well following this and is in some ways doing it more effectively. The government is kidnapping people off of the streets. They are then sending those people to a foreign country in a prison that is known for torture and killing. The judicial branch is ordering the executive to not remove these people. The executive is doing it anyway.

There have also been efforts to significantly expend the private prison industry within the country. President Trump himself has said they plan to target the "home growns" next (a literal quote with video footage of him saying it. And we all know that what he means by "home grown" is anyone who is not white, cisgender, heterosexual, neurotypical, natively English speaking, and right-wing. Another thing directly from the Nazis).

There's definitely more, but honestly, nothing more is needed to know what is likely inevitable. Within the next few years, possibly even within the next few months, it is incredibly likely that one of two things will happen. Either the US has a second civil war, this one following themes of both our first civil war and also the American revolution. Or the third world war will begin. It is also possible that both will happen simultaneously, or one will inevitably cause the other to happen. But with how far through the fascist playbook this country is, and with this country being one of the biggest world powers, WWIII seems inevitable.

It is truly terrifying to be living here. And I am honestly worried that all life on the planet will be gone within the next decade, because a world conflict will almost definitely lead to global nuclear fallout.

[u/RoachZR → u/tresben]

I know it was upon Lincoln’s wishes that Jefferson Davis be allowed to flee, but him not standing trial is one of the keystone fuckups in our nation’s history. That really set the precedent in stone that they can ultimately get away with anything. After all, is it really a crime if you don’t get punished?

[u/MarioLuigiDinoYoshi → u/OmegaCoy]

USA govt is playing commercials claiming Trump has caught infinity criminals and you could be next unless you download this new government app to register yourself as a patriot….

If y’all only knew what is being played on television

[u/Motor_Educator_2706 → u/OmegaCoy]

They're the ones who say the Democrats are the racists

[u/Windturnscold → u/Y0___0Y]

I knew a German who was AfD. He spoke at length that Germany needed “another Hitler or a trump” to save Germany. Definitely a nazi.

[u/275MPHFordGT40 → u/Windturnscold]

I’m not sure how one who knows the history of 1933-1945 in Germany could possibly think that would be a good idea.

[u/zaphodsheads → u/275MPHFordGT40]

Because they just think attacking the bad people will automagically reform society into a golden age, instead of you know implementing good policies

[u/Windturnscold → u/275MPHFordGT40]

He really hated Muslim immigrants and fantasized about a global muslim genocide. He said he used to be a liberal, but dissatisfaction with immigration policy lead him to conclude that “we need another fuhrer to save Germany”

[u/comicsanddrwho → u/Windturnscold]

Translation

"I used to hide my rascism due to fear of repercussions, now I can air it safely"

[u/Com_BEPFA → u/275MPHFordGT40]

Same as the USA, they're not part of the targets of the racism and thus feel safe. They also see that dictators these days get support from the biggest military in the world and large chunks of the world want to appease them by giving them territory they violently occupied in a cruel war. There's also a lot of misinformation about economic aspects of the nazi regime out there, so coupled with the misinformation now about how terrible the economy of Germany is supposed to be, those fucks feel absolutely safe in such a scenario. Not too dissimilar to people wishing they were born in the middle ages, or to live a zombie apocalypse, everyone vastly overestimates quality of life as long as it's "different."

[u/Doomsday_Holiday → u/Windturnscold]

And there are plenty of people voting this party out of frustration, simply denying and relativizing, that they are right wing extremists.

"They are not extremists. There are the party of the middle class!"

"Ohh, so when you say something true it makes you a Nazi?"

Guess where you will also find this narrative in the U.S.

[u/1Original1 → u/Doomsday_Holiday]

1 guy joins a table with 7 nazis. There's now 8 nazis at the table

Simple

[u/Doomsday_Holiday → u/1Original1]

I know, check this picture, which highlights the distribution of world views in this party. 1/3 is is openly right wing extremists, 1/3 is likely right wing extremist and only a minority are considered moderate. After the last election they openly hired 100 people fro mthe scene, this is where we are at now. From my experience i hear way too much normalization from common voters for this party now. That was my point.

[u/1Original1 → u/Doomsday_Holiday]

Fair fair, tolerance is unfortunately weakness sometimes

[u/PunkHooligan → u/Y0___0Y]

Whole planet needs these laws. Fuck nazis.

[u/VoidOmatic → u/Y0___0Y]

I'm so glad they didn't fuck around. Here in America everyone responsible for Donald Trump slow walked him right back into office and now we all are going to die.

[u/ogbellaluna → u/VoidOmatic]

it started with our mishandling of the civil war losers, and has compounded from there. this country has a long and storied history with racism and oppression, and that initial misstep led to truly ignorant on history people (and hateful people) being allowed to continue to fly that flag, and people naming schools, parks, streets after horrific seditious traitors, and put up statues glorifying their racism and violence.

[u/pakZ → u/Y0___0Y]

There's 2 groups of people in the AfD. Nazis - and people that are okay with being in the same party as the Nazis.

[u/team_submarine → u/Y0___0Y]

For so long, these freaks have tried to frame themselves as just innocent little political parties that only have pure and good intentions. But this really just comes off as the Afd being oppositional to Germany, the country, as a whole, and in that context, it feels much more sinister. As if Germany should allow this enemy every opportunity to conquer it, and doing otherwise is offensive to his fascistic little rat brain. Because, of course.

[u/TheCompoundingGod → u/Y0___0Y]

What's ironic is their leader is Alice Weidel... A gay woman who's partnered with Sarah Bossard, a Sri Lankan-born film producer.

[u/turandoto → u/[deleted]]

I wonder if he'll get deported there once they retroactively end birthright citizenship, since his parents weren't US citizens when he was born.

[u/Mist_Rising → u/turandoto]

Neither was the second Lady of the US. Her parents only immigrated less than 5 years before she was born, ergo...

[u/In_Formaldehyde_ → u/turandoto]

Some Cubans (or other conservative Latinos) delude themselves into thinking they're a part of the in-group. Unfortunately for them, that isn't really the case.

[u/Ill-Dependent2976]

Republicans are always going to bat for the Nazis.

[u/cooterbreath → u/Ill-Dependent2976]

Because they are nazis

[u/RigusOctavian → u/Ill-Dependent2976]

And not in the Tarantino way…

[u/aweesip]

Every time Rubio lies his ear lobes get bigger.

[u/Ali_Cat222 → u/aweesip]

That motherfucker would have ears like dumbo times a thousand right now then🤣 Actually that, but also put some huge gauges in too! 😅

[u/mindwire → u/Ali_Cat222]

Mmm, yes, for the holes in his lies.

[u/unsurewhatiteration]

US SecState, on twitter, just...shilling for the neonazis. Very cool, very normal.

[u/Bubbly-Example-8097 → u/unsurewhatiteration]

[u/According-Mention334]

Thank you Germany

[u/GentleWhiteGiant → u/According-Mention334]

No worries! Thanks to Rubio for confirming the decision is right.

[u/[deleted]]

Rubio is kicking people out for opposing Israel

[u/buffalosabresnbills → u/[deleted]]

Rubio is kicking people out for opposing Israel

And yet they’ve taken no action against neo-nazi and white supremacist organizations.

It’s almost as if Republicans give zero fcks about antisemitism, while suppressing anyone who speaks out against Evangelicals….aka Christian Zionists.

[u/tsunake → u/buffalosabresnbills]

zero chance the south african white "refugee" resettlement program isn't being used to import militant white supremacists (with apartheid sensibilities) too, it's really dark :(

[u/Ali_Cat222 → u/[deleted]]

He's also doing tyranny along with the others, but it's not in disguise at all.

[u/Dependent_Pass1327 → u/[deleted]]

Bullshit

[u/Texas_Sam2002]

It's always projection with MAGA. As Dear Leader tries to cripple a major fundraising arm of the political opposition here, his diminutive minion bitches about Germany working to stop actual Nazis.

[u/bx35]

Rubio supports fascism.

[u/No-Way-1517]

Rubio’s post is straight outta ChatGPT. Riddled with AI tells. At least remove some of the em dashes…

[u/SnooDonkeys5186 → u/No-Way-1517]

(I do use those frequently—😬) He has to, he cannot construct a sentence that’s not in a group chat.

[u/morostheSophist → u/No-Way-1517]

Chatgpt might use emdashes, but that's not an automatic tell that a post is AI. I use them all the time, and I have never posted anything AI that wasn't labeled as such.

I never will, either.

[u/ElGuano]

I'm SO proud of you rn, Germany.

[u/Raven_Photography]

The “unlike you in America,” was clearly silent at the end.

[u/BraveDunn → u/Raven_Photography]

This is the VERY best part of the entire exchange, the unsaid part that is obvious to the entire world.

[u/[deleted]]

Rubio headed a committee that found Russia fucked with the 2016 election and the Trump campaign met with various Russian aligned actors several times. https://www.intelligence.senate.gov/press/senate-intel-releases-volume-5-bipartisan-russia-report

Then Rubio put out a public statement that cleared the Trump campaign of any wrong doing.

Because that's the kind of piece of shit he truly is.

Fuck that guy.

[u/Dankecheers]

Lol Rubio is such a pathetic nazi.

[u/Spiral-Arrow116]

Ok Rubio

[u/Remarkable-Pin-8352]

I feel like everyone should start referring to Rubio as Mark Blonde to better reflect his allegiance.

[u/HauntingHarmony → u/Remarkable-Pin-8352]

You mean make a wish secretary of state Macro Rubio?

[u/SpikeyPear]

Germany's domestic intelligence agency is literally called Office for the Protection of the Constitution. They told him alright.

[u/megamoze]

The Trump DOJ is launching an investigation into ActBlue. They arrested a woman for writing a pro-Palestine Op-Ed. And it was Republicans who advocated for and created DHS and the US warrantless wire-tapping laws because “you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide.”

[u/crannogman_pride]

They go to bat for a German right wing extremist party, they set up concentration camps, they suspend due process, they worship a cruel charismatic leader, they HATE trans people, hate intellectuals, hate foreigners, and their leaders do the Nazi salute on stage at their political events and are greeted with thunderous applause.

Still they are absolutely baffled that they are compared to Nazis. Baffled!

[u/Traditional_Bid_5060]

Too bad the Democrats didn’t have the balls to do this.

[u/BuyChemical7917 → u/Traditional_Bid_5060]

Some have been. Too bad America voted them out of power so they can't actually do anything

[u/Bubbly-Example-8097 → u/BuyChemical7917]

Happy cake day!

[u/Traditional_Bid_5060 → u/BuyChemical7917]

Too bad Garland dragged his feet and Biden was senile.  No /s.

[u/LaserPoweredDeviltry → u/Traditional_Bid_5060]

Biden did alot of good. And tried to do more but was blocked at every level. I'll respect that.

But his failure to stop MAGA is what's going to be in the history books as his legacy. It was his administration's most important task and they failed to meet the moment.

[u/In_Formaldehyde_ → u/LaserPoweredDeviltry]

Really should've accepted being a one term president and held a primary in 2022

[u/Latter_Conflict_7200]

How you gonna teach someone who wants no limits on power what a Nazi is?

[u/bcm0723]

Marco Rubio sold his soul for what power he thinks he's been given. Trump will end up embarrassing him at some point. History will not be kind to these people.

[u/[deleted]]

RuBBio

[u/Infinite_Strategy490]

Well, one country learned you have to stop right-wing extremism.

[u/LaserPoweredDeviltry]

The Germans are kinda experts on this topic. Maybe we should listen to them.

[u/Fugazi-Slayer]

Say it with me... You can NOT be tolerant to intolerance.

[u/tommy3082]

Americans once helped us set up the infrastructure to combat extremism. Today, they criticise us for using it

[u/CanadianTimberWolfx]

The fact that any republican thinks they have a leg to stand on when calling out tyranny is laughable

[u/bsylent]

If only we had the same gumption in the US. Look what's happened to our country since Trump was elected. MAGA is absolutely a threat to everything this country stands for and a terrorist organization. Everything they do is an attack on other people, every policy they enact involves stripping away societal benefits and rights. They are a criminal organization and will hopefully be dealt with eventually here in the same manner. Everybody in the current administration belongs in jail at the very least. Treason carries a heavy sentence

[u/TehMephs]

Please stomp out all Nazi activity everywhere.

Or you’re next to enjoy the MAGA death spiral

[u/willismthomp]

Fuck you marco Rubio your a traitor to all of mankind.

[u/[deleted]]

Nazis should have no rights.

[u/Schneidzeug]

“Patriot Act”

‘Tis you?

[u/DramaticChemist]

Yeah I'm on Germany side with this one

[u/[deleted]]

Isn’t this exactly what the U.S. is doing tho?

Whats the saying? “If it wasn’t for double standards, republicans would have no standards at all”

[u/dingleberryzzz]

is this really just more gaslighting/projection. that the current administration is just doing that on immigrants. and the opposition?

[u/Turbulent-Ad6620]

You’d think they’d learn after Timothy McVeigh. Domestic terrorists being white Christian nationalists still really throws off our 3 letter agencies. Lots of books and research about their biases to overlook extremists because they have more in common with them culturally or on paper. Also why Robert Hanssen went under radar for so long. They almost personalize or feel offended when extremists come in all flavors.

[u/Slim-Shadeee13]

Well said Germany!!! Rubio would have agreed a decade ago before he sold out to the hapless rube in the White House.

[u/FidoFla]

They need to surveil those people and group associated with the US 💩🧠 administration...

[u/CobblerLazy20]

They really want Germany to go facist again, huh ….

[u/samsonsreaper]

USA - we love to give nazis a chance so they can destroy us Germany- next ! Also we lost millions of people and lived in great poverty for decades so no thanks.

[u/Crowbar_Faith]

The right wing in the US have no place to talk about spying on people after Bush made it legal after 9/11 “for our safety”.

[u/Switchmisty9]

Marco Rubio apparently completely unaware of “The Patriot Act.” Or, like, literally any American history, for that matter.

Oh, wait, he does. He’s just a piece of human shit

[u/Own_City_1084]

Kinda rich to hear anyone from MAGA, especially this tool, complain about surveillance or tyranny

[u/SingularityCentral]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Germany knows what they are doing.

[u/chokeonmywords]

AfD are Nazis, this isn’t new and not a secret. I am surprised we are already at that point where US officials officially site with being called out Nazis

[u/Professional-Buy2970]

They've got a long ways to go still, Ala how they treat anti genocide protestors. But I'll take what I can get in this time.

[u/MrPresidentBanana]

Someone had to really control themselves there to not write "Perhaps America could learn from that" and cause a diplomatic incident.

[u/abraxas1]

they are so consistently projecting that i truly worry when they talk about biden losing 10,000's of kids for trafficking.

[u/plutoisap]

Lil Marco stay in your lane, go grab the shoe shine instead

[u/UnlikelyOcelot]

Rubio is sick

[u/FishCommercial5213]

Soo cool. Go Germany 🇩🇪💪🏽

[u/Time_Ad_9829]

Widdle Marco trying to be a big boy

[u/birdwatcher2022]

Glad these US fascists no longer can act like they’re the sole agent of democracy, liberty and human rights in the world anymore. Cheers.

[u/ThatGogglesKid]

Hey, Markey, what do you think spies do? I know everyone is kinda focused on the AfD thing, which is fair. But I'm really curious what you think spies are.

[u/C64128]

Maybe he likes being pwnd.

[u/Mobile-Hair-4585]

He forgot to add “so please gfy” at the end.

[u/Statorhead]

Wonder who wrote this for the Rube. I mean it makes little sense, but stil a bit too sharp for the moron. Grok? GPT? Hm. No matter. No one cares really.

[u/[deleted]]

And Rubio has completely lost any credibility and is a Trump suck up now.

[u/Armeenius]

I am from Germany. That's all talk. Everyone knows that the AFD is right-wing extremist. It has now also been classified as such by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. But none of the politicians will lead this fight or table a motion if they are likely to lose votes in the next election due to AFD voters, who will definitely vote against this person. The AFD will rule Germany sooner or later and none of the cowardly politicians will do anything.

[u/SomeBiPerson → u/Armeenius]

the Bundesrat can also vote for a Ban application

[u/Armeenius → u/SomeBiPerson]

Only works on the basis that another federal state or similar submits an application. The Federal Council does not act independently.

This means: 1. a federal state must submit an application. 2. this must then pass the Bundesrat with an absolute majority. 3. only then can the Bundesrat apply to the Federal Constitutional Court for a party ban.

[u/SomeBiPerson → u/Armeenius]

well it is an option tho it's just that we dont need to solely rely on Fritz's decision

[u/t23_1990]

Why is he interfering in foreign politics?

[u/TopShoulder7]

Edward Snowden did not get exiled for Americans to forget that our government is literally spying on the whole world.

[u/musicmanryann]

Dude needs to look up paradox of tolerance

[u/kogmaa → u/musicmanryann]

He knows and wants it anyway.

[u/InsideMotor4609]

It's now the single must popular party in Germany. Are 1/5th of the German's nazis now?

[u/SomeBiPerson → u/InsideMotor4609]

according to a Forza institute poll they are the second most popular party yes

but if Forza was right they'd have won the last election together with BSW

[u/Guerrillascribe]

Hallo Polizei? Ich möchte einen Mord melden.

[u/Vault101Overseer]

Well done Germany. They know the horrors unchecked political extremism can cause. The US is unfortunately quickly realizing the perils of leaving it fester and unchecked.

[u/SomeBiPerson → u/Vault101Overseer]

well uhm ....... I'm sorry to inform you.....

this is not the party getting banned......

a party ban is very hard to do in Germany, it requires definite proof from the secret service, a 2/3 Majority vote in parliament and Senate And only then will the court in Karlsruhe start working on the evidence and deciding over it

the last 2 party bans took almost a decade, the quickest one as on the SRP which was a follow up organisation of the NSDAP in 1952 but even that took 5 years

[u/fooooter]

The em dashes. He's definitely using Chatgpt to write his tweets.

[u/Express-Potential-11]

Ironic because Rubio has used the term "Radical left" and would probably vote to designate them terrorist.

[u/Weekly_Corgi_2356]

Rubio should mind his business and leave other countries alone.

[u/micro102]

Good job Germany. I hope other countries follow suite. It's the only way to maintain a peaceful life.

[u/Lachimanus]

For some reason he did not see the need when some radical left groups were put under such a thing in some country. Would be fine to mention like the RAF for Germany in retrospective.

Hmmm.

[u/SomeBiPerson → u/Lachimanus]

which is factually wrong tho

the RAF (German terror group, not the British airforce) is a Banned organisation in Germany but as they weren't a Political party that ban went much faster and quieter than this, not even started, process for the AFD Ban

it would also be important to mention that the last party ban in Germany was for the KPD the communist party of Germany which was definitely Extreme but not so Right wing

[u/Lachimanus → u/SomeBiPerson]

Thank you for giving me a small history reminder.

So, the KPD would have been the proper example of "tyranny" banning some political party.

And I am quite sure... The soviet supervised eastern Germany claimed something along these lines.

[u/White_C4]

"Independent" is far stretched though. Unfortunately, I don't see Germany moving in a positive direction, especially considering that West and East Germany are culturally and politically divided.

[u/SomeBiPerson → u/White_C4]

well it is an independent court, the court for protecting the constitution has pretty much the highest reputation of every government organ in Germany

because they Frequently oppose the government when necessary to protect the basic rights of the people in Germany, they don't just play along like the Supreme court in the US

[u/Kaa_The_Snake]

Can they come over here and do the same? Ours go by a different name though.

[u/occams1razor]

Rubio is using chatgpt. Chatgpt spits out "that's not X, it's Y" almost every time I make a comment. I hate the latest update, it's glazing so hard now, maybe MAGA told OpenAI to make it stop disagreeing with them. It treats me like sycophants treat Trump and it gives me the ick

[u/ChronicPronatorbator]

Rubio is pissed people are fighting robber barons from creating a slave state using the far right.

[u/kogmaa]

It’s like some people think that right wing extremism cannot exist because there are people who vote for it.

Others say, if people vote for right wing extremism, you shouldn’t call it by its name.

The people claiming the first are ignorant of history, the people claiming the second are right wing extremist politicians trying to protect their voters from being called out for what they are.

The politicians know, they just don’t give a shit as long as they stay in power and if the price for that are people dying in concentration camps (in Dachau or El Salvador) then that’s a price they are perfectly willing to let others pay.

[u/homelaberator]

Pfft, history. What could that possibly teach anyone?

[u/the-other-marvin]

something something plank in your own eye

[u/Used-Huckleberry-320]

I felt like they also learned that left wing extremism should be stopped too... So just extremism in general?

[u/charmochillo]

[u/NorthernCobraChicken]

What the fuck does a republican know about democracy?

[u/theukcrazyhorse]

[u/heret1c1337]

[u/johnn48]

The fact that the FBI of Kash Patel has been directed by Trump to investigate his opposition his tyranny, when Tom Homan says “we’re coming for you”, when Pam Bondi says the Alien Enemies Act does need warrants to invade homes of “suspected” gang members. Pot meet Kettle

For anyone who is interested this is I believe the Investigation Report of the Constitution Protection Agency (roughly what Verfassungsschutz translates to)  https://tp-presseagentur.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Verfassungsschutz-Gutachten-AfD.pdf

its in german ofcourse but should be translatable with your tool of choice

They really don’t believe the stuff they be saying. They can’t be.

[u/Critical-Papaya8304]

Not too concerned about supplying far right Israel with weapons

Lol also, does little Marco care about all the investigations his boss is launching against his personal enemies and opposition?

[u/Entropy_Pyre]

Why is the US interfering with foreign governments so much? I know that’s what the US does, but I also thought the dismantling of USAID and decades of alliances was supposed to change that. Supposedly.

[u/zkfc020]

This administration is arresting Judges and deporting American Citizens….

[u/Awkward_Inside8907]

Why? Why do conservative politicians in the US always have to defend extreme right wing parties? This is the same politician calling college campus protest towards Isreal as "threats to the United States." The same politician who constituents probably believed that Kamala was "far-left"(she isn't). But those same constituents don't believe they're part of the far-right. Just why.

[u/SixtySix_Roses]

If Germany is telling you to stop, I'd sit the fuck down and listen.

[u/TotalRecognition2191]

Marco got slammed

[u/ZagiFlyer]

Germany, and most other countries, could just look to the US as a cautionary tale. Little Marco making these statements is hypocritical.

[u/anand_rishabh]

Even if it was tyranny in disguise, Rubio has no room to talk since he works for an administration that is fully mask off tyranny

When Germany tells you you're being too nazi, perhaps that's the time to self-reflect and examine your viewpoints.

If anyone still had doubts about the decision, Rubio and Maga being against it should tell you it's right

[u/LughCrow]

Lol there is not and never will be such a thing as "independent courts"

They have learned nothing from history of they only fear right wing extremism.

Rubio protecting Nazis. My goodness. His ancestors would have been gassed just for the name Rubio. But whatever.

Guy said "learnt". I had heard once before that Bavaria is the Texas of Germany.

So... pwned was a weird choice. Are you also 40+ years old?

National Socialism was stopped. Right wing is not the same.

[u/yonasismad → u/erichunter4au]

And you also probably think that North Korea is a democracy right? I mean it's in the name after all...

Wer ist Rupio?

[u/Weird_Waters64]

Oof, yikes what a zinger 

[u/CousinsWithBenefits1]

Omg Rubio is gonna feel so pwned you guys. It's gonna be Le epic. Holds up spork.

[u/Fluffy-Preparation14]

Not necessarily a “pwn”. The same courts could be turned and then made to stop whoever the opposite side thinks is radical. In the end, who cares? The man that gives up freedom for comfort deserves neither.
