germany is acknowledging the unspeakable a pattern of criminality is shattering taboos we have to talk about the rise in crime by foreigners. an internal analysis leaked to the welt newspaper showed that knife crimes in northern rhine-westphalia shot up 45 per cent over a recent 12-month interval. other statistics from that state: in 2023, 80.1 per cent of pickpockets were foreigners, as were 47.6 per cent of shoplifters, 47.3 per cent of burglars, 41.6 per cent of homicide suspects, and 37.1 per cent of suspects in violent sex crimes. the germany-wide statistics on sexual violence were also sobering. in 2023, there were 761 gang-rapes registered in germany  almost two per day; 47.5 per cent of the suspects were foreigners. the frequency of such crimes  which were rare in germany as late as the 1990s  has hovered between 600 and 800 per year for the past 7 years. bluntly stated, our numbers show that violence in berlin is young, male, and has a non-german background. most of these men have no german skills, little education (a 2016 study revealed only 34 per cent could read the latin alphabet), no experience with alcohol, and no experience interacting with women not related to them. they can, however, travel freely, and watch pornography on their phones. they soon discover they can buy a bottle of grain liquor (korn) from any corner shop for 5. with 400 in cash benefits each month, they can afford to indulge. you didnt have to be an islamophobe or xenophobe to see trouble on the horizon. in the late 2010s, the mainstream german media and political landscape united as one to endorse chancellor angela merkels oath that we can handle the huge migrant influx (wir schaffen das). a 2017 survey by chatham house, for instance, found 53 per cent of germans wanted to stop all immigration from muslim countries.   acknowledging-the-unspeakable/
