When did we get so squeamish? - Always refreshing when reading something like this in a news magazine where you would expect it last.

The short memory seems the sign of our time. It may not be present to many, but it's only been 14 months since a violent mob moved through the Hanseatic city of Hamburg to destroy everything that somehow looked like capitalism. Does anyone remember the G-20 protests? Or, among the older ones, to the elevators in Hamburg's Hafenstraße? An Brokdorf, the runway west, the annual removals in Kreuzberg? Even then, the Bengali fire was burning. Even then, the police were so surprised by the overwhelming power of the demonstrators that it looked like the road was now ruling. Is that why the rule of law has gone to its knees? Is not he.
If you absolutely want to search for historical parallels to today, then the 1970s are much closer than the thirties. The people faced each other irreconcilably. There was so much hate and violence that the government was forced to give security agencies more and more powers. Rasterfahndung, Radikalenerlass: all results of the seventies.
