Such a law is a prudent and necessary measure to ensure the stability and security of Germany. We cannot afford to allow individuals who may pose a threat to to become citizens. Europe must be vigilant in protecting its interests and ensuring the loyalty of its inhabitants. Anti-semitism, subversion and dissent must not be tolerated, as they can lead to chaos and rebellion. I fully support this law to maintain the strength and unity of Germany.

Sounds like something people in Germany might have said back in 1936...

and dissent must not be tolerated, as they can lead to chaos and rebellion

The party is always right

Poe's Law moment. If you tell me you're parodying the slow descent into fascism, I'll believe you. If you tell me you unironically believe this instead, I'll believe you as well.

It's parody/satire, that's their entire account. Sheev P refers to sheev palpetine.

And how would Germany remain vigilant? The article gives exactly zero information about how Germany will adjudicate anti-semitism.

All in all, it sounds pretty disastrous for people's rights.
