Merkel backs faster deportation for migrants who commit crimes in Germany

People WILL put up with a lot, when they also have a lot to lose. The average citizen has a job, a family, a life and things they hold dear. Threatening them with losing these things, turning into an outcast and such has been one of the staples of keeping people in line and obedient.

The problem here is, people are increasingly losing these things anyway, wages compared inflation haven't risen particularly well the average person is getting more and more poor. Jobs are constantly threatened and at risk, turning people panicked. They also see their living standards deteriorate more and more. All of this adds up to a very volatile situation, we've seen these kinds of developements in the past and they almost always ended up ugly, very ugly unless something was done about it.

But what we now see is driving things slowly but surely over the boiling points. People see others evicted and put onto the street, they have to fear the government seizing their belongings and possesions or simply being unable to even afford them anymore. They also see that the police whom is supposed to protect them, that is constantly held up as argument why they can't defend themselves nor are allowed to isn't just not doing it's duty and letting those who would harm them and their family run wild, covering in fear before these people, they also notice that the police instead comes cracking down on them on a regular basis.

The police couldn't muster enough people to put a hold to something that can be described as a marauding army which according to leaked police informations at a time was nearly 2000 people strong, an army which set out to declare themselves conquerors and put the people in their place, humiliating, mocking them and openly attack "their" women with no repercursions whatsoever.

Which leads us to the last point, people are beginning to feel unsafe and restless. They find the things they hold the most dear at risk with nobody willing to even ADDRESS it, much less do anything about it. This reflects in spiking interests in guns, the same as could be seen in Austria where an outright run for them happened, talks about forming militias etc, people are beginning to take sides.

The press itself isn't particularly effective anymore, I posted a video earlier where journalists were whining big salty crocodile tears about being seen as "lying press", on which she was called out by an ex minister immediatly who said it's actually true. People either think anything the journalists report is downplayed or outright reject it, with trust in media being at an historical low.

In this situation, we would need to see politicians stepping up, taking charge. Actually addressing concerns, starting to crack down on a lot of these problems. Sweeping changes to be made, the police to be brought in line and turned from some politicized puppet into an actual security organ. Things to show people their concerns aren't going unnoticed, that politicians will actually start doing things and follow the oaths they took.

Instead we're seeing politicians bickering amonst one another, trying to find scapegoats ranging from fellow politicians, to the press, to the police (with the latter two doing the same, no honor amongst thieves afterall), aswell as crack down harder on their own populace, comparing people who even dare discuss these things to the ones who carried out these attacks and spout the usual hollow phrases. All this does is spread more insecurity, fear and cause anger and hatred to flourish.

Worse it also signals the people who have been carrying out these attacks, who are challenging the system, local authorities and populace that they're in fact making headway, that they wont see any organized resistance, causing them to either carry on or step up their behaviour leading to the situation getting even worse in turn.

This is all around an absolute debacle and the inactivity of those in charge aswell as them being more busy with covering their own rear than to try and get a hold on the situation and find solutions at the current pace will lead to complete and utter disaster.
