    If scholz were to pass martial law they would turn into a ruler that more resembles a dictator.

    Anyway the “democracies” we live in have more in common with a dictatorship than the perfect ideal of democracy one has in mind. Go protest a topic your government doesn’t like (gaza genocide for germany) and you will be treated close to how anti-war protesters get treated in russia.

      So, why are you right on that? Did you try protesting gaza genocide? Did you see what happened?

        I remember quite well some videos being posted here on lemmy like the police chasing the kid with the palestine flag.

          So your source is in fact internet propaganda… Do you know why they did it? Or what happened to the boy after?

          Police deemed a protest including violence and vandalism wasn’t a good place for an unsupervised 10 year old boy. So they took him out of there, whether he liked it or not. And proceedingly returned him to his father. That’s it.

          I mean I wasn’t there. But I have no reason to question the validity of that. And looking at the video, these policemen and women were super chill. They didn’t lay a hand on that child. They barely touched him. And they completely ignored the protesters and bystanders throwing things at them and the kid. Which is very remarkable IMO. Usually if you throw things at police, they don’t like that at all. Especially if they’re not wearing a helmet.
