Scandal in the German Bundestag during November 9 commemoration

[Hatman 🍁]

this is a terrible, terrible thread.

Biermann is mostly right, but impestive and chose the wrong platform to talk.
Gyzi is mostly wrong, a old relic than Die Linke should get rid of and he also also chose the wrong platform to talk.

This is the right platform: it is the Bundestag.

No, it's a commemorative event to commemorate the fall of the Wall. It must unite the population, not divide it with political debates.

So, when commemorating the end of WWII we should unite with the Nazis?

Stop comparing apples and oranges.

Stop trying to whitewash the criminal GDR regime.

I don't see why this is a problem. It was a political statement about a political event in front of a political body.

Blaming Linke today for anything that happened in the GDR is like Oldiesfreak linking the modern Democratic Party to slavery.

A closer equivalent would be if somebody in 1890 was linking (Southern) Democrats to slavery.
