German media have reported that several people have been injured in the Bavarian capital after a car drove into a group.

  • There were 1136 violent crimes perpetrated by right-wing extremists in Germany in 2024. Just because the media doesn’t like to report on it doesn’t make it less true.

    Islamic extremism is a problem. It pales in comparison to right-wing, homegrown extremism.

      • It seems like the people of Germany (and France and Sweden and England, actually majority of Europe now that I think about it) disagree

        They can disagree all they like, the numbers don’t lie. Besides, these far right parties do not command majorities. AfD is at 20% (which actually is comparatively low compared to other countries).

        and that’s from 2018, the amount of attacks has only grown and so has the outrage

        The media likes to greatly magnify these events. Right-wing violence is orders of magnitude greater than Islamic violence is in Germany, but the media isn’t putting every attack on the front page.

          • Please don’t say this, we are discussing an attack by a migrant a week out from the election, many of those 30 germans injured are still in hospital as we speak… we’ll turn around and the AFD will outright win the election like Geert Wilders or Trump

            Polls barely moved after the last attacks. Geert Wilders did not “outright win” the election, he got 25% of the vote but was forced to abandon most of his anti-Islam rhetoric at the negotiation table, and even had to concede the position of PM to a bureaucrat formerly from the labour party. He’s in a somewhat unstable coalition with three other parties which would lose their majority if elections were held today, and he doesn’t have a majority in the senate.

            Just saw this, they must be placing the bollards due to all these right wing extremist attacks right?

            Yes: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Magdeburg_car_attack

            Most lethal recent one was perpetrated by an AfD fanboy.

            But they mostly had to station permanent police protection near mosques, synagogues and politicians from parties that aren’t the AfD. Still over 1300 attacks last year alone.
