Racism is growing

Anger is a word not strong enough to describe what’s going on here. But there is no other equivalently suitable.
Racism as a phenomenon within the public sphere is growing again. Well, one could argue, it’s not actually growing, it’s only becoming more visible. True, both institutionalized and internalized racism are more visible. But as this happens, more people assume that it is socially accepted to be racist since so many more people are. And this results in growing racism.
Too many people are contributing to that. Not only the horrifying number of more than 8000 right-wingers marching on the streets of one German town while thousands of others march in another town. Not only the so-called journalists selling their souls for tabloids such as Sun in England or Bild in Germany by trying to turn figures into facts. Not only those electing populist right-wing parties because “everyone should be allowed to say this…”. They all add their little pieces to what’s going on right now. But first and foremost politicians themselves help to establish hostility towards foreigners. Only “the bad foreigners” of course. Who could be against those coming here with a highschool diploma? Exactly. Not as long as they will promise to pay their taxes and otherwise keep out of your business. That’s what the politicians of nearly all parties preach now. Defend your national borders to keep the unwanted refugees out (read: those who are not seen as profitable), try to create party programs as racist as possible to make racists like you and vote for you the next time and quietly give asylum laws a hard kick. Who has ever needed asylum? Not those white European well-borns who now spend more money on Fortress Europe than on humane housing for those in need.
Smash Frontex. Smash Europe. Smash the notion of the nation.
