    It’s weird how common this is. Like in the US the biggest boosters of ICE aren’t like sons of the American Revolution. It’s people whose position in society is more tenuous. Maybe children of immigrants, people who aren’t viewed as fully American. I feel like a psychologist might be able to explain this but it makes no sense to me.

        She’s from Sri Lanka. So the (co-)leader of the German far right is an open lesbian, married to a foreigner, they live in a foreign country (Switzerland) and have two kids. Before her career with the Nazi party she was active in her local lgbtq community.

        And this person is anti-immigration, german-only, and advocating traditional families and values.

        She’s a useful idiot.

      You already explained it yourself. It’s about perceived competition.

      Can’t have a good life if everyone else is coming to get what you earned through hard work and consider rightfully yours.
