    The “ultra patriotism” does exist. You don’t like this fact and you try to make it seem less harmless by insisting that not all Americans are like this, just a couple of weirdos.

    By making it seem harmless you normalise this behaviour, but that’s not the way to go if you want to end this.

      I never said the ultra patriotism didn’t exist, I said it didn’t apply to the majority of Americans.

      I’m also not “making it seem harmless,” I’m calling you out for your dumb blanket statements.

        The amount was sufficient for the government “they” have now.

        So go ahead and dream on that it’s not as bad as I made it look like.

          Go ahead and get all of your opinions from American propaganda on the mainstream news networks, I guess.

          Clearly you know very little about this country and only pay attention to sensationalism. I guess that’s typical for a Nazi country. I should assume all Germans are Nazis because of the afd got 20% of the votes, right?

            The AfD is way past the 20%, and if you’d say, that Germany is turning way too far right, I’d agree. If you’d say, that Germany votes more and more fascist, I’d agree as well. I do see the seriousness in this, and I try to fight it. I don’t try to make it look harmless, I don’t try to minimise those issues.
