I really don’t get why so many people think the migration is their biggest problem instead of economy and especially demography in Germany. The industry is stuck in the 20th century, that’s the main problem which needs to be addressed, not if there are some migrants here and there.
Yup, that’s one flavour of propaganda. Others include racism and xenophobia, all different kinds of fear mongering from stealing jobs to raping “your” women, flat out lies like people eating pets, nationalism, exceptionalism (sadly not only an American problem), and so on. It is everywhere in pretty much all the media we consume consciously and un/subconsciously, even the most left leaning people can’t completely avoid it, we just work harder at being aware of it and (in general, should) do our best to combat it in our own minds and the minds of others.
Exactly. What’s more, demographic change alone has led to an urgent need for workers from abroad in Germany. This applies to low-skilled as well as highly skilled workers - for example in crafts, catering, healthcare, nursing, IT or engineering, just to name a few sectors. What the right-wing parties and their supporters are propagating is not only inhumane and amoral, it is also economically disastrous. It is these unscrupulous opportunists who are ruining the country with their racist hate; not the migrants - quite the opposite.
Migration is not a problem itself. It is uncontrolled migration that is. It is normal when you have a lot of people coming in your country that don’t get papers so they can’t find normal job, appartment etc that they will turn to criminality to survive. IMO I think it is inhuman to let people in these situations. I am far more for more border control and easily giving papers to people who want to come to the country than letting borders open and ignoring them and letting them rot in the street.
you either willfully or unknowingly spout far-right conspiracy theory between the lines.
migration is not only normal, but essential to the survival of the planet and each country/region. it’s a net positive.
we’ve gone so far out of our way to make it a “we” vs “them”, when there’s no “we” at all. there’s just rich people protecting their interests, trying (and suceeding) to divide the masses
I was asking myself the same thing but formulated as “are people getting more stupid?”. With the right rising and the most stupid shit like chemtrail conspiracies.

It’s always easier to blame others then think about how to improve yourselves.
Certainly when areas of improvement are controlled by rich people who in general like to contribute being rich.
Propaganda.
And scapegoating

That sounds like an argument for a robust social safety net, not an argument against immigration.
Unfortunately even the safest nets will tear if overloaded

That’s why support for anti immigration parties is so concentrated in regions with few immigrants
This is definitely not the case in Sweden. During their last election it was the complete opposite.
And why do you think it’s like that?
Bigotry of small-minded people who live in communities that need more diversity.
They’re not being ignored tho, they’re just not allowed to work
Found one.

The answer seems to be a disinformation campaign.

We are at war, they try to divide us and it is working.
