Asmongold on the Berlin Pride Attack and the Farce of State De-Radicalization
Our read
Berlin offered counseling to a parade attacker and called it de-radicalization. Asmongold is not buying the theater.
What happened
Asmongold reacts to the Berlin Pride vehicle-ramming attack, exposing the terminal absurdity of European de-radicalization programs. By examining how a watchlisted extremist struck on the exact day of his scheduled state counseling session, the discussion lays bare a civilizational pathology of suicidal empathy where progressive elites would rather face physical destruction than admit their open-borders dogmas have failed.
The brief
A counseling appointment cannot de-radicalize someone you already refused to remove from the street.
Key findings
European state-run de-radicalization programs treat violent jihadist ideology like a corporate HR issue, attempting to cure deep-seated religious fanaticism with scheduled counseling seminars.
German state crime statistics systematically misclassify Islamist violence under the default umbrella of right-wing crime, artificially inflating domestic far-right threats to shield failed migration policies from legislative accountability.
The progressive alliance with religious fundamentalists is a negative coalition of convenience, surviving only because the protective legal bubble of Western civilization prevents their fundamental theological incompatibilities from erupting into real-world violence.
The sides
- The Farce of State De-Radicalization 01:23
State-run de-radicalization programs are a bureaucratic illusion designed to manage, rather than solve, civilizational hostility.
Evidence: The 21-year-old Lebanese attacker in Berlin was active on watchlists and scheduled for a rehabilitation session on the exact day he drove a car into a crowd.
- The Extremist Backlash Guarantee 28:35
Continued failure by moderate governments to stop targeted terrorist violence will inevitably drive the public to elect radical, authoritarian leaders who promise security at any cost.
Evidence: Historically, civil breakdown and uncontrolled violence open the door for populist strongmen, which will be far more dangerous in the nuclear era.
- Statistical Manipulation of Terror Data 58:15
Germany's state apparatus actively hides Islamic terror by cataloging anti-LGBTQ or anti-minority religious violence under the catchall category of right-wing crime.
Evidence: Uwe Boll's testimony that German criminal statistics classify Islamist attacks as right-wing crimes, artificially inflating domestic far-right threats while erasing radical Islamist statistics.

“If there is a mouse or a rat in my house, and the rat says, 'Well, I was born in your house,' I don't give a fuck. It's my house, get the fuck out.”

“Any Islamic attack, terror attack, murder, gets in the criminal statistics in Germany voted like it was a right-wing attack.”

Why now
The modern progressive establishment has built an assembly line for its own demise, replacing hard border security and deportation with performative counseling seminars.
When Western nations treat committed jihadists like corporate employees undergoing sensitivity training, they invite both immediate domestic violence and the inevitable, reactionary rise of extreme far-right autocracy.
** Because the progressive managerial state has replaced physical deterrence with therapeutic compliance, it has created a system where violent predators are flown back into Western cities at taxpayer expense to be rehabilitated through toothless therapy courses.
Ultimately, this parasitic relationship only functions because the protective, legal bubble of Western civilization keeps both groups from clashing in the real world.
Once those civilizational safety rails are removed, the illusion of tolerance immediately dissolves, leaving the physically vulnerable entirely exposed to primal power dynamics.
Questions
Why was the Berlin Pride attacker not deported before the vehicle ramming?
European authorities chose therapeutic bureaucracy over physical deportation. The attacker was a known, watchlisted extremist who was kept in Germany under the delusion that state-sponsored counseling could cure religious fanaticism. He carried out his vehicle-ramming attack on the exact day he was scheduled for a government de-radicalization session.
How does Germany hide the rise of Islamist terror in its official crime data?
German state crime statistics systematically misclassify Islamist violence by dumping it into the default category of right-wing crime. This statistical manipulation artificially inflates domestic far-right threats. It serves as a bureaucratic shield to protect failed open-border migration policies from public scrutiny and legislative accountability.
Why do progressive groups support religious extremists who oppose their lifestyle?
This is a temporary coalition of convenience that only survives because the protective legal bubble of Western civilization keeps them from clashing. Progressive elites tolerate these fundamentalist groups to maintain their open-borders narrative, ignoring the reality that removing civilizational safety rails leaves vulnerable citizens exposed to physical violence.
What actually happened during the Berlin Pride vehicle attack?
A watchlisted extremist drove a vehicle into a crowd at a Berlin Pride event on the exact day he was scheduled for a state-run de-radicalization counseling session. The attacker was shot and killed by police at the scene. This incident exposed the fatal breakdown of European security, where known threats are kept on the streets under the assumption that bureaucratic therapy sessions can neutralize violent religious fanaticism.
How do European de-radicalization programs actually operate in practice?
European de-radicalization programs function like corporate HR departments, relying on voluntary counseling, social work, and sensitivity seminars to reform committed jihadists. These state-funded initiatives treat deep-seated theological hostility as a mere mental health or integration issue. By replacing physical detention and deportation with scheduled talk therapy, governments allow high-risk individuals to remain free in public spaces.
Who benefits from keeping failed de-radicalization programs alive?
The primary beneficiaries are the progressive NGO industrial complex and the state bureaucrats who receive massive taxpayer funding to administer these rehabilitation services. Admitting that de-radicalization is a failure would force European governments to implement hard border controls and mass deportations. This policy shift would destroy the open-borders narrative that legacy political parties have spent decades building.
What is the strongest counter-argument in favor of state rehabilitation over deportation?
Proponents of state rehabilitation argue that deportation is legally difficult due to international human rights treaties, especially if the home country faces conflict. They claim that monitoring and counseling individuals within the country is safer than sending them abroad where they might join larger terror networks. However, this approach prioritizes the legal comfort of foreign extremists over the physical safety of domestic citizens.
What happens next if European nations refuse to abandon therapeutic security policies?
The continued failure of therapeutic security will accelerate the rise of hard-right populist governments across Europe. As citizens realize their governments cannot protect them from preventable attacks, they will bypass moderate options and vote for parties promising militarized borders and mass deportations. The refusal of centrist elites to enforce basic security guarantees makes a chaotic, reactionary political backlash inevitable.
