Makes me wonder where this guy came from. Is he just some German neo-nazi type or is he a Russian that is a hard core Putin supporter? If the latter, why is he allowed in Germany? Though I suppose the question holds if he's the former too.

Foreigners living comfortably in the free west while supporting authoritarian assholes in their countries of origin make my blood boil. The fucking Russian bootlickers are just one side of the coin, the Turks who vote at the fucking airport for erdogan and then come back to live in a nice liberal society are just as bad. That’s an utter farce of an election.

That bullshit makes me resent double citizenships, its neither democratic nor fair, to either society. Make your bed and sleep in it.

I am a foreigner living in Germany and it makes my blood boil too. I feel really sorry for germans that they have to deal with these assholes and if they say something about it, they are called, racists, facists or na*is. I honestly wouldnt be mad if Germany gave more strict laws against foreigners, even if that means I have to leave the country.

In my office there is a russian asshole that is the most racist, misognystic, homophobic asshole that I have ever met in my life. He is pro russia and does everything he can to support Russia and damage Germany. Like he will leave lights on or equipment on during the whole night, just to consume electricity and gas.

As an ethnic Russian who migrated West from one of xUSSR countries - this is the reason why I stay as far away as possible from the Russian minority here. Fuck them all! Plus they don't really see me as Russian because I'm not from Russia itself originally, lol.

Turkish people telling Turks how Turkey is such a good country and that we should be grateful.... while living in Berlin 😐

Probably a Russian. Too many are living in Germany while worshipping Russian nationalism.

German neo Nazis wouldn't bother learning Russian. They'd think the kids were speaking Russian in the first place.

Exactly what I was going to say. If it's anything like in Poland, a typical neo-natzi is either:

a politician doing it to find their niche
a paid actor that somehow despite promoting nationalism says that we should stop supporting Ukraine, it's full of bad Nazis, and shouldn't be a country
a complete moron that follows one of the above and can speak three quarters of a language.

1 Doesn't give a fuck. 2 Does it mainly for money. 3 Can't distinguish anything.

Though again, someone could have told the number 3. what to do.

Neo-nazis are Putin supporters, strangely enough. Which makes them traitors in addition to everything else they already are.

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
