Enjoy it man, that's a privilege to have and it only takes 1 bad incident for it all to come crumbling down when the media blows it out of proportion and everyone goes on a witch hunt for minorities.

    Pretty sure it takes a whole lot more than that.

    You would think but wasn't it in Germany that people went out attacking migrants in response to an incident where migrants were the perpetrators?

    All I'm saying is that you assume people will respond logically like yourself but in reality that's rarely the case.

    There were a few attacks by angry people. But who says that in Germany "a whole lot more" hasn't happened? People are losing their jobs, capitalism is massively extracting people's wealth, enshittification everywhere. "A whole lot more" than one incident is currently happening.

    All I'm doing is staying realistic. You saying "one incident is all it takes" is not literally true. It's an exaggeration, not an entirely untrue one, but still.

    Maybe I've lost hope in people, I didn't mean to offend.

    You've not offended anyone. Your feelings are valid. Humans are capable of terrible things, but on the whole, we live in an extremely peaceful society. There's luckily so much more humans who do amazing things than terrible, unfortunately a few who do terrible is all it takes for the feeling of safety to crumble.

    Even the majority of Germans who let national socialism happen aren't all terrible. The absolute majority of them were just scared and ignorant and had a feeling of helplessness which is why they let it happen, but the actual agreement and horrible things were done by a minority of people. Same in other areas today where terrible things are happening.
