While I wholeheartedly agree with your points about being forced to remain a wage slave for pennies (in comparison to say the US) and people relying on the government way too much— these are right on the money — I do think casually slipping in “orgies” lessens the validity of your claim in the reader’s mind.

Also I don’t think it’s fair to claim immigrants are being set on fire (with no citations) like it’s just regular business. Horrible things happen everywhere and I doubt Germany is the worst place in the world.

Overall you had me in the first half, then went off the reservation. Still I hold that your first points are valid.

It’s probably because you graduated from a university? :)

I in fact did not ;)

My comment meant to trigger thoughts, not your echo. Do your own thinking.

Just last week a Turkish family was set on fire. They will claim the victims are not Turkish and then won’t reveal the identities or photos of them. So you won’t know it’s still happening.

Just talk to any Turkish person. Speaking of startups; Nazis here still attack Turkish small business owners. Ordinary people also face racist attacks if they get out of their neighborhood. Also at work if you work with Germans you’ll deal with mobbing.

There was even a serial killer just murdering Turkish small business owners. So you thought it’s just bureaucracy?

I don’t disagree with you that nobody should have that happen to them and it’s horrible, but you’ve yet again disingenuously implied that Germany is some Nazi utopia where people are set alight on the street.

Bad things happen everywhere. DE is not unique in this regard but they do their best to prevent it, especially considering their history which weighs heavily on their culture.

(I’m not german btw)

You’re as good as Germans on making word salad for normalising racism.

Where’re you from?
