You’re conflating political ideologies of radical groups with a false narrative that the entirety of Germany is inherently racist, and therefore irredeemable. I don’t disagree with your points regarding genocide in Gaza, but you’re also racist AF.
Classic authoritarian tactics:
Target a marginalized group with an issue that you’ve framed as ridiculous or politically suicidal to disagree with, get public opinion riled up by manipulating their grievances through exploiting their internal prejudices, and make everything an extension of preserving national security. Once you’ve manipulated enough people into giving you extralegal power, simply expand the circle of ‘national security threats’.
In just a few months we’ve watched Trump:
steal the power of the purse and the power to enact tariffs from Congress,
create a precedent for the unconstitutional arrest, detainment, and removal of legal residents and dissenting citizens,
iterate his intentions to restart American expansionism into Canada and Greenland,
Successfully twist the arm of media companies, law firms, and universities into doing his bidding,
And his other executive order directs Dept. Of Homeland Security, DoJ, and DoD to create a plan for implementation of military and national security assets to “prevent crime and protect public safety”.
Welcome to the ‘find out’ stage.
How does being Mexican mean you don’t speak English? Have you never met a bilingual person in your life?
Oh, right; like empathy. /s
Yeah no shit but in other countries you don’t have insurance companies and a laundry list of middlemen skimming half the revenue from your payments before a doctor even sees you.
Lol yeah the choice here is be broke or die
So close to being gay (and happy) yet too scared to admit to themselves.
I might also add none of the rights you enjoy are set in stone, so maybe when they throw you in a camp you can bring that up to them.
Beyond the thinly veiled xenophobia and eurocentrism, I find it actually ironic how many of you people spout this line of thinking since it shows your complete lack of mental capacity to engage with the reality that many of the people who flee do so as a result of Western involvement in other countries’ governments, and the rest are fighting a system that chooses racism and violence toward the poor over, and over, and over, and over…
tl;Dr: keep shitting on the Global South but don’t be surprised when you’re alone while Putin and Trump come for your children and your children’s children.
There’s a fundamental disconnect between people who live in highly developed nations and their awareness of how much populations from intentionally underdeveloped nations are subsidizing their ability to accrue material wealth. I believe this creates a scenario where the only way to continue maintaining the high living standards the West has known for 50+ years without incurring increasing costs is through the manipulative create of underclasses that allow capital accumulation to occur. Unfortunately now that globalization is out of fashion, many governments are shifting to bringing these underclasses much closer to home, which is adding to the resulting anti-immigrant, xenophobic political discourse we’re now seeing. Population growth could mostly be a flash in the pan, but if countries really do start shutting the door on immigration and have to also contend with collapsing fertility rates you can bet they’re gonna start rationalizing how to strip women’s rights away; have to keep the underclass there to feed the billionaires and scare the workers.
Depending on who wins the next presidential election in Colombia: either hunting down drug cartels or invading Venezuela.
Yeah as a brown immigrant also in the US…get over it. This was inevitable; were just speedrunning it. I know you’re hurting and want to expel that pain, but you really need to figure out how to channel it into something constructive instead of whining on the Internet.
