The Spin
Left narrative
Domestic violence against women is epidemic across Germany and Europe. Women are murdered by their partners at alarming rates while governments fail to fund adequate shelters or support services. Politicians deflect blame onto immigrants instead of addressing the real crisis: systemic male violence encouraged by a new digital Manosphere that transcends all communities and backgrounds.
Right narrative
Domestic violence against women has exploded across Germany as mass migration imports criminals that view women as property. Politicians refuse to address such a reality, calling those with the courage to raise these issues "racist" while German women and girls pay with their lives. Open-door policies have failed catastrophically, creating parallel societies where violent attitudes toward women flourish unchecked.
