Hass auf queere Menschen: „Das Risiko steigt, angegriffen zu werden“
Geschichte des Extremismus in Deutschland | Terra X
Nov 19, 2020 | Seit über 100 Jahren bedrohen politische Extremisten unser Land. Meist geht die Gefahr von rechts aus, doch auch linke Gewalt und Terror sind in Deutschland nicht unbekannt. Schon die erste Demokratie auf deutschem Boden, die nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg 1918 entsteht, ist von Beginn an durch Extremisten von links und rechts gefährdet. Vor allem mit der Weltwirtschaftskrise 1929 kommt die Stunde der Republikfeinde. Das Land steht kurz vor dem offenen Bürgerkrieg. Doch das Ende der Weimarer Republik kommt demokratisch, immer mehr Deutsche wählen Hitlers NSDAP.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg versuchen Extremisten von rechts und links die Demokratie in Westdeutschland zu erschüttern und einen Systemwechsel herbeizuführen. Es entstehen rechte Parteien, und rechte Terroristen verüben Sprengstoff- und Brandanschläge. Doch die junge Demokratie wird auch von Links bedroht. Ende der 60er Jahre radikalisiert sich die Linke im Untergrund. Die Anschläge der Roten Armee Fraktion treibt die Bundesrepublik in eine schwere Krise.
In der sozialistischen Diktatur der DDR erklärt man den Nationalsozialismus für überwunden. Doch auch in der DDR gab es rechtsextreme Strukturen. Berichte der Staatssicherheit zeigen, wie neonazistische Skinhead-Kameradschaften aktiv waren und dokumentieren deren Straftaten.
Nach der Wiedervereinigung schließen sich die Neonazis aus Ost und West zusammen. Erstmals kommt es auf deutschem Boden wieder zu offenen rassistischen Ausschreitungen. Es entstehen Netzwerke, deren Gefahr von den Sicherheitsbehörden lange nicht ernst genommen wird – mit fatalen Folgen: Der Nationalsozialistische Untergrund, kurz NSU, verübt bundesweit Bombenanschläge und verantwortet mindestens zehn Morde.
Immer häufiger nutzen linke und rechte Extremisten für die Verbreitung ihrer Gewaltbotschaften das Internet. Durch die neuen Medien ist es einfach geworden, sich zu vernetzen. In den Echokammern des Internets wird der Mörder von Regierungspräsident Walter Lübcke zum gefeierten Star der Rechtsextremen. Auch als in Halle und Hanau Menschen durch Rechtsextreme Angriffe sterben, radikalisierten sich die Täter über einschlägige Internetportale.

Iranians Describe Fear and Sadness over Trump Evacuation Warning
BBC: Many Iranians have reacted with fear and dismay at Donald Trump's instruction to "immediately evacuate Tehran".
The capital's almost 10 million residents have now been left to decide whether to shelter in their homes - bracing themselves for what could come next - or attempt to join the heavy traffic leaving the country's capital.
President Trump made his comments just moments before cutting short his trip to the G7 in Canada, leaving many wondering if this could mean a further escalation in the conflict between Israel and Iran was imminent.
Many of those deciding to leave Tehran are posting images of their homes online, a poignant trend in Persian-language social media for those leaving their city behind. » | Azadeh Moshiri and Taraneh Fathalian | BBC Pakistan correspondent and BBC Persian | Tuesday, June 17, 2025

MPs Vote to Decriminalise Abortion for Women in England and Wales
BBC: MPs have voted to change abortion legislation to stop women in England and Wales being prosecuted for ending their pregnancy.
The landslide vote to decriminalise the procedure is the biggest change to abortion laws in England and Wales for nearly 60 years.
Women who terminate their pregnancy outside the rules, for example after 24 weeks, will no longer be at risk of being investigated by police.
The law will still penalise anyone who assists a woman, including medical professionals, in getting an abortion outside the current legal framework.
Labour MP Tonia Antoniazzi put forward the amendment to the Crime and Policing Bill, which was passed by a majority of 242 votes.
As an issue of conscience, MPs were allowed to vote according to their personal beliefs. » | Jennifer McKiernan | Political reporter | Tuesday, June 17, 2025

Viking Age Burial Site Full of Ancient Objects Found in Denmark, Say Experts
THE GUARDIAN: ‘Spectacular’ discovery at site of about 30 graves includes pearls, coins, ceramics and a box containing gold thread
A 10th-century burial site believed to have belonged to a Viking noble family has been discovered in northern Denmark, packed with a “spectacular” trove of ancient objects, a museum has said.
The discovery came almost by chance when pearls, coins, ceramics and a box containing a gold thread were unearthed during construction work near Lisbjerg, a village located 4 miles (7km) north of Aarhus, Denmark’s second-largest city.
Archaeologists found that the site also contained around 30 graves dating from the second half of the 10th century, when the famous King Harald Bluetooth reigned, said the Moesgaard Museum in Aarhus. » | Agence France-Presse in Aarhus | Tuesday, June 17, 2025

A Patriotic American Speaks His Mind - PARADE OF SHAME
Jun 14, 2025 | When Dwight Eisenhower was asked if the United States should have a military parade, he responded this way: "Absolutely not. we are the pre-eminent power on Earth. For us to try and imitate what the Soviets are doing in Red Square would make us look weak.” Our power doesn’t lie in our ability to destroy anyone or anything.
Our power lies in our ability to help people live better lives. And that’s why what’s happening these days is so deeply disempowering. We’re seeing a perversion of the values that indeed did make America great.
Ah, what we could have done over the last fifty years to expand people’s opportunities, while instead we worked so steadily to diminish them. Deflecting attention onto a military parade that will cost taxpayers $25M to $45 is obscene, when the government literally took food from the mouths of hungry children because they say we waste too much money. This parade will not be a celebration of our military; it will be a celebration of our war machine. The arms manufacturers. What in DC is called “The Blob.” Those children, and our veterans, be damned.
Does it have to be this way? No. And on the other side of this twisted era, I pray that it will not be.

The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age: Trump’s MAGA Mindset: The US’s Biggest Export
Jun 4, 2025 | Most of us have, for so long, lived under the shadow of American exports, that we’d be hard-pressed to choose which was the most influential. Hollywood rom-coms? Coupons? Halloween?
That list might have been relevant a couple of weeks ago. Now America’s biggest export is Donald Trump’s MAGA mindset, according to international and political editor, Peter Hartcher.
Today, he joins me to discuss Trump’s hidden announcement last week about a new level of imminent American interference, globally; one not seen since the end of the Cold War. And how it will change other countries for years to come.
Europe should be standing up to Trump and Putin – instead it is mirroring them: Public opinion is clamouring for closer EU cooperation. The last thing we need is Ursula von der Leyen pandering to the far right Donald Trump’s “America First” policies are undermining decades of transatlantic cooperation just as Putin’s Russia destabilises Europe with direct military aggression. But these twin shocks have unintentionally accomplished something the EU institutions never could. They have made European integration feel not just important, but existential – a matter of democratic survival – for ordinary citizens. »
