Pull-Effekt: Sachsen bietet Exklusivausbildung für faschistische Jurist*innen
Wer gegen die allgemeinen Menschenrechte ankämpft, sollte im Gerichtssaal nur auf der Anklagebank etwas zu sagen haben – so zumindest die Theorie in Deutschland seit den Nürnberger Prozessen. Anders sieht man das in Sachsen. Hier werden Faschist*innen auch nach höchstrichterlichen Urteilen noch Rosen auf den Weg gestreut.
Doch der Reihe nach: Im Oktober 2022 entschied der Sächsische Verfassungsgerichtshof (SächsVerfGH) in einem umstrittenen Urteil, dass Sachsen dem Dritten Weg-Kader Matthias Bauerfeind, sein Rechtsreferendariat ermöglichen müsse. In Bayern und Thüringen war der langjährige Neonazi mit seinen Klagen – wie in vergleichbaren Fällen aller Bundesländer seit einem Leiturteil von 1975 üblich – gescheitert. Bauerfeind zog im bayerischen Fall sogar vor das zuständige Bundesgericht und verlor – allerdings zu spät, denn da war der Neonazi, dank der eigensinnigen Auslegung des höchsten sächsischen Gerichts, bereits fertig ausgebildeter Volljurist. Tür und Tor stehen neonazistischen Jurist*innen seitdem in Sachsen offen.
Matthias Bauerfeind
Der 1984 geborene Matthias Bauerfeind war von 2005 bis 2012 Funktionär der NPD und ab 2009 Kern einer Kameradschaft im „Freies Netz Süd“. Von 2005 bis 2013 wurde er fünf Mal verurteilt, u.a. wegen Widerstands gegen Vollstreckungsbeamte und Verwendens von Kennzeichen verfassungswidriger Organisationen. Nach dem Verbot des „Freien Netz“ im Jahr 2014, baute er als „stellvertretender Gebietsleiter Süd“ den Dritten Weg in Bayern mit auf. Dokumentiert sind beispielsweise seine Auftritte 2016 in Nürnberg, 2017 in Fulda und 2019 in Kempten. Bemerkenswert, aber wenig überraschend: Zuletzt fiel der auf Strafrecht spezialisierte Bauerfeind damit auf, dass er von mehreren baden-württembergischen AfD-Kreistagsfraktionen das anwaltliche Mandat in Verwaltungssachen erhielt.
Wir wollen euch hier den jüngsten Fall des sächsischen Sonderwegs vorstellen:
Im Mai 2025 wurde der Faschist John Hoewer aufgrund seiner Tätigkeit und Publikationen bei der Jungen Alternativen, dem extrem rechten Verein Ein Prozent, und dem offen faschistischen Jungeuropa Verlag als Rechtsreferendar in Rheinland-Pfalz abgelehnt. In seiner Begründung schrieb das Gericht in Koblenz, dass es in einer „wehrhaften“ Demokratie „(…) dem Staat [nicht] zuzumuten [sei], verfassungsuntreue Bewerber in den Vorbereitungsdienst aufnehmen zu müssen.“
Doch dann bewarb sich Hoewer in Sachsen.
Nachdem das Oberlandesgericht (OLG) Hoewer zwei mal aus Zweifel an seiner Verfassungstreue ablehnte, entschied das Oberverwaltungsgericht (OVG) Bautzen im November 2025, dass Hoewer unverzüglich seine juristische Ausbildung beim Oberlandesgericht (OLG) Dresden aufnehmen dürfe. Das OVG Bautzen sah sich dabei an das kritisierte Sonderurteil des SächsVerfGH gebunden. Es bekräftigte seine Zweifel an der Richtigkeit dieses Urteils sogar nachdrücklich. Trotzdem verzichtete es auf eine Weiterleitung des Falls an das zuständige Bundesgericht (BVerfG), welches 2024 im Fall Bauerfeind doch eindeutig im Widerspruch zum SächsVerfGH entschieden hatte. Eine verpasste Gelegenheit. Und so bleibt das Motto der sächsischen Rechtspraxis vorerst: Nur weil man Faschisten ablehnen kann, heißt das noch lange nicht, dass man sie auch ablehnen muss. Denn in Sachsen reicht es seit 2022 nicht aus, nachweislich einer menschenverachtenden Ideologie anzuhängen. Man muss sich schon strafbar machen im Kampf gegen die freiheitlich demokratische Grundordnung.
John Hoewer
Der neu-rechte Kader John Hoewer, Jahrgang 1987, ist im April 2025 von seinem stellvertretenden Vorstandsposten bei Ein Prozent zurückgetreten. Zwei Monate nachdem er sich erstmals in Sachsen beworben hatte. Dabei ist ihm ein aktives Eintreten gegen die „freiheitliche demokratische Grundordnung“, welches dem Bundesverfassungsgericht 2024 als Ablehnungsgrund für ein Rechtsreferendariat genügte, wahrlich nicht schwer nachzuweisen:
Schon im Januar 2017 soll Hoewer in handgreiflichen Auseinandersetzungen mit linken Demonstranten in einem Hörsaal der Universität Magdeburg verwickelt gewesen sein. Im April 2017 dann begleitete er den laut eigener Aussage den „Rechtsradikalen“ Philip Stein zu einer Veranstaltung der italienischen Faschisten von Casa Pound in Rom. Ebenfalls 2017, im Juli, besuchte John Hoewer gemeinsam mit weiteren AfDlern, JNlern und anderen Neonazis das „Deutschland-Seminar“ der extrem rechten Braunschweiger Burschenschaft Thuringia. Im Jahr 2021 nahm John Hoewer nachweislich an Kampfsportrainings mit anderen Neonazis der Jungen Alternative, der AfD und der NPD (heute Die Heimat) in Berlin Weißensee teil. Im Jahr 2022 war Hoewer dann Beisitzer im Verbandsrat der extrem rechten Deutschen Burschenschaft (DB). Ja, Hoewer ist Burschenschaftler, und zwar bei Germania Köln, Raczeks Breslau zu Bonn, und dort fechtet er vor NS-“Kunst“ mit Hakenkreuz. Die Burschenschaft ist übrigens die, die 2011 einen Antrag bei der DB einbrachten, der als „Ariernachweis“ bekannt wurde. Geschenkt, dass Hoewer auch jahrelang zum Jungen Alternative Landesvorstand in Sachsen-Anhalt gehörte und mindestens von Januar 2018 bis März 2025 für den AfD-Fraktionsvize im Bundestag, Sebastian Münzenmaier (Mainzer Burschenschaft Germania Halle), als Mitarbeiter angestellt war.
Diese Gesetzeslage und Rechtssprechung, der sächsische Sonderweg, ist in Deutschland einmalig. Im Raum steht der Verdacht, dass die Entscheidung des Sächsischen Verfassungsgerichtshofes von 2022 dem geltenden Bundesrecht widerspricht. Dass es auch anders geht, zeigt das Nachbarland Thüringen. So wies das Thüringer Verfassungsgericht im November 2025 eine AfD-Klage ab und entschied, dass Personen nicht zum juristischen Vorbereitungsdienst zugelassen werden sollen, wenn sie gegen die freiheitlich-demokratische Grundordnung verstoßen.
Doch Bauerfeind und Hoewer sind nicht die einzigen, denen der sächsische Sonderweg zugutekam. Der Neonazi Brian Engelmann durfte bereits im November 2018 sein Rechtsreferendariat in Chemnitz antreten, obwohl man um sein Weltbild wusste – im selben Monat stand er für seine Beteiligung am Überfall auf den alternativen Leipziger Stadtteil Connewitz mit anderen Neonazis vor Gericht. Und selbst nachdem sein Urteil von einem Jahr und vier Monaten auf Bewährung im Jahr 2020 für rechtskräftig erklärt wurde, entschied das Oberlandesgericht Dresden (OLG), dass Engelmann seine juristische Ausbildung abschließen dürfe. Jetzt ist der Mann mit den Hakenkreuzen auf der rechten Schulter Volljurist und in der Rechtsanwaltskanzlei des Leipziger Szene-Anwalts Arndt Hohnstädter angestellt.
Brian Engelmann
Der 1992 in Freital geborene Brian Engelmann ist mehrfach vorbestrafter Gewalttäter und Kampfsportler. Schon 2012 griff Engelmann in eine Auseinandersetzung in einer Dresdner Diskothek ein. Dabei brach er dem Angreifer mehrere Gesichtsknochen und zerstörte ihm diverse Zähne, als er ihm gegen den Kopf trat. Im selben Jahr zog Engelmann für sein Jura-Studium nach Leipzig und fiel dort bald als Teil des “Bushido Sportcenter Leipzig” (ehemals “Bushido Free Fight Team”) von Marko Zschörner auf. In den folgenden Jahren trat Engelmann immer wieder als MMA-Kämpfer bei einschlägigen Veranstaltungen in Erscheinung. So gab es z.B. 2013 einen Kampf in Köthen gegen Kevin Kraft – ein weiterer Neonazi, dem zusammen er schließlich am 11.01.2016, im Nachgang des Angriffs auf Leipzig-Connewitz, von der Polizei festgesetzt wurde. Gemeinsam mit Mitgliedern der Neonazi-Struktur „HooNaRa“ („Hooligans, Nazis, Rassisten“), wie beispielsweise Martin Krause, arbeitete Engelmann jahrelang beim Leipziger Sicherheitsunternehmen “Black Rainbow Security”. Auch nach Abschluss seines zweiten Staatsexamens trat Engelmann weiterhin bei Neonazi-Milieu-Veranstaltungen, wie 2023 bei „Ostdeutschland kämpft“, auf.
Eine Gesetzesänderung, wie aktuell gefordert, oder eine juristische Entscheidung auf höchster Ebene lassen zwei Jahre nach dem SächsVerfGH-Urteil immer noch auf sich warten. Immerhin scheint nun endlich auch die Sächsische Landesregierung, in Person der Justizministerin Constanze Geiert (CDU), gemerkt zu haben, dass etwas faul ist im Freistaat Sachsen. So will man am Bundesverfassungsgericht mit einer abstrakten Normenkontrolle gegen die diesbezügliche Rechtsauslegung des eigenen, Sächsischen Verfassungsgerichts vorgehen. Bis dahin bleibt genau zu beobachten, wie sich der „Pull-Effekt“ auf faschistische Jurist*innen nach Sachsen weiterentwickelt.

Trump Gives Big Tech Friends an Early Christmas Gift With Order Against State AI Regulations
US President Donald Trump on Thursday signed an executive order aimed at preventing state-level regulation of the burgeoning artificial intelligence industry, a gift to tech corporations that bankrolled his inauguration and are currently funding his White House ballroom project.
Trump's order instructs the US Justice Department to establish an AI Litigation Task Force with a single mandate: sue states that enact AI laws that the administration deems "onerous and excessive." The order also threatens to withhold federal funding from states that implement AI regulations.
Public Citizen, a watchdog group that has tracked increasingly aggressive AI influence-peddling in Congress and the administration, said Trump's order "grants his greedy Big Tech buddies’ Christmas wish."
"This reward to Big Tech is a disgraceful invitation to reckless behavior by the world’s largest corporations and a complete override of the federalist principles that Trump and MAGA claim to venerate," said Robert Weissman, Public Citizen's co-president. "Everyone should understand why this is happening: During and since the last election cycle, Big Tech has spent at least $1.1 billion on campaign contributions and lobby expenditures. Big Tech corporations poured money into Trump’s inaugural committee and to pay for his garish White House ballroom. A major Big Tech and AI investor is serving as Trump’s 'AI czar' and driving administration policy."
"While Trump has ensured the federal government is doing almost nothing to address the harms that AI is already causing, states are moving forward with sensible AI regulation," Weissman added. "These include efforts to address political deepfakes, nonconsensual intimate deepfakes, algorithmic pricing manipulation, consumer protection measures, excessive data center electricity and water demand, and much more. Big Tech is whining about these modest measures, but there is zero evidence that these rules are impeding innovation; in fact, they are directing innovation in more positive directions."
Jenna Sherman, a campaign director focused on tech and gender at Ultraviolet Action, said Trump's order "only has one group of winners: his wealthy donors in the tech sector."
"Every other person loses from this wildly unpopular move. And not just in theory, as stripping away state AI regulations puts many—namely, women and children—at risk of real harm," said Sherman. "These harms of AI—which the Trump and the tech sector are clearly happy to ignore—are already here: non-consensual deepfake porn sexualizing women and girls, children being led to suicidal ideation by AI chatbots, and AI-powered scams and crimes targeting older Americans, especially women, to name but a few."
The US Chamber of Commerce and other corporate lobbying organizations representing tech giants such as Microsoft and Google celebrated the order, predictably characterizing it as a win for "small businesses."
The leaders of California and other states that have proposed and finalized AI regulations were defiant in the face of Trump's threats of legal action and funding cuts."
"President Trump and Davis Sacks aren’t making policy—they’re running a con," said California Gov. Gavin Newsom, referring to the scandal-plagued White House AI czar. "Every day, they push the limits to see how far they can take it. California is working on behalf of Americans by building the strongest innovation economy in the nation while implementing commonsense safeguards and leading the way forward."
Trump signed the order after the Republican-controlled Congress repeatedly rejected efforts to tuck a ban on state AI regulations into broader legislation.
"After months of failed lobbying and two defeats in Congress, Big Tech has finally received the return on its ample investment in Donald Trump," Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) said in a statement Thursday. "With this executive order, Trump is delivering exactly what his billionaire benefactors demanded—all at the expense of our kids, our communities, our workers, and our planet."
"A broad, bipartisan coalition in Congress has rejected the AI moratorium again and again," he added, "and I intend to keep that streak going. I will use every tool available to challenge this indefensible and irresponsible power grab. We will defeat it again."
Trump Calls for GOP to Ram Through AI Regulation Ban in Must-Pass Military Spending Bill
"If lawmakers are serious about AI governance, they must create strong, enforceable national protections as a regulatory floor—not wipe out state laws so Big Tech can operate without consequence," said one consumer advocate.julia-conley (Common Dreams)

Award-winning Palestinian reporter Mohammed Mhawish, who left Gaza last year, joins us to discuss his new piece for New York magazine about Israel’s surveillance practices. It describes how Palestinians throughout the genocide in Gaza have been watched, tracked and often killed by Israeli forces who have access to their most intimate details, including phone and text records, social relations, drone footage, biometric data and artificial intelligence tools.This all-encompassing surveillance system is “reshaping how people speak, how they’re moving, how they’re even thinking,” says Mhawish. “It manufactured behavior for people, so they shrink their lives to reduce risk, they rehearse what version of themselves feels safest to present, and that creates an enormous psychological burden.”
Mhawish also describes the terror of when his family’s house was bombed, killing two of his cousins and two neighbors in an attack he says was linked to Israeli surveillance of his reporting activities. “I was being watched and tracked,” he says.

"With this executive order, Trump is delivering exactly what his billionaire benefactors demanded—all at the expense of our kids, our communities, our workers, and our planet."
"A broad, bipartisan coalition in Congress has rejected the AI moratorium again and again," he added, "and I intend to keep that streak going. I will use every tool available to challenge this indefensible and irresponsible power grab. We will defeat it again."

Trump Calls for GOP to Ram Through AI Regulation Ban in Must-Pass Military Spending Bill
"If lawmakers are serious about AI governance, they must create strong, enforceable national protections as a regulatory floor—not wipe out state laws so Big Tech can operate without consequence," said one consumer advocate.julia-conley (Common Dreams)

Three US personnel killed in Islamic State attack on convoy in central Syria
Three US military personnel, including two army soldiers and a civilian interpreter, were killed on Saturday after a suspected Islamic State (IS) attacker targeted a joint American-Syrian convoy in central Syria, the US military said.
US Central Command said three additional US soldiers sustained injuries in the attack, which took place in the town of Palmyra. The command said a lone gunman opened fire while US troops were carrying out what it described as a “key leader engagement”.
IS did not immediately claim responsibility. However, a senior US official said early assessments point to the armed group as the likely perpetrator. The official added that the attack occurred in an area outside Syrian government control.
Online Piracy Can Boost Box Office Revenue, Study Suggests

No need of a study.
More people play it (even if pirated) = more people spread the content = more people are gonna buy it = profit
So piracy = profit
Pure logic
Not going to cinema means saving lots of emotional pain created by the actual cinema experience:
- Ads
- More Ads
- Trailers
- 20 minutes of that shit (despite paying for the movie!), movie finally starts. Now this happens:
- People talking during movies
- People watching phone during movie
- People eating candy (loudly) during movie
On top of this, what are the odds the movie will be good? I think ive been disappointed by almost every movie this year, so thank god i didnt watch them in a cinema.

Yeah. I used to go to the cinema often as a kid but people were quiet so there was never any problems enjoying the movie.
And it was before mobile phones.
I should point out that the cinema experience used to be better. People have become more selfish.
Also, it heavily depends on the kind of movies you're watching. Trash attracts trash.
Not the first study to support the theory that piracy actually helps sales instead of hurting them.
Another study showed that pirates spend more on media than the average person too.

This literally happened for me with the movie(s) Wicked. I didn't watch the first part just to have it end half way through the story and be told to wait until next year. Then the second half comes out, and after the opening weekend where a couple downtown theatres had busy double feature special events, Part 1 was playing in theatres literally nowhere in my city. And no way I'm signing my life away for Bezos BS just to watch this. (Does a stream even earn the movie studio anything significant? The theatres get nothing...)
I only bought a ticket to watch Part 2 because I viewed Part 1 by other means. The theatres missed out on an opportunity for me to watch the first one in succession with the second. And if I didn't watch the first, then I wouldn't have watched it at all and the theatres and publishers would have missed out on a sale.
If the copyright industry calls missed sales "stealing", the theatres and publishing licensors steal from themselves by making it difficult to view the full story.

We help revenue, but don't care about it.
They hurt revenue, but don't care about it.
Nobody cares. End of the day, it's just a fucking power thing.
Thing is, you'll talk to people about the shows and movies you liked. You'll recommend them. You'll discuss them online. Maybe just upvote a post talking about them, make it more visible.
And someone who doesn't pirate will see that, and pay to watch it. (And, in turn, also promote it like you did.)
If the product is good enough (and if people are pirating it it probably is), piracy is free publicity.
And if it's not good enough, people won't be pirating it anyway.
So, given that you wouldn't have paid for it anyway, it works out that piracy provides a net benefit for the producers... and for society as a whole, since it incentivises them to make their products good enough to attract pirates, thus raising the average quality of entertainment.
EDIT: also, for the same reason they should be giving their product for free to reaction channels and even paying them (like game companies — Nintendon't excluded — already do with YouTube reviewers), since it's cheaper and more effective than normal advertising.
Yeah, my main motivation in setting up Jellyfin was to have everything in one place.
No more having to check which service has it, only to find that 20 year old movie can only be rented for £6.99.
I'd probably pay the cost of 2 streaming services, in order to have a single service that has literally everything on it, and keeps it on it.
Wait, we have to learn this again?
Did we not do this... 20 years ago, with the music industry?

"I was forced to use AI until the day I was laid off." Copywriters reveal how AI has decimated their industry
[...]How have the copywriters been faring, in a world awash in cheap AI text generators and wracked with AI adoption mania in executive circles? As always, we turn to the workers themselves. And once again, the stories they have to tell are unhappy ones. These are accounts of gutted departments, dried up work, lost jobs, and closed businesses. I’ve heard from copywriters who now fear losing their apartments, one who turned to sex work, and others, who, to their chagrin, have been forced to use AI themselves.Readers of this series will recognize some recurring themes: The work that client firms are settling for is not better when it’s produced by AI, but it’s cheaper, and deemed “good enough.” Copywriting work has not vanished completely, but has often been degraded to gigs editing client-generated AI output. Wages and rates are in free fall, though some hold out hope that business will realize that a human touch will help them stand out from the avalanche of AI homogeneity.

Behind the Seized Venezuelan Tanker, Cuba’s Secret Lifeline

Firms with ties to Cuba are getting a larger share of Venezuelan oil exports, as the island’s security agents boost President Nicolás Maduro’s defenses.
[If the US didn't embargo and sanction Cuba and Venezuela, this wouldn't be necessary.]
On Friday, Cuban officials condemned the American seizure of the tanker, calling it in a statement an “act of piracy and maritime terrorism” that hurts Cuba and its people.“This action is part of the U.S. escalation aimed at hampering Venezuela’s legitimate right to freely use and trade its natural resources with other nations, including the supplies of hydrocarbons to Cuba,” the statement said.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
