@randahl thanks for sharing

Given that the AfD now has around 20% of the vote here (and another big party has really problems to keep themselves away from the far right) ... while I understand their reasons, I'd recommend to read up a bit on current German politics first.
Make no mistake: As far as I am concerned they're welcome. But I'd really see "back to Germany" as a Hail Mary pass, if I were them.
@glitzersachen @randahl We'll be happy to welcome them in Greece.

@randahl Trump administration be like:
-
@randahl Idk if this is the best decision. Since Germany strictly follows USA (and has #AFD in its starting positions for next election). But as we say "In der Not frisst der Teufel Fliegen." (Desperate times call for desperate measures.) Atm it is more save in Germany than in the USA.
I wish all the people good luck and success with their papers and safe travels.

@me_valentijn @randahl I agree with you, but I would strictly distinguish between Israels politics and Jews that flee a country. These people need our help. Like everyone else whose lives are threatened by #MAGA and #ICE

@randahl I did it during the first Trump regime. It’s an incredibly ironic thing. But I am here because my grandfather made the choice to leave Germany in time. Options protect us. Reclaiming them is liberating and healing.

@randahl Crazy world… However, looking at our political landscape in Germany, I’m not sure if that’s the most future-proof decision
The world is in bad shape rn…

@glitzersachen I understand your point. IMO it is a question of quick & possible solutions rather than personal preference. 20% is not 50%. It might be safer to move quickly now & see what can be a better option in a few years - I doubt GER will turn Nazi within a few years, so that allows for time & planning. Also: in GER there is an additional safety net preventing a state going fully Nazi too quickly: the EU. Although I agree, the drift to extreme right throughout Europe is scary.
@randahl -
@jens that is indeed true - IMO Merz, Starmer & Rutte are the most dangerous polititians in Europe right now, b/c of their fan boy behaviour they are weakening EU and empowering the USA narrative. BUT: a quick solution to flee right now with all assets intact, can be better than to sit it out, b/c once in GER, which in many cases is very easy to accomplish, you can move on to a carefully planned/better solution. IMO this is a case of "better safe than dead".

Wow! That 101yo lady (bright as a button) gets it: Trump will turn on anyone if there’s profit potential. For him. -
