Dude, based on that Article, Germans had the same reaction I did. The difference is that I don’t care as much, because my own country is slowly descending into fascism, while you guys (I’m assuming you’re German) seem to have a lock on it.
I don’t have to be afraid of Germany because (almost) everyone there was horrified and reacted with disgust. Your representatives and political thinkers seem to think that this guy is an asshole, and because of German history, Germany has a responsibility to stand up and say “Fuck You” to guys like this, especially when they’re German.
I don’t have to worry about Germany because Germany hasn’t forgotten what happens when fascism infects a country. My country, on the other hand, has apparently forgotten, and the whole fucking world should be terrified.
It can never happen here is the attitude that lets it happen. That applies whether it’s happened before or not. I know Germany is very different from what is was in the 1930s. I fucking lived there in the 90s. I’m not worried about Germany. It’s still a bad look.
Oh, I’m not blaming Germany. Far from it. They didn’t invent fascism. And I’m well aware of Germany’s leftist leanings, their current track record concerning immigrants, and their position as a current moral world leader.
And I am concerned about China and fascists running for office in Canada… but I’m a bit preoccupied by the fascism here in the States right now. Well, the white nationalist shit, too. Also the rise of right-wing terrorism that our press refuses to call terrorism because it’s being committed by white people I guess?
I don’t think we’re all that far apart, worldview wise. I’m just maybe a bit more sensitive to all this shit because we elected The Orange Menace.

Also, because we don’t have Tim Horton’s.

Burger King? Really?
I did not know that. That’s a damn shame. Sorry about that.
