I am sorry but you just sound like a smuggie. "2 nazi incidents? There is a growing trend and obvious problem! A couple dozen incidents of migrants hating on natives? Isolated incidents overblown by the nazis."

You took obvious hyperbole at face value, and then tried to downplay it as not being a issue despite being a much more common occurence than your "real problem" just because it did not match the hyperbole. How many migrant crimes would you need to see exactly to draw a conclusion similar to the one you claim for the "Nazi Emergency"? Because for the one synagogue shooting I can show you at least 4 incidents since Merkel forced the borders open in 2014 of the Religion of Peace doing similar stunts. And those are just the ones that got dedicated wikipedia pages for them, there is a multitude of smaller attacks, violence and incidents that got next to no media coverage as well.

Hate crime on both sides is growing, but the greater threat by far is right-wing motivated crime.

The first part of that sentence if absolutely correct. But the second one is pretty subjective.

As for your link: It never actually shows the source of the claims of some 8 to 9 thousand "right wing incidents". I assume this is from a FSB or similar agency reporting these in a nice and orderly manner similar to how the FBI releases statistics every year. But the simple way this data is presented in the article is worrying.

For starters it uses "right wing" "far-right" and "neo-nazi" almost interchangeably. Then it goes to mention how of those almost 9k incidents only some 300+ were violent ones, which furthers adds to the question of what the number actually means and what sort of incidents are being reported here. If only 363 of these were violent crimes than what are the other 8k about? What does the number actually mean? And what is the number when it comes to migrant crime and incidents? Is such a number even tracked by the German government or have you guys been scrubbing the incidents on those cases under the rug like it was done in the 2016 Cologne New Years Eve incident?

This all combines with the fact that in Germany you guys seem to just dismiss all dislike and criticism of massive immigration as "right wing propaganda" and "hate-speech". How many of those 9k incidents are some edgy teenager making a Hitler meme on Discord? How many of them are swastikas being painted on public bathroom walls for shock value?

I am sorry if it sounds like I am off on a tangent, but this all connects back to your "Nazi emergency". Germany has a very low tolerance to Nazism, which is understandable but perhaps you have become too sensitive to it and ignoring other problems. The same criteria used to declare a Nazi emergency in Dresden could have easily been used to declare a "communist emergency" during the G20 meeting where Antifa and other Spartacus League wannabees went sicko mode on riot and car burning in 2017.

How long do you expect it to take for your platform to be denounced as "fake news", "alt-right", "Russian funded", "Chinese owned" and other such insults and accusation to be thrown because you are trying to hold media accountable?

Nope, this is a honest to God politician in Germany.

Getting rid of the Kaiser was a mistake.
