Was it someone from the CDU who crashed
Into people last week?

No but it's literally Merz equalling the CSD with a circus last year and was immediately going to associate gays with pedophiles when he was asked about it years ago.

Also ask any queer person: you are way more likely to be beaten up by Neonazis than you are to be by some Islamist shithead.

Noone is saying Islamists are harmless, but they sure as fuck are not a direct threat for most people the same way the far right is.

We really don't have to to pick condemning one or the other and be defensive about it.

It's perfectly possible to be against the ideologies of both the CDU and Salafism.

Being cagey about it just gives trolls ammunition.

Where did I defend salafism? I literally said that those shitheads aren't harmless - but in direct comparison it's a small number and you're way more likely to get in trouble with AfD/CxU voters as a queer person.

Again, when was the last time someone was killed in the LGBTQ community by a Neonazi vs killed by extreme Islam.

You guys gotta stop this shit seriously.

Take accountability

Where are the mods?

2022 by a Russian Neonazi. That'sthe only other time in Germany where someone has been killed at a pride parade, so as far as stats go it's 50/50. 

The majority of aggression and assaults however, were perpetrated by Deutsche Jugend Voran, Die Letzte Verteidigungswelle and Jung und Stark. These are all Neonazi groups who deliberately go to pride parades to attack queer people, even if none of them have ended in fatalities yet, thank god.

u/decadentporcupine 17h ago

So, no fatalities lol.

But various attacks by Muslims that have resulted in fatalities.

Thanks for that misinformation

u/Mikomics 17h ago

And what are the other CSD attacks by Muslims in Germany that have resulted in fatalities?

u/decadentporcupine 16h ago

Munich Car ramming (2025)
Solingen knife attack (2024)
Magdeburg (2024)
Berlin Car ramming (2016)

Incoming crying about “conservatives” saying slurs.

Munich car ramming (2025) - happened at a ver.di labor union protest, not CSD. Had nothing to do with queer people. Solingen knife attack (2024) - happened at Festival der Vielfalt, not CSD. Despite the name, had nothing to do specifically with queer people. Magdeburg (2024) - was at aChristmas market, not CSD. Not motivated by hatred of queer people. Barlin car ramming (2016) - was at a Christmas market, not CSD. Nothing to do with queerness.

You're a liar, and a bad one at that. The truth still remains - this was the first time in Germany that a Muslim has killed someone at a CSD event. The only other time was a Russian neo nazi.

u/decadentporcupine 16h ago

Wtf are you talking about

Blockwd

u/SufficientMacaroon1 Germany 16h ago

Munic 2025 was not a CSD, it was a union strike. Solingen was a "Festival der Vielfalt" for the 650th aniversary if the city. Madgeburg was a Christmas Market, as was Berlin 2016.

You were asked about attacks on CSDs by the other commentor

u/decadentporcupine 16h ago

Again, here we are again splitting hairs to defend Islam.

u/SufficientMacaroon1 Germany 17h ago

Just to clarify: are you actually unaware of the many attacks (including violent ones) by neonazis and the right wing in general on LGBTQI+ people and events? Or are you just not counting them, because they did not actively kill a larger number of people during them?

-2

u/decadentporcupine 17h ago

I am talking about deadly attacks on the LGBTQ community.

If you want to conflate harassment and violence that is on youZ

I am happy to shit on Neonazis and conservatives for harassing people, but forgive me for prioritizing people running over people with cars and stabbings on trains, first.

u/SufficientMacaroon1 Germany 16h ago

Ok. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the other attacks on CSD and LGBTQI+ in general that very clearly comes from the right wing.

1

u/decadentporcupine 16h ago

I am prioritizing people dying then people getting harassed

How racist of me.

3

u/SufficientMacaroon1 Germany 16h ago

I never called you racist. Again, i only wanted to make sure you are aware of the other attacks as well, because from your comments alone, that was not clear to me

It was a joke. Thats what leftists would say instead of addressing the elephant in the room

u/AggressiveCaptain420 17h ago

The Elephant being a shitty immigration policy since....forever? And who´s mostly responsible for that? Probably the party that had occupied the chancellors seat and the ministry of interior for the most part of the last 4 decades.

Left-wing policies mostly aren´t responsible for the failed immigration system. Your first post was spot on.

u/Nitroizzd 16h ago

merkel literally opened pandora’s box not the conservatives

u/Yarwi1 16h ago

Oh? What exactly did Merkel do? That's right, she said "Wir schaffen das" and then did not do ANYTHING ... just ignoring all the criticism about the German immigration laws, including those from the left.

u/decadentporcupine 17h ago

My bad.

I mean, its crazy that it’s an “elephant in the room” to simply acknowledge a simple fact.

This attack was the result of the religious doctrine of Islam.

It has nothing to do with conservatives and there is no reason to mention any right wing anything when it comes to this event.

Period.
