I agree, it’s bizarre the German government wants to enshrine the right to encryption in law, but is mulling whether to violate individual sovereignty and control over one’s body by imposing mandatory vaccinations.

I agree that a lot of theses restrictions are serous restrictions to civil liberties, but they are not fascistic in nature and our attitude towards the government is quite different than the attitude of ppl from the USA towards their government. I see the power of social media platforms and political radicalization as greater problems than pressure or even mandates for vaccines. What bugs be though is that when people voiced concerns about "indirect vaccine mandates"(=pressuring people to get vaccinated by excluding them from social gatherings, etc) the political mainstream claimed that that won't happen and that that are just right-wing conspiracy theories. I think these kinds of lies smell far more like fascism than vaccine mandates themselves

How are vaccine mandates and restrictions of people based on their medical status and beliefs not fascist / authoritarian?

The parallels between apartheid, East German “where are your papers?”, and the enforced wearing of the Star of David are very disturbing.
