“It’s good to be proud of German culture, German values, and not to lose that in some sort of multiculturalism that dilutes everything,” Musk said at AfD rally
Note the use of the dog whistle “dilute” in the German context. He knows exactly what means and anyone who isn’t interested in obfuscating the truth should call it out
He needs to stop beating around the bush and say it. We all know his mask is slipping but somehow a vast swath of people seem to be feigning ignorance.
We're seeing the rise of White nationalism fueled by defending their version of "white culture" across the globe and centered in the US. Seems to be popular among people of Germany and Anglo-Saxon ancestry, but not unpopular with everyone else, including other Europeans.
So fucking crazy that a south African who lives in America is telling Germany not to mix cultures. Doesn't really make sense until you think about the fact that they're just talking about being white.
Being German means coming from a country that didn't even exist before 1871 and formed out of many cultures and small realms. Germany is and most of the time was a country of many different people, a country of migration and immigration and that's what made us strong!
Fuck Nazis and fuck Musk and the right-wing parties!
A country that didn’t truly exist in its current form until 1989 when the Berlin Wall fell and two differently-governed landmasses were joined again, and unified Democratic governance began. (Counting territory, governance, name, culture as the usual delineations of what makes a nation.)
Deutschland is a Millennial. The heritage: avocado schnitzel.
The identity of German and German nationalism are older than 1871. German nationalism started around 1770, but even before that the HRE ruled mostly over German speaking people and created some shared identity.
It's good to be proud of yourself and your own values
My values are part German, part American, part Mexican, part Dutch, part Canadian... I pick the best of each culture and make them my own.
Just pick the best parts, the parts that make you a better human being, and then it's great to be proud of yourself. This musk stain saying thatulti cultural values is bad is suggesting that other cultures are less, somehow. It's bullshit and it's dangerous.
The path musk is in, currently, is also dangerous for himself. Tides will turn, they always do, and as far as he has gone, his name will be first when the crowds are building gallows. When WWII ended, most nazi followers were pardoned, because of course. You can't kill everyone who makes a mistake, theyd have to kill almost everyone. However, the ring leaders, those got a special treatment
If he tells us the truth, the media, especially the American media, will have lots of punditry debates and discussions about whether or not his love of Nazi Germany means he loves Nazis. And I'm sure his never actually evaluated autism (which he calls Asperger's, a now discarded medical term but one favored by the Nazis) will be brought up.
I guess he wasn't using twatter for that as that is notoriously unreliable, last time it failed badly o nhim
Having said that, I think it's fair to say that Musk is a danger to both democracy in general, and currently to Germany specifically. Germany should ban him, and label him as what he is: a wannabe tyrant dictator.
No no, you see it was a Roman salute (it wasn't), so all he was doing was hailing an emperor who was in favor of slavery and had no issue with genocide- and if you are wondering which emperor I mean, it's all of them.
