The new hate?

One of the question many still have for people who lived around 1930 and after is- how could this happen? Mostly this question is ask to germans, but let's be true it is a question to all of the western world. How could they do nothing?

They did nothing? Well, some tried to avoid, some did flee and some fought for the right to be and stay and told people how wrong it is to say that only the white, non jewish man is the right and true human.  And yes, it all started much earlier and we discover now these days how long some thoughts already sat in people minds. How much it was a normal thing to believe that people are not worth the same and it does matter where you from, even thought already that time people could and should have known better as they realized and found out with science how wrong some of these thoughts have been.

But now we are in a new time and it seems a new hate is growing and growing and using the same lies as they used it before but many of those who spread the hate and hurt people and burn people are young people. How could this be? Where did they learn to think so wrong and to hate and believe that a problem will fade with hate and killing people. 

Is it to feel power by giving fear? Is it to feel stronger by beating up a so called weak human?

Is it that it seems more easy to shout how bad the world is instead of doing good by yourself and those people understood only- do something by yourself because the politics will not and you have to do it right and that means fight and hate and trying to make sure that no one will get in the way?

It sure is that many of those young people have a very simple view on the world and things and therefore have more easy to believe those lies about the jobs taking away and the money wasting stories, even thought everywhere they can find the truth that it isn't that way and even cruelty is mostly made by their own people and not a foreign one and the marriage is not getting down by some gays. But how can we make them listen? 

How can they understand if they don't even listen to people like the president? Thought they have reacted very, very late and just in small and light words instead of taking action and stand up and be clear and loud and believable but power seems to distract them. 

How can we also change the view of people if the press is mostly showing the negative sides, letting the hate pass without a comment as they say it is press freedom and freedom of speech? How can a man  who believes that all people from saudi arabia, syria and so on are bad people  and so they believe they are in fact different and difficult, when the press is telling only stories about those who make problems and it also looks like all of them or  most of these humans are the same, even thought this is in no way the truth? How can we change their minds if young people believe that all in the internet is true, because they haven't learn to differ? Just take those mobile thing. The story that a refugee with a mobile can't have it that bad. Or if they paid such amount of money, they should not be here. 

Yes, some people try to make the internet the place also for making a way for the truth or part of it and telling people about those lies. But how can we make them listen and believe, when they have such a simple view on life and those things in the world and then those simple thinking makes them feel stronger and being part of a group which seems more worth? How can you open a closed mind? 

But then to go back in time, even clever people have been nazis and fascists. 

Yes, propaganda once started, is hard to avoid and to change people later into a new system is not easy to do if able as they have to make believe and to understand and not just say the words they read without feeling. No wonder that so many stayed the same in silence when it is about their believes and the shock of being wrong suddenly is also a reason and oh not to forget that far to many had not only the same job, they went on like they never did anything wrong. 

Rasism has become normal again in many countries, thought it has never for real left the building. 

We have the very same condition as 1900 and also far to many people are acting the same, even in politic they react the same.  The silence is again very strong and the warning words come from some people but not those who should know better. A president, a minister or one of all the others so called important people- they all should have open up much earlier.  How many mistakes we made, it is none of the matter as we must do right now and change what has to be change and do what has to be done and also give the possibility to do it, because a law can only come in effect, if the government gives the money to pay people to do so. And of course to make the law clear and to use it wise and to use our minds. It's a shame that we put foreign people far away from our towns and forbid them to do a step outside that place. It is a shame that we need far to much time to prove and give a chance of a new life. It is a shame that we act blind as a government when people are in need of food, cloths or a warm place. It is a shame that most help these days come from private people and organisation because the government failed again and again and again. It is a shame that we still discuss to open or close the borders, when we know it does not matter for those in need, in pain, in fear or without any hope on their place if they will try to come or not. They will come, no matter what just it matters in the way that a closed border brings more dead people. 

The question is, if the government, the politics are in the way interested to help or not. It is about money, power and international connection. But those who make war, those who sell weapons have to take the refugees who flee from our guns and bombs and the hate we build up with that. 

Yes, we have less wars as ever but more refugees and harder situation in the countries in war and also those who had war. But the western world made it worse in the last 50 years in many countries by our way of acting like an ignorant asshole who believed to know always better. 

And now lets look on us today. What can we do? Shout out? Stand up! Fight the hate but with words, with peace, with love, with songs, with helping people and with writing and talking about that and also with being on the streets and tell our government and president to act in the name of equality! of respect! out of the knowledge that we have to do it with humans and we all did wrong far to long and that it is time to tell the truth and act like that. It's enough! It's enough!

We don't need to change the law, we just have to act. We have to name hate and terror from our own people and give them law and order and show them the right way, the way of non hate and respect. 

We have to discover civil courage again!

Many countries these days have right wings politics and those have become in many places much stronger then 1930! How will this lead to a better and brighter future, if we act the same as our grandparents did? Remember we still ask how could they?! It is the way we do today, if we do not change and these days the possibilities, the ways of finding a way out are much better, much more and open to all of us. No one can say we did not know the results! And after all why not telling and naming the right wing what they are?! It is time and also we have to tell it like it is with the hard left side- they are to name the same and so we can make clear that extremist sides are not humans sides. 

It is time! The new hate has to stop! We are humans and are all equal! We need to look closer and change for real. As fast as we can and as good as we can, otherwise we will land in war and hate and repeat history one more time. This would be a sad thing. And yes this is real now.

Love and Light
