There's no contradiction between being a huge multicultural multilingual country and being a white ethnostate. Look at Israel and Canada (which are in part reflections of the US), they're both at the same time. Nations and states aren't the same thing, otherwise 'nation-state' would be redundant.
The reality is America is a huge multicultural multilingual country, not a white ethnostate, and venomous white supremacist MAGA crybabies lose it whenever that reality becomes unignorable. We should always seek to increase, not decrease, their discomfort. www.the-reframe.com/hating-the-g...

The 🇩🇪 state downplays Neo-Naziism antisemitism and disproportionately focus on/inflates left-wing antisemitism and outright manufactures 'Israel-related' antisemitism because Neo-Naziism is not a threat to its dysfunctional memory culture. It doesn't challenge it, it complements and justifies it.

The UN/ICC have never and will never go against the interest of the global white colonizer hegemony that created it. They will never protect the colonized or hold colonizers accountable for colonial crimes. Genocides and colonizer occupations will persist until we supplant the colonizer hegemony.

Und noch was: das Angst-Narrativ, dass die Stadt ein unsicherer Ort sei für dt. Mädchen wg. migrantischer Jugendlicher aus vermeintlich besonders patriarchal geprägten Elternhäusern, wird zu genüge von liberalen weißen Frauen/Müttern mitverbreitet & aufrechterhalten. Machen wir uns bitte nichts vor.

Und WEIL der Typ das weiß, sagt er es in seiner Position als BK nochmal umso deutlicher, weil er jetzt heroisch nicht nur das sagen "darf" sondern auch "muss", was so viele andere doch irgendwie auch denken und glauben zu sehen.
Was sich radikalisiert hat sind die Offenheit, mit der Gedanken, die schon ewig rassistischer Konsens waren, aber liberal verpackt wurden, ausgesprochen werden UND die Sichtbarkeit der Gegenwehr gegen diesen Konsens seitens "Stadtbild-Verpestern" selbst.

Was mich schon wieder am meisten an diesem Stadtbild Diskurs nervt, ist dass immer wieder neu so getan wird als seien diese Rhetorik und die paranoiden Gefühlswelten dahinter 1. ein rechts-konservatives "Phänomen" und 2. irgendwie radikaler geworden in den letzten paar Jahren.

We've got to stop behaving as if we're not responsible for one other. Eradicate from your mind expressions like, "I don't owe you anything.""They/she/he doesn't owe you anything." That "owe" is thinking of us in terms of transactions as if our value is only important in terms of profit & loss.
My co-worker came in one day sneezing and coughing talking about, “It’s not COVID”. Okay girl, I still don’t want it!
if you have a cough or cold, scratch throat, beginning to come down with something or getting over something, why don't you where a mask on public transportation? is the idea that if someone gets sick from your droplets that's just fate?

So the main culture war in Germany, fought by the country’s leader, is that despite mass deportations there are still too many non-white men in German cities: which needs to change so that white German daughters can feel safer. That’s an actual position that he is taking. An incitement to violence.
