This is great news. However, I can't help but fear that people went back to their private lives afterwards thinking "well done, we defended democracy". Where to go from here? How to keep people engaged in fighting the right? What are realistic next steps for those of us wanting to do more than voting and the occasional demonstration, other than violence? On another note, how might one approach minorities concerned by the indicated policies to join the movement?
Trump is going to win, AfD is going to win, it's going to be hilarious, and the minorities are coming with us. You should enjoy the ride.
I fail to see the “hilarious“ part
It's hilarious because the left can't admit any of their own mistakes. For example, the mass migration into western nations. People said this would cause crime to increase, homelessness, economic turmoil, etc and were simply branded racist for their valid concerns. Now all those things are happening and the left still can't admit to any of it being true. They just bury their heads in the sand and keep yelling "racist!" and "fascist!" if people don't want millions of foreigners shipped into their home town and supported by their tax money. Oddly they themselves are the ones promoting racists and fascists if those are the only people who are willing to listen to their legitimate concerns. The left is completely delusional on an individual level and even when you point this out to them, support it with facts, they never admit fault or reconsider their positions. Right now the left media is sensationalizing "fascists" but not covering the crisis caused by their own policies. What do they expect that to result in?
Again, the left brought in tons of "migrants" who wouldn't even be coming if western nations hadn't blown up their countries, people said wait a minute, why are we letting people come here from the very countries we are supposedly fighting a "war on terror" against and blowing up all their stuff, won't they be upset with us, aren't they incompatible with western values, won't they compete with us for jobs, won't we have to spend our taxes supporting them? All of these things and sure enough there are a ton of problems now as a result of the actions of the left and when a political party rises in power to stop them the left starts yelling "facists!" Do they really not understand that people would rather vote for fascists than have their countries destroyed and overrun with people who literally hate them and their way of life?
The left wants people to peacefully accept the destruction of their society. They refuse to look at any of the damage their policies have caused. Honestly my only conclusion is that this is simply the powers that be setting people up to implement fascism.
The most entertaining part is now they're talking about banning the party that is offering to counter these policies. As if the party came out of a vacuum and simply wants to get rid of all immigrants. The left is incapable of seeing it's own role in things. Now they want to ban a political party, censor it, spy on it, etc while calling them fascists as they themselves pull out every authoritarian trick in the book crushing the will of the people as they bray about protecting democracy.
See Trudeau violating the constitution, stealing people's money and locking them out of banking, just because people successfully protested against him and his COVID nonsense. The left IS the fascist authoritarian state they keep claiming people should be scared about if the right wins.
They want mass deportations of German Citizens with the wrong skin colour and People who don't think like them That's textbook fascism. Also either they compete for Jobs with us (Good, we have a shortage of workers as Germany is overaging), or they siphon of tax money. You need to decide which scapegoat you use
It doesn't matter if it is fascism. That's the whole point. The left is refusing to admit that their policies are having a negative impact on people and they're embracing fascism because at least those people are agreeing that it is a problem.
Western nations are playing the "we have no workers" game after decades of stagnant birth rates because people have no money. Not because people just suddenly decided they don't want a family. Parroting this is just more of the same lies that people are sick of hearing.
The government can use policies to boost birth rates domestically and it should be doing so sooner rather than later if they are sincere. Instead, they are keeping the youth impoverished, and telling them the solution to their problems is immigrants. Not only that but then they try to play on their sympathies saying they're "asylum seekers" when those SAME governments are the ones making them refugees by destroying their countries. How does it make sense to blow up Syria, try to topple the government, and then welcome in their "refugees"? That is extremely paradoxical and I don't think you'll find any historical precedent for welcoming in the very people you're dropping bombs on. It's obvious those people are extremely resentful and have no interest in assimilating and that is exactly what the evidence supports. Using Germany as an example it would be like welcoming in Russian immigrants while at the same time you're doing all you can to kill Russians and destroy their infrastructure. Where are all the Russian asylum seekers and refugees being ferried into Germany by international organizations? Why is it just hand picked countries this is being done in? Because it's all a sham and the left refuses to admit what is obvious.
Immigrants can both take work AND siphon tax money. It is propaganda, which is used often, to try to say "they're saying X but Y so which is it? They can't both be true!" Actually, yes, they can both be true. Bringing in foreigners to work for dirt cheap and live in subsidized housing is exactly that and it's the kind of thing people are sick of seeing. Meanwhile, where are the politicians working on raising western birth rates?
Have any politicians proposed sweeping reforms to child tax credits? Are they working hard to fix the housing situation for young people so they can have the actual space to house a family? No. They aren't. They're working as hard as they can to blow up other countries, bring those populations in, pay them nothing, use tax money to support the corporations, and tell everyone that if anyone resists them it's because they're racist fascists.
So, people are deciding, well I guess I'm a racist fascist because that is the only avenue I'm being given. Certainly the left isn't interested in addressing any of the problems they're creating they just call you a racist if you talk about the out of control rape and other issues.
There WILL be a fascist take over and dumb people ignoring legitimate concerns of the general populace and labeling them fascist will be the cause of it. You're building those fascist parties up every day when you keep parroting propaganda and ignoring what is obvious to the average person. They will flock to whoever will promise a solution even if it's ethnic cleansing. To me it seems entirely manufactured and that this is the desired conclusion.
Western populations are so exploited they won't even reproduce anymore due to lack of resources. Their own government is telling them not to worry that they have no chance of having a family. Don't worry because there are some other people who have been horribly exploited in places like Africa and the Middle East who we can bring it to replace you. If you think this is a problem it's because you're racist.
The left is literally the dumbest most propagandized people I've ever seen that they go along with this. You have to either be incredibly stupid or incredibly evil to keep parroting stuff like "we need more people" in response to the government fucking everyone, literally everyone on the whole planet, for the sake of further concentration of power and wealth. Imagine seeing this and going along with it while pretending you're fighting fascism.
Hope you got your kool-aid folks, there's going to be a national shortage caused by this one.
