I think you are wrong!

Seems like enough did: https://netzpolitik.org/2024/etappensieg-belgien-scheitert-mit-abstimmung-zur-chatkontrolle/

Two German states are about to attempt introducing a law at the federal level banning all knives with blades longer then 6cm (~~1.5~2.3 in) from beeing carried in publicin public.

This one was not passed yet.

The vote was pulled in the last minute, because they didn’t expect to get the required qualified majority. This was among other things due to the German governmant announcing to vote against it.

Germany is about to have an election next year though and the conservative and faschist parties are expected to win, I doubt they would be holding this position. France is also having an election soon with the faschists expected to win big. And their current government is responsible for this law not beeing even worse.

TLDR: It didn’t pass yet, but this will not be the last attempt at passing it.

I do recall a giant “Werbung” screen ahead of all a-blocs on TV.

I mean yeah, remember the end of the last book when the rebel leader likely decided to bomb their own medical field center in a false flag attack. So kind of.

Do you not remember how big the hunger games were?

Idk, its not like there’s no housing shourtage/rant gauging in other countries with more sensible zoning.
