Arthur T Knackerbracket has found the following story:
Twitter announced today that it removed a new batch of state-backed accounts from its platform. During this latest round of purges, the social network removed accounts operated from the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Ecuador, and China.
These new removals come as Twitter also took down state-backed accounts part of extensive information operations back in January (Bangladesh, Iran, Russia, Venezuela), June (Iran, Spain, Venezuela), and August (China).
Just like it did before, Twitter has made the information about these accounts and their tweets public and downloadable for research and academic purposes.
The breakdown by country is:
United Arab Emirates & Egypt - 267 accounts
United Arab Emirates - 4,258 accounts
Saudi Arabia - 6 accounts
Spain - 259 accounts
Ecuador - 1,019 accounts
China - 4,302 accounts

We'll not look at and compare history of the country then, since Germany's tumultuous past is quite well documented. I can't say I have a lot of personal experience with Germany, other than the quick layover on the way to another country.
If you're looking for demilitarized police, you'd do better than to look at Germany's police force, though. The officers at the airport carried what looked to be fully automatic sub-machine guns. They also, definitely have their own problems with white supremacy. How many people of color do you typically see in an average day? Strictly out of curiosity.
From the demographics that I've been able to dig up, it's somewhere between 80% to 90% white, german. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/largest-ethnic-groups-in-germany.html [worldatlas.com] With 1% African German, which I'm assuming would correlate with African American in the USA.
So, you're pasty white, male, can speak German, and decided to move to Germany. I'm quite glad you were able to find a place that offers you a good salary, etc. Condemning the USA over Germany, yeah, I'm not convinced that you didn't just change devils.
