Bavaria: Law for mandatory cruccifix in public bureaus today in force
| >>302909
...which is probably the best known region of the USA to foreigners but also with the highest rate of retarded conservative douchebags either ruling by economic power or get fooled by religious lies.
| There's more. Any other symbol from any other religion are not allowed because those bureaus also werde supposed to appear neutral/objective. No contradiction at all.
Dog gamnit.
| From what I've read the leaders used a cultural rather than religious argument though. And that is important. They're going with similar arguments to religion like France or Denmark. This is going beyond Christianity in itself. It's more of a message that "German" culture revolves around Christian symbolics without Germans having to believe in any religion for that matter.
| Then they should bring back Wotan, Donar, and their buddies. There's also a place called Wallhalla in germany, immortalising great thinkers and poets. And the exterior of that thing looks pretty greek actually. Oh, and let's not forget Siegfried the dragonslayer and Hagen, the Nibelungenlied in general. Very christian indeed. Let's face it: the Motivation behind this law is Religion and not culture. Otherwise it wouldn't even exist. It's needless and useless.
| >>302994 Strasserism Light
+With the new police law they have it becomes more and more like Strasserism.
They are now allowed to imprison people without a judge for 2 years and can renew the sentence after that indefinitely. So they can basically imprison you forever if they don't like you, and you have no legal grounds to fight against it.
And nobody cares because Bavaria is rich af.

True that.
But certain conservative forces try to push the religion as being their culture. And then they can claim that Syrian war refugees can't ever immigrate because of different cultural values.
And then they can try to push all Muslims out of Bavaria.
And then it won't work, it didn't even work with the Jews after WWI (and the NSDAP tried).
And then more far right forces will use the sentiment to do a final solution for the Muslim question.

That's pretty ignorant on history, as german culture has much pagean, jewish and even as slightly muslim heritage. Also there is no centralized german culture. The most time germans were diffrent independend tribes and later regions that still differ in way of live, language and other cultural aspects. German who live in the mountains have not much in common with those who live at the coast.
And the cities are pretty international/multicultural - which is a great thing!

Seems like History is repeating itself, to this point at time at least.

This crucifix law would never be accepted outside Bavaria, which has much artificial culture ignorant to the past.
| >>303038 I'm not arguing for or against the decision. Just wanted to say what the logic they used is. I'm also mentioning this to say that this law is only right wing to certain people (as all politics are very relative). To some more hardcore conservatives this is still a very left wing weaning idea and the natural conservative action would be to accept exactly those pagan ways instead.
I think the reality here is more of populism invading people once more.
| wtf Bavaria is crazy. Germany should stay secular
| Christians being assholes? Wow what a shock.
| Sorry I didn't put a disclaimer.

| Bavaria is probably the best known region of Germany to foreigners, especially US-americans. But to most germans it is also the most controversial part of the republic. On the one side there is strong industry and much wealth, on the other side there are many retarded people living at the countryside supporting the right-winged government for totally pointless actions like the law given in the title of this thread. Except for the strong industry and wealth it's a bit like Texas...
