Geraldine Rauch, president of the Berlin technical university, is asked to resign but refuses and will now probably removed. she liked a post on X where Benjamin Netanyahu was depicted with a swastika.

she claims she had not seen the swastika and that she works hard for dialogue with both Jews and Palestinians.

imagine your entire life destroyed because of one single like.

In Russia this is happening all the time, except it's usually not officials of some sort, but mere mortals. On one occasion a woman, she was a medical nurse I think, was persecuted to having a meme in her non-public album on VKontakte 🤪

This happening in modern-day Berlin is somewhat new though.

Funny thing is this was when it was milder than it is now — they at least needed swastika or something, even if image was portraying Nazism in negative light. Loosely worded laws enable that.
But now they don't even have to go such lengths, there are plenty of new laws that cover literally everything: don't like the man who returned from the war attacking a teenage girl — your discrediting the army and that's against the law 🤦

@bartholin @kaia
Luckily they don't seem to care about Fedi yet — and yet I'm usually scared shitless when someone speaking Russian requests a follow 😱
Technically some bored cop could find something in the depths on my extensive post history — if he's looking for bonus and desperate enough.
