was dug up during an illegal private metal detector search

People just still do it, but don’t report anything. I don’t think the average illegal „hunter" is interested in finding a treasure and illegally selling it on black market, making his potential punishment even worse. In Germany it’s on the federal state to create the legal basis for a lot of things which you probably know, muelltonne, metal detecting is one of these. This makes the legal situation even more complicated with some states completely prohibiting and some allowing it if the land owner agrees. The Nederlands on the other hand have the same legal situation in the whole country, as far as I know, where searching for archaeological objects is legal with very few bureaucratic restrictions and a nation-wide app for registrating seekers and uploading their findings to the authorities. They’re happy with that.

The destruction of public information -e.g. in libraries- is just despicable.

What is this metal-construction? For radio? It’s part of a military vehicle, isn’t it?

Shut up!

The contemporary witnesses are dying. I wouldn’t say it’s because of them not being able to tell their stories anymore, but a human life is enough time for a society to forget. And if I say society, I really mean the majority of people forget, nowadays just many have forgotten, too many, but not the majority. There always have been a few people who couldn’t forget because they never knew, never wanted to know, we call them neo-nazis. They are on the rise again, all the crises of the last years have helped them and still do so, but I don’t think people who haven’t forgotten would follow them.

Unhappiness and fear linked to fascism? Unbelievable! But yeah, I think that’s something you more or less directly learn as German if you look back on our democracy, the Weimarer Republik, before rise of national socialism. Many people didn’t believed in democracy at the first place, but the bad economic situation made it even worse. If you are unhappy or even fear about your future that’s a great attack point for right wing propaganda.

So technically 3 again?
