Yes, I realize that sounds quite similar, but, according to the government and the German media, there is absolutely no equivalence whatsoever, and anyone who suggests there is is “a far-right AfD extremist,” “a neo-Nazi conspiracy theorist,” or “an anti-vax esotericist,” or whatever.Īs the revised Protection Act was being passed (i.e., the current one, not the one in 1933), tens of thousands of anti-totalitarian protesters gathered in the streets, many of them carrying copies of the Grundgesetz (i.e., the constitution of the Federal Republic of Germany), which the parliament had just abrogated. This revised “Infection Protection Act,” approval of which was rushed through the parliament, is not in any way comparable to the “ Enabling Act of 1933,” which formally granted the Nazi government the authority to issue whatever edicts it wanted under the guise of remedying the distress of the people. but now it has been “legitimized” by the Bundestag, enshrined into law, and presumably stamped with one of those intricate official stamps that German bureaucrats like to stamp things with.
The government has been doing this anyway - ordering lockdowns, curfews, travel bans, banning demonstrations, raiding homes and businesses, ordering everyone to wear medical masks, harassing and arresting dissidents, etc. In case you missed it, on November 18, the German parliament revised a law, the so-called “Infection Protection Act” (“Das Infektionsschutzgesetz” in German), formally granting the government the authority to issue whatever edicts it wants under the guise of protecting the public health.
The “I was just following orders” Germans.
The “I didn’t know where the trains were going” Germans. Break out the Wagner, folks … the Germans are back! No, not the warm, fuzzy, pussified, peace-loving, post-war Germans … the Germans! You know the ones I mean.
