 @646bd5b8 Germany always has a fascist element among the population.

And I guess now it's the "foreigner bashing" time of the electoral cycles. Again. 
 @836df508 
I think it is wise to value the priceless Democratic values in Europe

And instead of fighting against fascism we should take the breeding ground away

Fighting makes the different camps only stronger in their ideas

Without breeding grounds we do not have fascism, extreme left or extreme right anymore 🤷🏻‍♀️

 @646bd5b8 The "breeding grounds" for fascists are the places where people claim it is okay to think of other people with different backgrounds as "lesser" - or worse, as threats. 
 @836df508 
🤦🏻‍♀️ That’s what a lot of people think and makes the different groups even more distancing from each other which isn’t good to come to a mutual understanding for each others “fears”

🤷🏻‍♀️ Instead of judging everything as fascist, extreme left or right it would be better to listen to each others arguments

It creates understanding and tolerance for the different points of view and leads to solutions instead of misunderstanding and anger towards different opinions 
 @646bd5b8 I am reading and translating old German folk tales. Are you saying I should try to come to tolerate those that display vile antisemitic bigotry?

In some cases, understanding can only result in condemnation among anyone left with a shred of decency. 
 @836df508 
🤦🏻‍♀️No, that’s absolutely not what I was writing

It’s clear you do not understand the message 🤷🏻‍♀️ but it’s fine I have no problem with it 
 @646bd5b8 I see people peddling the same bullshit for centuries.

And then I see others claiming that we should "listen to the concerns" of the first group.
