Almost worldwide, people are declaring that Russia must be sanctioned, making it clear that Russia's behavior is unacceptable. Now there are some people who use this new "trend" to imply a division in their own society, because they are simply not used to it any other way.
Unfortunately, society is constantly divided in these times, and so the latest developments again provide an occasion to split off, defame, hostile, etc. a new group of people. In Germany, this politically and medially induced division led to protests at the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin last Sunday, where several dozen Russian-speaking Germans spoke out against the current hostilities.
Germany is home to an estimated five million ethnic German immigrants, i.e. Russian Germans and another one to two million migrants from the former Soviet Union. Since the beginning of the Second World War, there have now again been crimes specifically directed against people of Russian origin in Germany, which have turned out to be the sad result of one-sided manipulative reporting (keyword: framing) by the Western mainstream media.
Several cases of damage to property against Russian businesses were registered, in which shop windows were damaged, threats and hate mail or damage to cars with Russian license plates also played a major role. Unfortunately, there has also been an increase in bullying at school against children of Russian origin, dismissals have been made because of the Russian roots of the employees concerned, and even physical attacks against Russians have steadily increased.
One participant in the demonstration mentioned at the beginning reported that her daughter and her friends were beaten up by a man on a public bus because they spoke Russian. As far as official figures are concerned, interior ministries as well as the Russian embassy speak of hundreds of complaints, and the Saxon police speak of an increased risk situation for officially Russian institutions.
It is frightening to witness this division in a supposedly enlightened society! Theoretically it should be in now so that politicians are just in such a situation for their entire people there, but if instead already for a long time people who want to determine even over their body in the case of a vaccination refusal of the constitutional state not only "not" are protected, but also still from politics, media and agitated citizens must hear "We do not let them get away with that! ", before next a group is threatened only because of their ethnic origin (keyword: Russians) and nobody knows who is next on the politically correct "hit list", then this "oblivion of history" and "obedience to authority" to state media and the established politics, which reminds of dark times, offers quite cause for concern!
Unfortunately, it must be said the behavior of people who are obedient to "state radio" has not exactly become unpredictable, but reveals the darkest depths of their souls. If especially naive and mainstream people get such an enemy image presented, then nothing questioning and gullible people quickly start to think "Yes, my neighbor, he is also one of those, he also has Russian roots (or is a non-vaccinated, depending on which enemy image is currently in vogue), I don't like him now either and I now also declare him to be my enemy, which it is necessary to fight together with the other neighbors!
Another fact is that tomorrow everyone can be the next scapegoat! The one who still agitates against others today could be the bogeyman himself the very next day, who is pilloried by everyone! You just don't know, or would any of you have thought in 2019 you yourself could be declared an "enemy of society" at some point and that only because you criticize excessive measures of the government, because you don't want to be a laboratory rate and don't want to have an insufficiently tested substance with an "emergency approval" injected into your body, just because the media demand that?
In the meantime, Russian-speaking and non-vaccinated people can probably imagine very well that they will be declared an object of hate by some people, because in the media it is just propagated how bad the wrong ethnicity or people with a politically incorrect opinion are, which can no longer be tolerated worldwide in systems developing towards totalitarianism. The same applies, of course, to other groups of people who will follow the current objects of hatred and who, at the moment, probably cannot imagine getting into such a situation themselves, just as those who are now affected could never have imagined it a short time ago.
I don't think everyone who falls for the mainstream immediately acts out their media-instilled hatred on the groups that have been cleared for firing, but I still think such topics need to be approached with sensitivity if the calculations of the string-pullers behind the scenes are not to work out. It is always important to inform oneself independently of governmental sources and to keep an eye on what is happening in the world.
What happens here is not new in history, but already often in other form long ago. There are new terms, but old tricks, which are used, so new designations of certain groups of people, but in the end it is always the same method! We know in the Nazi regime, among other groups, first of all the Jews were declared outlawed and this not at all over night, but during a longer lasting development (keyword: state radio, framing, dehumanization). In communist regimes, dissenters with different opinions are considered "class enemies", plutocrats call them conspiracy theorists, there are many masks for the same evil, but the "mechanisms" in superficially different-looking but generally fascist systems are always the same, which in these dark times for the first time are even spreading globally.
In the end, it is not even these increasingly totalitarian plutocrats with their globally installed control system that are our main problem, but the good people who remain silent for fear of reprisals and thereby give power to evil, as others have done so often before in history with consequences that are known to us all.
This time, may enough people in the world find the courage in time to stand united against the prevailing narratives of the 21st century, regardless of any reprisals, in order to prevent a global repeat of the same history that has already happened too many times in this world.
Thanks a lot for sharing so much truth about what's happening to regular Russians in the world who have nothing to do with the war. I wrote many times that those sanctions will hurt only regular people. But what we can tell to brainwashed people by the media. They will keep telling the same thing. Only normal people will understand that's a war against all citizens in the world, but politicians stay safe as they always do.
Thanks for the feedback :)
Ignorance, that is the art of not wanting to see the truth is far worse than normal cluelessness and one of the typical signs of decadent societies, but I have hope that increased people will wake up when they start to suffer from the lies, be it vaccine side effects or economic sanctions, with which they will do at least as much if not more damage to themselves than to the sanctioned.
I can only laugh at the world these days, and so many people are just so blind.
So true!
