@scrappy_capy_distro @tech_prole @aenea My point is that if you point at an individual German and say "hey you! yes you, this sucks! do more to include immigrants, be nicer! no one has the courage to actually do something other than demos here? come on people, los!", they just feel *more* privilege guilt than they already do, mutter awkwardly about being overwhelmed and "maybe you could try talking to xyz", then melt into a puddle of "mental health", never to be seen again.

(I tried.)

so our question became, how could we do politics in a way that makes first-world people feel like commitment, openness, insurrection is a way *out* of their private impasse. if they won't bother including us, how would *we* prefigure what we want. how do we show Germans by example that courage, humour, sentiment, adventurousness, mischief isn't just allowed in political contexts but *is* a politics, an energising politics, that French-style demos are way more fun. how to show that nothing is gained if everyone looks like this >:| all the time in plenums, that you can take a leap of faith and welcome a new person as if they already are the commune comrade you dream of, that why are you so afraid of losing this middle-class life if y'all hate it so much anyway.

the text above is our attempt at a how-to.
