Dont fail your Asian country civil service exam or you’ll have to start claiming youre related to Jesus, and boy, will that cause problems!

is this real

Frankly this is not just isolated to erotica and NSFW artists, but all creators. The amount of vitriol you get if something 'blows' up in the wrong way is frankly difficult to deal with and has lasting consequences for your mental health.

the .gov addresses thing was not real.

i love this thread

amazing first post

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesn’t get talked about as much because it’s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.

One thing I try to do in Germany is speak to people who will be most affected by the far-right’s ascent: non-white people, refugees, asylum seekers, queer people. I can say for a fact, after ten years here, that I have never heard fear like this. Never. Yes, there is resistance. I hope it’s enough.

A striking thing about the rise of the far-right is that they exploited a resentment towards migrants that exists across the political spectrum - even in some progressive spaces. I would read people who wrote “Germany is not a migration country” and I would think “you are but you don’t want to be”.

In one sense I am very concerned about the rise of the German far-right. In another sense I am quite calm. I am just trying to document each stage of this process so that most people can’t pretend they didn’t know this was happening. Many of them knew but they found it too painful to look.

I remember seeing a poll which said that over sixty percent of Germans were worried about the rise of the far-right. So popularity of the far-right project isn’t the problem. The real problem, I think, is passivity in the face of German fascism. That is (quite literally) the killer.
