      Does it different. In the US the violence is more up front. Here it’s done through mechanisms of the state.

        In Germany we are at a point where it’s difficult to identity antisemitism became everyone who doesn’t actively support the genocide in Gaza is called an antisemite

        We did it the best from 1933-1945, but currently we are nowhere near the american police state.

          I’d argue the Stazi were far more effective than the Gestapo, and that German police stating peaked in the mid 1980s.

            Fair enough with the Stasi. I could see how why, but I Am not capable of comparing the effectiveness of both.

              The Gestapo relied almost entirely on public informants. The Stasi had an extensive and qualitative surveillance apparatus.
