Germany - Racism: Yesterday's Jews, Tomorrow's Muslims

I see many Germans on TikTok complaining that they are called racists. I have been working in Germany for years, even before the foreigners arrived, and as a foreigner from another country with a different culture, I can confirm that this is true.

What is fair is fair: not all of them are like that, only the majority.

I have constantly faced the megalomania of Germans, who have always underestimated those who came to Germany to seek better-paying jobs.

In life, we often encounter situations that challenge our beliefs, values, and perceptions of the world. More than the truth itself, the process of accepting it deeply influences us. We want to see things as we like, to wrap ourselves in comfortable illusions, but sometimes reality breaks through with force.

Accepting the truth can bring pain, disappointment, fear, and hatred. It’s like opening a door to a dark room where all our fears and unfulfilled desires reside. In those moments, we realize that the truth is different from how we perceived it.

In Germany, the press exerts a strong influence on public opinion. As I mentioned before, since childhood, I had access to the same German channels and watched their shows. German journalism has only recently started to bring to light, in the press, some of the country’s “dirty laundry.”

Germany has pursued—and still pursues—a policy of censorship. It hides its own problems and exploits those of other nationalities. In other words, it humiliates other nationalities. This encourages Germans’ hostile attitude toward foreigners and gives them the right to humiliate migrants, exploit them, and so on.

Do you remember that report where a group of young people said that migrants should leave? On one hand, I appreciate that they had the courage to show their true face and expose the real values they live by. That’s pretty much the mentality of all Germans, but they are afraid to admit it or are in a position where they need migrants to use them for work and even exploit them. The sense of grandiosity has always been present; I even heard on television, in some speeches by political figures, a portrayal of Germany as if Hitler had been reincarnated in them. The tone was full of admiration and displayed an arrogance that made me want to throw something and smash the TV. The sad thing is that it has always been like this, and before the internet explosion, when people didn’t have access to networks, information, and freely expressed opinions (i.e., before TikTok), Germany always presented itself in this manner.

This is where the contempt for foreigners, discrimination, complaints, and hostile attitudes stem from. The press has sold Germans an illusion.

Yes, there was a time when they were an economic powerhouse—a topic I will address separately in another post—but this power was achieved by destroying the economies of other European countries and exploiting the labor of the most vulnerable, those who wanted to work.

My father is an ardent admirer of Germans; he respects and appreciates them immensely. And that frustrates me because I, his daughter, who works in Germany, know what life here is really like. It’s nothing like the image he has or what he thinks he knows. This is where our arguments always start.

We watch documentaries together, especially about the war, and I’ve taken my interest in history far beyond mere curiosity, delving deeply into the subject. In documentaries about the war, and comparing them in parallel with today’s Germany, I notice many similarities. The difference is that now Germans understand what Nazism meant and its consequences, but deep down, in a discreet form, they continue to live according to the same ideologies. This ideology combined exacerbated nationalism, racism, antisemitism, militarism, and totalitarianism, having a devastating impact on the world through its aggressive and genocidal policies.

If I look at the present and think about how Germany participates in and sustains a war in Europe—even if seemingly passively because it’s not their war—I dare say that, in essence, nothing has changed.

It’s obvious to many Europeans that in the European Parliament, Germany makes decisions on behalf of other countries, and then… Boom!... other resolutions appear that states must adopt, trampling on democracy and every citizen’s right to exercise their democratic freedom in their own country.

Did that lady ask me if I agree to invest in military powers? And not only that, there are countless other issues.

Germans have always considered themselves superior, a “superior race,” and they still live with this illusion because, for years, the press has fueled their grandiosity and stroked their narcissism.

Some might say I’m talking nonsense, but if you listened carefully to the news, you’d see I’m not exaggerating at all. I admit, maybe I can’t expose the whole truth in its raw form because I’m limited to what I see and experience.

But on television, especially when political topics are discussed, you can clearly see Germany’s attitude toward its own country and citizens—including migrants—as well as toward the European Union.

Very few Germans are aware that Germany is no longer what it once was. What is shown on TV, how the press and politicians present the country’s situation, is completely different from the reality experienced by an ordinary German. And those who realize this are precisely the ones who have to work hard, invest in their work and money, not just physical effort. Many struggle to make ends meet. Prices have risen, economic problems caused by “supporting Ukraine,” the destruction of small producers in favor of cheaper Ukrainian products promoted under the civic duty to support a country that is frequently portrayed as a victim, when in fact it is the cause of all the economic problems in Europe right now. But they have a journalism system that shamelessly lies to them and deceives them.

Instead of exposing the economic reasons for introducing insect protein flour into the diet, the press promotes its “benefits,” claiming it’s a source of calcium. Instead of admitting that the shift to a plant-based diet is also because people can no longer afford meat as often, they sell the story of a “healthy” vegan lifestyle.

Theoretically, I could sue all of Germany for attempting brainwashing and intimidating those who follow a mixed diet. The way “vegan health” is presented is questionable, especially since meat also has nutritional properties and is considered healthy. What diet someone adopts is their own business. There are many people whose bodies don’t tolerate an exclusively plant-based diet. Has the WHO banned meat consumption, claiming it’s unhealthy? It’s one thing to recommend, another to attempt brainwashing to manipulate citizens into adopting ideologies and lifestyles that make it easier for them to cope with the economic crisis. But how long can you go on with lies and deception?

Why not tell the truth? It’s humiliating! Germany can’t afford to do that because Germans are a superior race, right?! Germany introduces vegan menus in kindergartens, schools, and institutions, promoting them as healthier—not admitting that the real reason is simple: meat is more expensive, and carrots are cheaper. They can no longer afford to make soup with chicken and carrots; now they make soup with just vegetable powder and that’s it.

Yes, the press is the main culprit for how migrants are perceived and treated because it has censored the truth and sold only illusions. Migrants who face German racism and discrimination, to overcome these barriers and everything they entail psychologically, must understand one essential thing: that’s just how Germans are. You can’t take away their grandiosity and sense of superiority.

I see how Muslims are treated, and honestly, I feel sorry for them. I know there are exceptions, but the vast majority are victims of German bullying. What scares me the most is how far this bullying will go in the future. When I saw the aggression with which Germany gets involved, even indirectly, in a war that doesn’t belong to it, I wasn’t afraid of Russia or Ukraine. A cold shiver ran through my body, and I felt sick because I could already see a Third World War—not started by Ukraine or Russia, but by Germany.

In today’s Germany, I recognize the same aggressor of Europe. I fear that, just as the Jews were the victims back then, now it will be the Muslims. My blood freezes just thinking about what Europe will look like in a hundred years… or maybe even sooner.
