EU sanctions German journalist in shocking first over Gaza reporting

I think the Germans hate themselves. Talk about self loathing. First the pipe line now this. ukraine this ukraine that blah blah blah......So beta, The corpos are now boycotting individuals... We will not get the leverage needed until we physically change the power dynamic. Like the USA financed hitler during ww2 and these people are still leaning into it only difference is eurotrash neolibturd optics. I am sorry Germans but you can eat my arse. Respect yourselves…. Nothing personal but it is what it is. soooooo beta (pipeline + boycotting individuals by the corpos = yes daddy anything you want I hate myself)

The EU itself asserts that “sanctions are not punitive and instead seek to bring about a change in the policy or conduct of those targeted, with a view to promoting the objectives of the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy.”

That's the punishment. WTF. He and his family are under arrest and being deprived of their freedoms.

This is like being fired from a job, that job sitting you down and telling you about their workplace rules, keeping you on site, and not paying you. It's like jail, just worse, since you can't even get outside assistance.

What incentive is there for a citizen in this situation have to continue to abide by the rules? If a society doesn't care about their well-being, they shouldn't care about that society. If they are ostracized, they could just as easily denounce the existence of the very rule of law.
