"Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it". And at the moment, it looks like a lot of Germans are about to repeat... well... the Era Of Brown Shit. In some places, the AfD has become second-strongest party, and oh my goodness, I don't want to live in a country where Nazi assholes reign (again).
That is possible in Germany if the party is a danger to democracy, and the AfD is that, very obviously. So if you live in Germany, please sign here for a petition to ban them from the political landscape. And, well, you know, spread the word. As usual.
Because brown is not a good colour for Germany. Not shown openly, and not hidden under a thin veneer of blue, black, or orange. It's still shit, and it stinks, and it should be gone forever.
I completely agree and have signed the petition. However, living in Bavaria, I often wonder what the difference is between black and brown. I thought I had a good eye for colour differences, but apparently not. Black is intolerant with C (Christian) and brown is intolerant without. And then there are the Freie Wähler (Free Voters). They are either blackish-brown or brownish-black ... And I hear the debate around me change too. Things that used to be impossible to say openly to people you did not know all that well are now broadcasted without shame or restraint. I am very worried. However, I will also always pipe up when blatant lies and intolerant views are shared in my presence. Not always easy. But the least I can do. After all, I love Germany deeply.
Yes, well, in some cases it seems there's no real difference between brown, blue, and black... sadly so. Very true that things are now said out loud that people would not have said some years ago! I do certainly hope there will be enough people voting for sanity and freedom instead of brown shit when the day comes...
