I’ll take a moment to plug Bruni de la Motte’s book Stasi State or Socialist Paradise? about the former GDR (East Germany), and often includes comparisons to the FRG (West Germany) at the time. The one that always sticks out to me is that at a time when women in the GDR could divorce their husbands on their own initiative, women in rhe FRG needed their husband’s permission to work outside the home.
de la Motte also lived in the GDR for a long time, so she had firsthand experience she is writing about. It’s a great read.
Proof that Germany “united” in the wrong way vol. 69420.
Willy Brandt: Alright everyone, we need to show the western powers our commitment to their way of life. Any ideas?
Helmut Kentler:
Did you know Denmark was the main producer of CSAM for about half a decade?
Nope. Why was it like that?
Legalised porn in 1969, all of it. I was actually off by a decade, distribution of child porn was legal in (and from) Denmark from '69 to '84
Holy fucking shit. What the actual fuck. This is crazy! What a disgrace! It’s horrific to think about the poor children, now adults, who went through that.
“Kentler was homosexual, single and had three adoptive sons and several foster children. One former associate of Kentler later stated that two of the foster children had come to her for therapy as Kentler had sexually abused them.”
You mean to tell me that the guy who said pedophiles should be given children to molest was also molesting children? What a turn of events.
I just read the link; there’s no height high enough for that wall
