“The people are everyone who lives in this country.” — Chancellor Angela Merkel, February 2017.


The Transformation of Germany
“We’ve been arguing for too long whether our country is a country of immigration. The fact is that immigration is taking place because we’ve asked people time and again to come. . . . And yet, simply recognizing that we are a country of immigration is not enough. Action has to be taken by the state, which has the responsibility to organize society so that we can live together.” — President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, August 2018
In 2015, 2.1 million immigrants came to Germany, most of them young men from Syria, Kosovo, Albania, Afghanistan, Iraq, and North Africa. According to official sources, by July 2020, the Federal Republic of Germany had 11.23 million foreign-passport holders: 12.5 percent of its population. In addition, according to Statista, more than 11 million German passport holders have a foreign background. That means the number of foreigners is now 21.58 million, or 26 percent of the population.
It took barely 20,000 Englishmen to subjugate India, about 2,500 Spaniards to dismantle the Aztec Empire, and only a few shiploads of convicts to civilize Australia.
Some schools have banned the German flag. Chancellor Angela Merkel herself has, at least once, refused to hold the national colors. In a scene in a soap opera, Hotel Heidelberg, an elderly hostess scolds a group of German businessmen who placed their black-red-gold paper pennant on her beer table. Then she throws the miniature German flag into the trash. (Clip below, skip ahead to the 48-second mark.)

People who dissent from the status quo suffer consequences. Restaurants won’t serve them, hotels won’t host them, banks won’t have them. Members of the AfD are so stigmatized that they have a hard time finding jobs. Meanwhile, the mainstream press smears those who protest against immigration while the government surveils and harasses them — especially the German Identitarian Movement, now classified by law as “a verified extreme right movement.” Employees of all kinds know that their comments, their political affiliations, and their online activities can be monitored and serve as cause to fire them.
