Gestapo/Stasi vibes all over.

During Gestapo and Stasi times most informants did their best to remain anonymous because no one likes snitches. Openly following someone and bragging about it is sociopathic even by nazi and Stalinist standards.

Oh, they just didn’t realize that they are easy targets themselves. Early days are always like this.

Nah, AmeriKKKa vibes.

You mean KKK, Confederacy, White Supremacist, Slaver, Jan 6th Protester etc... The threat isn't foreign to America, and its been here in America since before Nazis existed.

Stasi did not execute people in broad daylight. Comparing the Stasi (intelligence services of Socialist Germany) to the Gestapo (agency instrumental to millions of exterminations in genocide) is insulting.

Nobody cares if Stasi are whingy about imperfect allusions. 🖕🏽 Both groups deserve lead sentences, full stop.
