I would almost agree but I’m fascinated how this uncontrolled migration narrative has evolved from the right wing conspiracy it is to becoming a commonly accepted „truth“.
Yes, Germany has done the right thing in 2015 and has shown humanity. Yes, the Dublin process was a massive fuckover and it’s also Germany‘s fault. But then small right wing nations along with our homegrown Nazi movements started throwing tantrums and now the Overton window has moved so far that politicians and media have completely adopted this narrative.
The low wage sector in full force has existed since the introduction of Hartz IV. It also extends to highly skilled jobs such as software engineering. For pretty much every skilled job from blue collar work until AI engineering we can’t find enough people because oftentimes the wages are ridiculous. However even in high skilled jobs this doesn’t mean that companies adjust the wages to create more demand, they just keep complaining that no one wants to work anymore.
I don’t buy that argument.
The cognitive dissonance between what people think about the genocide and what politicians and mass media say about it is hard to process and very concerning on top of that.
Today they’re supporting a genocide in Palestine because of geopolitics, and they’re silencing whoever criticizes them. What will it be next time? Possibly abortion or trans/LBTQ rights.
And if genocide against Palestinians is okay, that means the EU doesn’t support universal human rights. So what if next time the enemy is within EU borders, let’s say the enemy is ”migrants“. What stops politicians from genociding them under the pretense of fighting crime / terror / extremism?
The typical kneejerk reaction is that what I’m saying is overly pessimistic or even delusional because such a thing couldn’t be possible. But the precedence has already been set. We’re going down a very dark path very quickly.
