That's the charitable interpretation. The less charitable one is astroturfing aiming to further destabilize "the west"

Is NATO pretending to be neutral?

That was a bad attempt, try harder.

Und deine Lösung gegen Mangel an Arbeitskräften ist es, verbesserte Arbeitsbedingungen zu verhindern und den Beruf noch weniger attraktiv zu machen?

Who is blocking support for Ukraine?

That can go both ways through. To some people, criticizing Hamas or saying that their attack warranted a reaction (which doesn't mean I'm condoning what's happening now in any way) means you're actively calling for genocide.

Nuance is hard, people tend to prefer simple categorization into black and white, good and evil. The statement "Germany is going full fascist" is a perfect example of this.

Agreed, what Russia is doing in Ukraine is horrible.

Does knowingly causing an ecological catastrophe qualify as an act of war? To me, that seems worse than blockading these specific ships.

Let me prefix this with saying that I'm sympathetic towards Varoufakis. I've been following him somewhat since his time at Valve.

He claims he is now subject to a "Betätigungsverbot" which is very different from being "banned from the country". I tried to find any sort of official confirmation that he actually has "Betätigungsverbot" but I couldn't, feel free to post a link if you can find it. I personally believe that what he wrote in this post doesn't even come close to warranting a Betätigungsverbot - however, even assuming the Verbot is actually in place, claiming this means "Germany is going full fascism" is dishonest, exaggerated, and void of any nuance, which is my original point.

Reading the first sentence of the definition of fascism on Wikipedia should show you how ridiculous that statement is. Words have a meaning, and throwing around the word "fascism" for any measure you (potentially rightfully) don't agree with just hurts your credibility and devalues the meaning of the word when it's actually appropriate.

I'm fine with you attributing actions like this to historically motivated, misguided sense of "loyalty" (or however you want to call it) to Israel, or the Israeli government. Just keep the word fascist for actual fascists please.

Nuance exists, the world isn't just black and white.

You do realize this is a list, that the list has other items, and that this isn't the first or last package Germany sent?

That's exactly what they're saying, while ironically calling reasonable people gullible and considering themself enlightened.

They liberated it from fascism, and now they're fighting imperialist wars to bring it back!

Quite ironic, if you ask me.
