    Talking about pulling teeth. Dude you’re super annoying and seem to deliberately misunderstand comments. You’re right, it’s not ‘good SOP’ to blindly trust based on what a government is saying, but no one is stating that.

    There is a point where the collective scientific community at large has consensus on a topic, with the ability to ignore a single government, entity, or political movement where it becomes believable. With the COVID vaccines we have passed that point by a very large margin.

    But you keep banging on about how scientific (almost complete) consensus the same as some random idiot from the US government saying ‘trust me bro’. That’s a false equivalence and I think you know it.



  • If you feel that you cannot exercise your right to criticize politicians in Germany you’re absolutely wrong. There are very few cases where prosecution took place.

    On the other hand: in Germany you don’t have to worry as much as in the US about getting shot by the police for being black, foreign, or doing something egregious like not keeping your hands on the steering wheel when pulled over. Even ‘being pulled over’ is not something that really happens. If you’re a tourist that’s not openly promoting nazi actions (I know that’s hard for half of Americans) you’ll be absolutely fine.
