1) Joined the US army in 1984, didn't tell anyone until I was asking for a ride to the place where I left for basic that day

2) I was identified by the Polizei as the US connection to the #RedArmyFaction (they were wrong)

3) Ridden across the US on a motorcycle a few times

4) Gave myself ~60 branding strikes because I didn't trust myself to just get a damn tattoo

5) Made the surgeon who removed my saddle PE listen to #KlausNomi during the whole procedure

I'm watching the 2020 German docuseries, A PERFECT CRIME (German: Rohwedder: Einigkeit und Mord und Freiheit) for the second time. It's so good and so fascinating.

One thing I love about it is the unpacking of the history of that time and place. History and politics are so much more complex than what we are officially told.

I'm also curious about the RAF and sentiments about German unification.

This is a fascinating in-depth news story from 1977 about #WestGermany dealing with dissent & #violence aimed at the #state apparatus. Many questions are asked that are with us today, such as what are the limits of the state, the limits of #HumanRights, and what is the #CostOfPeace if that peace requires draconian measures, and, of course, what is the state to do with domestic #terrorists in a highly charged #political situation.
