    The AfD doesn’t really give a shit about foreigners. They mainly use them to gain votes. All they care about is money and power. Blaming foreigners for all of the problems is the easiest way to get votes. They hate poor white Germans almost as much as brown people.

      Hmm, I wonder who else tried this strategy in Germany’s history… 🤔

      Oh, they care about foreigners and who they behold to be foreigners. They already had a conference, in quite close proximity to the Wannsee, to discuss how they would like to handle them. No extermination, yet. But the Nazis also didn’t start with death camps but plans for deportation or ethnic cleansing or remigration like it is called today.

        You’re absolutely right. But it is more a means of controlling anti-sentiments to gain votes and it works really well because they instill a fear into people that actually isn’t real. I’m fucking scared of what will happen when they come into power. What I meant with my comment is that they hate anyone who isn’t rich. A rich foreigner has nothing to fear as long as they play along. It’s disgusting.

      The real issue is the politicians letting in insane amounts of migrants - I don’t care whether they come from the Maghreb, or the Appalachians. That is going to have VERY long-stretching effects, and politicians are crazily short-sighted. None of them has a 100-year plan for their own country. Absolute bonkers.

        It’s not exactly desirable. I’d prefer they remain in their home countries if there were peace. After all, it’s their home and it sucks to have to leave your home. But there’s war in those countries. The problems could be addressed, one being to allow immigrants to work for example.
