Vielleicht ist die Empörung über die USA politisch autorisiert, während du Ärger kriegst, wenn du dich über deine eigene gewählte Politik aufregst.
Da gerade (zu Recht) viel Empörung zu lesen ist über die Festname des 5-Jährigen in den USA, ein kleiner Reminder:
Letztes Jahr haben deutsche Polizisten ein 10-jähriges syrisches Mädchen aus ihrer Schule gezogen, um sie abzuschieben.
Mit ihr wurden 2025 über 3000 Minderjährige aus 🇩🇪 abgeschoben.

Telling the world in perpetrators and victims - the technical term for this simplification is Manichaeism, and it serves to suppress and eliminate the complex.

In consciousness, the mind becomes visible. Our ego selects from the mass of the material world. We order and evaluate objects, shape them according to our will, and thus determine the objective world from within ourselves.

Despite advancement in transnational knowledge, the public is led into and remains with a vision of migration as departure and arrival. In reality, however, it doesn't happen so linearly, and we experience manifold returns.

When the German patriot @oezdemir.de splits the EU flag into X, all the self-righteous Germans crawl out of the woodwork and display their hatred for what made Germany stable. Parts of the population are so stupid that they believe the German flag and isolationism have made Germany strong.

It should not surprise us how quickly the nineteenth-century prejudice that white men should dominate “inferior” Africans, Asians, and Latin American peoples has become common sense for much of Western politics and journalism.
