It's only recently that Germany has considered Russia a threat. You would think Russia's attempt to destroy their economy would be a sign to move away from Nord Stream.
- immibis 2y agoIn both the USA and Germany, people in power do not care about the well-being of their country as long as they can enrich themselves. They even both use the same fearmongering about immigrants to get votes.

- immibis 2y agoI think there's always at least a background low level of xenophobia, and it's the choice of politicians to amplify it until it becomes a significant force in society. By the way, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, etc are reduced by mere exposure to other races, gay people, trans people, etc in a normal setting.
