We’re seeing in the US that majority of the people are being apathetic or ignorant to what is going on as it doesn’t directly affect them, and others are pointing out that we’re on the same route as Germany. Once Hitler seized power and then later when the county split, what was life like for those people that didn’t say or do anything? Assuming they weren’t in a targeted class, did they just go on and live their lives normally? I know there was a drop in the quality of living for them, but did they not know any better? Was it a state of constant fear, or was there “no war in Ba Sing Se”
I’m just curious what majority of the population here would potentially experience.
to add to that, Merz was the chairman of a huge number of big corporations, said himself he travelled to the US over 170 times and is a “incorrigible optimist” when it comes to the USA (his words), he absolutely adores ultra-capitalism and has the exact same conservative ideas as the republican party. We sold out in order not to get the AfD elected, but elected a party that is just as extreme, just 5 years behind.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t support what Merz is doing. And yes, he is conservative and a capitalist. But saying he is the same as AFD or Trump is dishonest and not-helpful. We have to fight fascism and have to be clear where we draw the line. Grouping the centre-right, conservative, pro-capitalist with the real fascist, is just deluding the focus. There is enough wrong in the world right now. Lets focus on the real fascists first:Trump, Putin, Xi and all their party-friends in Europe from ECR and PfE
