Speaking Frankly...

On this day Bavaria, the state I live in votes a new parliament and it doesn't look good. I'm expecting at least 30% for the "spiritual successor" of the National Socialist German Workers Party if not more. And this scares me. It scares me a lot. For the first time in my life I'm really worried about my safety, my wellbeing. As the son of a foreigner and so called "citizen with migrant background" I'm their prime target and despite being born here and having lived here for all my 31 years now, never breaking a law, never making trouble, always paying my taxes and my share to the social security network - if they manage to get in power I can expect to be persecuted. And I'm really scared. Scared of being apprehended on the street because of the color of my skin, scared of being arrested for "being brown", scared of being dragged out of my house my grandfather built here 50 years ago with his own hands.
Everywhere I look today I see the symbols of their hate, their wickedness, their blind idiot rage and as much as I despise the already far right, ultra-conservative, theocratic party that ruled bavaria since the end of WW2 - the (literal) Alternative just scares the crap out of me.
And the worst thing is: there's no way out for me. Everywhere, all over the world the same thing happens. Everywhere you look far-right, xenophobic, hate-driven governments pop up like mold. Everywhere people turn on each other. Everywhere it's "us vs. them". Where would be a place where a man like me can live free? A man without "clean ethnic identity" or "the right god" (or any god at all for that matter)? Maybe Canada... but it's a hard choice to leave everything behind and flee to a different coutry.
I'm also sure a lot of people are happy about this, I'm also sure a lot of people wish for my death because of my political opinion and statements I made here. Usually those are the people who lose their mind when somebody allegedly infringes on their "freedom of speech" which is kinda ironic. I have nothing to say to those people anymore. They thrive off spite and misery so their own pathetic little lives don't seem that miserable to them anymore. Maybe one day you'll take a look in the mirror and realize what monsters you've become. Most likely not...
Anyway... it's no use to gloom about it... I'll go on and do my stuff as long as possible. I would appreciate, if you wish me luck. The election outcome will show how bad it really will become...

yeah our countries have a dark past and it's sad and terrifying to see it all come back. Ignorance and blind, idiot hate grips people and makes them do horrible things. And you're right, we can't lump people together, but unfortunately, that's what these rising parties do. It's really scary
2018-10-16 22:00:51 +0000 UTCUnfortunately I have the same feeling in the entire EU... I'm Italian and here in Italy people who hate migrants are growing. We are not even close to German levels, but there is a trend. I also don't want crime to increase due to bad immigrants, but we need to distinguish between good immigrants and bad immigrants. it's only necessary to limit illegal immigrants. Instead, ignorant and stupid people can not distinguish the two things. However in my opinion if a person is born here for me it becomes Italian. In the end we are all humans beings living on planet earth, I do not understand in 2018 how such things can still happen. History does not teach anything.. probably because the new generation doesn't study the history anymore. And German history is tremendous..

2018-10-15 12:44:01 +0000 UTCYeah, we can't go on like before. I really hope we can rise from the ashes - but at the moment it still looks grim.
2018-10-14 16:14:14 +0000 UTCIf the right can make an uprising like this, (Since this is the case in America as well with parents deported from their children without thought using $10 million of FEMA's money) then the left can too. Unfortunately, we don't play as dirty as them. It's pretty much rich men deciding what to do with so many lives. There needs to be a massive change/upheaval or things will only get worse. Our governments are not built for these kinds of people to take so much control.
