No joke I'm gonna need West Germans to stop discussing East German politics on social media (twitter). We all know these results are scary and a sign of what's to come, but if you can't even tolerate one (1) evening not being about you- a person whose direct environment is not changed by these results - but about the very real lives and fears of (queer, poc, etc.) East Germans you need to actually burn your phone and never talk again. But hey man I'm glad you're getting some likes out of being a cunt.
And let's not forget: East Germany doesn't have a Nazi problem, Germany has. Let's not pretend for one second that a bunch of West Germans who vote CDU/FDP wouldn't vote AfD in a heartbeat, if they... you know... had no money like East Germans, who live/grew up in an economy that was in no small part actively destroyed in the re-unification.
#im so fucking angry ill never open twitter again in my life#(proceeds to post this and then immediately opens twitter)#the COMPLETE unwillingness to admit that post '89 politics played an active part in paving the ground for fascism#like IM SORRY that the peace full revolution wasnt the fucking fairy tale you'd like it to be#maybe this makes me so much more frustrated because I'm west german and i look at these comments and I know where these people are coming#from because I believed the exact same shit with 19#live from the cave
