Turning antisemitism into a weird game like this doesn’t seem like the best way to protect Jewish people. Also, can I just say, the non-stop harassment of Ms. Rachel in particular for just saying “please stop killing Palestinian children and their families” is bone chilling.

Chaque semaine, l'extrême-droite agresse, assassine. Et à chaque fois, il faut répéter que cela n'a rien d'un acte isolé, que cette violence s'épanouie parce que le gouvernement et les médias propagent un discours raciste et des mensonges éhontés sur les musulmans, les personnes racisées & la gauche

Well do government intervention in the economy and seizing some means of production like socialists, but for right-wing nationalist and corrupt ends. A “social nationalism,” if you will. We can workshop the name later.

The only thing that has improved is the ability to work from home and the media and political class came after that because commercial property values and Pret profits

Everything about work has got worse over decades from business not sharing success via pay rises, reduction in benefits including pensions, “headcount reductions”, lack of stability increased workloads etc and you want 66 year olds to have the grind mindset?

Believe it or not we are not solely surplus value generating sacks of meat whose only purpose is to “boost the economy”

The thing is: “remigration” is already happening. Far from the comments sections underneath pieces of writing like these, where people exchange anguished or angry words about the future of Germany and the country’s soul, people are already leaving. Foreigners out, cry the protesters, and in some sense they are getting their wish. Every few weeks, I go to check in on a friend or acquaintance and find that they are either in the process of packing their bags or they are gone, gone, gone. In general the white ones are staying in Europe and the non-white ones are putting an entire ocean between themselves and here. Germany’s problem isn’t the loud migrants like me. It’s the ones who right now are leaving silently, never to return.

Last week I checked in on a friend, someone who I thought would be one of the very last immigrants (who have any other options) to leave Germany, only to find that they and their family are already in the process of leaving. Their explicit reason: the rise of fascism. Very, very disturbing times.

Sean Thomas London’s demographic change is unprecedented in peacetime Most of the population has been replaced within a couple of generations

If the entirety of your op/ed compares demographic changes in London to the Khmer Rouge's mass murder of millions of people, you are willingly engaged in stochastic terrorism, and should be held responsible for any and all violent actions committed by fascists against non-white people
