Well firstly I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this lol, sorry comrades I’ve not used Lemmygrad so frequently and I kinda don’t want this on my Reddit account.
So I’m a Viet studying abroad in Germany, residing in the former East. One free Saturday a while ago me and the countrymen were going to Halle and suddenly a woman appoached us, first speaking in English but then switching over to German once she realized I spoke the tongue. At first she asked how many COVID shots I’ve taken (prolly cause we were wearing face masks). I was about to answer when I noticed the ‘End CCP’ leaflet on her hand (lol can’t even get the name right eh). Then I said ‘Ich interesse mich nicht dafür’ (‘I’m not interested’), whereupon she flipped pretty hard lol.
She proceeded to ask us what we’re doing in this country, and then harangues us about how we have to ‘play with’ (‘mitspielen’) since we’re ‘now in the West, not China anymore’ (democracy much?). Then my friend just said that we’re Vietnamese and then that actually shuts her up for good, prompting her to leave without saying a word.
Smh shoulda blasted Red sun in the sky.
And that makes me think a lot: Do those ‘anti-authoritarian warriors’ realize that it’s pretty racist to assume and pidgeonhole ethnic groups like that, and that it’s un-democratic if people all have to ‘play with’ in a ‘free’ society?
Pretty unbecoming and contradictory of their ‘goals’ huh.
Also got “Nihao”'d multiple times here, beautiful country.
(Once again sorry if this isn’t the place to post stories/rants).
Of course local immigration policies are never anything western libs talk about, it never even occurs to them. In a way it makes sense, but it also completely invalidates whatever screeching they do about Asian immigration policies for example.
Tellingly enough, as a white Canadian I got an immediate exemption to the integration course, and only need to take a language course or test if I apply for a permanent visa.
It’s also a little ironic that there’s so much condescending effort spent on teaching non-white immigrants about German liberal democracy while reserving the right to vote for citizens only.
That’s liberal ideology in a nutshell. Unsolvable contradictions, because there’s no method behind their world analysis, which in turn becomes a blank canvas for conservatives and fascists to abuse it.
