Far-right gains, economic stagnation and increased political focus on migration can be major drivers of racial discrimination in European countries such as Germany.
The ongoing political focus on migration in Germany could have spillover effects. Decades of progress in making the country more inclusive of Black people could be rolled back, Tahir Della, of the rights organization Initiative of Black People in Germany, told DW.
“We already notice that, especially when there are debates related to migration, the presence of Black people and people of African descent in Germany is called into question,” Della said.
Germany, the European Union’s most-populous country, has had the bloc’s biggest reported increase in anti-Black racial discrimination, according to the 2023 “Being Black in the EU” report by the EU Agency for Fundamental Rights.
They do everywhere. That’s why racists like to encourage them. Is this not obvious to everyone?
It’s like they can’t remember back 20 years ago when naziism was deplorable and the historic outcome of it: even israel has sold it’s military soul to these far right devils. 😓 The honorable seem to be outnumbered and out gunned - but that doesn’t stop the honorable.
Indeed, same thing in Palestine, racists gaming the flames
The water does seem to be wet, after a recent survey.
What is capable of driving me mad is that these days it seems more like “recent survey says that water isn’t wet, everyone saying otherwise is a terrorist.”
Water isn’t wet though… it wets.
You’re missing the fact that water wets itself*, and is thus wet. The only non-wet water is that where the molecules are far enough apart to not interact with each other. That’s very hard to achieve even in the vapour phase.
* Yes, yes, I see you laughing. “It needs new underwear” ha ha ha. But seriously, though.
The water wetting itself was just a minor distraction, but that dehydrated (sorry, non-wet) water is going to keep me busy for a while trying to remember something I’ve definitely forgotten.
Shame that they aren’t bending over backwards to fight this Nazism to the same extent they do “anti-semitism” even though it is pretty fucking similar
I was about to say that they have the causality backwards but then I thought about it and realized that it’s both ways:
Racist demagogues complain about immigrants, which makes people more racist, which makes people more anti immigrant, which makes people more racist etc until everything is so fucked that fascists take over.
The only way to stop the process is to have highly influential politicians and journalists who are both ethically principled and at least as skilled at effective rhetoric as the fascist demagogues and their astroturfed echo chamber.
Which means that the US, Germany, the UK, India, Russia, Israel, and several other influential countries are COMPLETELY fucked right now.
Seems backwards to me. Racism is the source of the anti-immigration politics.
I think it’s a feedback loop.
