Brickbat: Misogyny on Main

German police raided homes across the nation and interrogated 45 people suspected of posting misogynistic content online on what the police called a "combating misogyny on the internet" day of action. "Today's day of action makes it clear: We consciously go into the spaces of hate, identify acts and perpetrators, take them out of anonymity and bring them to accountability," said Holger Muench, the head of Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office. The names of the suspects will now be sent to local prosecutors to decide if charges will be filed.

Just so long as it's not protected hate, such as that which seethes from groups like environmentalists, feminism (but NOT the TERFs), LGBT, and DEI/CRT folks.

Sieg heil!

First they came for the incels...

"Communications that are considered illegal include posts in which women are slandered and insulted in a sexualized manner, or publicly encouraged to send nude photos. The authorities also flagged posts that advocated rape or sexual assault or that distributed videos of torture or killing.

The raids concentrated on suspects who had set their sights on well-known women like female politicians - often the target of misogynistic hatred online. Investigators also sought out suspects who have threatened women not in the public eye."

So, "thought crime", we are talking about thought crimes here. Protecting the political class, as well. Germany is so afraid of its Nazi past that it is becoming totalitarian to prevent a relapse.

[Don't look at me!]

…that distributed videos of torture or killing.

Somehow, I bet movies in theaters are exempt.

[Rubbish!]

If they have to kill every last Palestinian in Gaza to be sure they aren't distributing any videos of rape, torture, and killing of Israeli or other women... so be it.

[Social Justice is neither]

Afraid of their Nazi past or embracing their Nazi past with a new disfavored group?

How is this different from the rounding up of gypsies, gays and jews in WWII? The trains and camps came later.

They gender swapped Hitler!

They really missed an opportunity in the second ditty using "Munchkin Land" rather than "Münchenland".

It's funny that Americans are ignorant of Riefenstahl's 1933 movie celebrating the success of Christian Nationalsocialist leader Hitler. The title was Sieg des Glaubens, meaning Victory of Faith--see the Internet Archive. Her second Hitlerfick flick--with images of females tongue-lusting after the dic-tator--is less religious, hence less embarrassing to Trumpanzistas. BTW, a wiser Germany just decriminalized weed.

[TJJ2000]

I know… Let’s just allow internet infrastructure to be sold off to Germany! /s Then the USA can do the same under the disguise of foreign treaties.

Mysogynacht

Apparently, Germany has the equivalent of a Supreme Court nominee that can not only answer the question "What is a woman?" but also "What is *my* definition of a woman on the internet?" with flawless accuracy.

[Jerry B.]

Democrats take notes.

[Earth-based Human Skeptic]

Is misogyny like misinformation?

Then what is disogyny?

[Roberta]

You mean misterinformation.

[Social Justice is neither]

I thought that was mansplaining. Am I a definition iteration behind again?

[Roberta]

...

Right.

Homes had to be raided to find misogynistic goods laying around the house.

[MWAocdoc]

"... said Holger Muench, the head of Germany's [Federal Criminal Police Office] Gestapo." There ... fixed it for you ...

[MrMxyzptlk]

If women are so fragile and need that much protection from mean men then are they really mature enough to vote, hold public office or take positions of leadership in industry?

[LIBertrans]

While Germany's AfD Trumpanzistas labored to bully and enslave girls and keep busting hippies (for God and "freedom"), other parties just decriminalized weed in what was Hitler's Christian National Socialist Reich! You didn't know? DW dotcom in English just headlined the story.
You can anarco-fascist some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time. But you can't anarco-fascist all of the people all of the time!
