Germany is not and was never a progressive country.

From rebranding criminals to "crazy people" to violate their human rights in horrifying ways to politicians being treated as if they're rational, despite them being more than happy to jump onto "won't anyone please of the children?" ideas, even if clearly harmful to censorship regimes where 99% of the content removed is lawful to a weird bureaucrat deciding he hated porn and decided to censor that for a couple of years.
