@aenea @scrappy_capy_distro There are cops everywhere and there's always has been. The problem is that Germans are so terrified of going to jail that they let the existence of cops prevent them from any building of community, any proposal of action. Which is of course the reason for the cops in the first place, counter-insurgency 101: The snitches are not there to catch people who punch nazis, they're there to make people too paranoid to propose punching nazis. It's working.

It's "security culture" converted into an excuse to prioritise individual interests. Go to a Kurdish meeting some day--don't worry, unlike Germans they're open to outsiders and to different opinions--and see how expansively they organise, how welcoming of new people. And then realise that they are under *way* stronger surveillance and face *way* stronger repression than white German antifa ever will.
