[First of all, let's not forget that the two world wars in human history were first started by Germany as the protagonist!]
1. A big event has just happened in Germany!
On January 19 and 21 alone, more than 1.4 million people took to the streets across Germany. German police said that on the 20th local time, at least more than 300,000 Germans took to the streets to protest. Protesters gathered in the city centers of major German cities such as Potsdam, Munich, Berlin and Frankfurt to hold protests against the AfD.
At first glance, isn't it just a mass demonstration in the streets? This kind of thing is often seen in Western countries, so how can we think that a major event has happened in Germany?
2. What is different about this large-scale mass demonstration in Germany?
First of all, the fuse of this demonstration is different from the previous one, and it is very special.
According to German media reports, the reason for the mass demonstrations was that members of Germany's far-right party, the AfD, held a secret meeting with extremists in Potsdam last November to discuss how to develop a plan for the mass expulsion of foreign migrants.
After this incident was exposed, it triggered demonstrations in many places in Germany. The report also said that the demonstration was strongly supported by the Scholz government in Germany.
The AfD is a far-right party that plots mass expulsions of foreign immigrants. As soon as this kind of thing was exposed, it was naturally opposed by many people.
Why?
Over the past decade, the wars in Libya, Syria, the war against IS, and the Russia-Ukraine war have brought tens of millions of Middle Eastern and Eastern Europeans into the EU, and a large number of them have entered Germany.
Currently, 12.3 million people living in Germany (just over 80 million in total) do not have a German passport, and 5.3 million of them have lived in the country for more than 10 years.
Just imagine, if so many people were to be expelled from Germany on a large scale, one can imagine how big a "wave" would be set.
In addition, what kind of "expulsion method" will be adopted in the plan drawn up by the far-right party? Will it be sent out by car, or will it be "driven out" by chasing the ass with a machine gun?
These are very scary!
3. How will the Germanic peoples, the main people of Germany, react?
Germany is a populous country in Europe, with more than 80 million people. More than 1 million people marched against the mass deportation of the foreign population, most of whom were immigrants, especially those who had not yet obtained passports.
The main ethnic group in Germany is the Germanic people, although on the surface, it is only the German far-right party, the AfD, wants to expel foreign immigrants on a large scale, but it is enough to show that the contradictions between German foreign immigrants and the German Germans have reached a point where it is difficult to reconcile.
Let's not forget that when the "big things" in German history were all about the rise of nationalism, the Germans considered themselves to be the best people, and they all wanted to trample the non-Germanic people under their feet, or even exterminate them all, which was what the Nazi "mustaches" did back then.
4. Will German Germanic nationalism erupt?
Don't underestimate the far-right German party, the AfD, for plotting a mass deportation of immigrants.
Because, in recent years, despite the criticism of the AfD, it has expanded rapidly, and the support of the AfD has soared, and it has become the second largest political party in Germany.
According to statistics cited by the Financial Times, recent national opinion polls in Germany show that nearly a quarter of Germans said they would vote for the AfD, ranking second behind the CDU and ahead of all three parties (SPD, Greens and FDP) in the ruling coalition led by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
So think about it, if the AfD continues to "arch the fire" for nationalism, will it ignite the explosion of the entire Germanic nation?
5. What are the hidden risks?
Now, a quarter of the German population supports the AfD, and it is foreseeable that as long as the German economy continues to deteriorate, the number of people supporting the AfD will only grow.
In the future, the possibility that the AfD will become the largest party in Germany is very high. So if the AfD were to become the largest party in Germany, how would it choose?
In all likelihood, the AfD will push the whole German society to an extreme nationalist transformation, which will mean that German politics will completely change, and it will also mean that the German Germans will once again be "tossed and turned" as they were at some point in history!
And this will be very scary.
Unlike other European countries, Germany is both an economic powerhouse and a manufacturing powerhouse. The biggest difference between a country like Germany and other European countries is that if Germany is forced to get involved in a war, it has war potential. There are people who want to be made, and there is a manufacturing industry, and its ability is that other European countries together are not as strong as his ability.
Let's not forget the power and ferocity of the "German tank!!
6. Why is this happening in Germany?
The fundamental reason is that the German economy has been in great difficulty in recent years.
To put it simply - the direct cause is the Russian-Ukrainian war, which was designed by the Americans.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Germany's access to low-cost energy from Russia was cut off, and the German economy suffered a heavy blow. In 2022, Germany's GDP growth was only 1.9%, and in 2023 it fell by 0.3%. In the past two years, the inflation rate has been much higher than its GDP growth rate, with the CPI reaching 7.9% in 2022 and falling to 5.9% in 2023. With such a growth rate and such an inflation rate, Germany will not be able to survive for long, and the internal contradictions will become more and more acute.
Let's look back at history, whether it was the First World War or the Second World War in the last century, it was caused by the economic crisis and the repartition of the world by various empires.
We should also not forget that Germany ignited the world war twice in history, and it was an important reason to get rid of its domestic economic difficulties and strive for national development.
From this point of view, no matter what country, if the economy is in trouble and in a desperate situation, the government will "continue to live" and the people will "live"!
And this also needs to be paid special attention to by the big countries in the East - once the economy collapses, difficulties and troubles will follow!!
7. Don't ignore the rise of German nationalism!
There is a unique unity and strength in the bones of the Germanic people of the German nation!
In German history, there was an iron-blooded prime minister, Bismarck, and a "mustache" during Nazi Germany, which is not accidental, this is determined by the character of the Germanic nation.
Think about it again, after the Second World War, the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain tied the hands and feet of the Germans and castrated the Germans, but Germany still developed into a world economic power, especially an industrial power, and this is not accidental.
Today, the German ruling coalition led by Scholz is not good at economics, but likes to engage in some political moves, and the choices it makes are not conducive to the German Juche nation.
For example, in this Russia-Ukraine war, the German government completely turned to the United States and became the vanguard of the charge against Russia, which actually dealt a great blow to the German economy and hurt the German Juche nation.
On the Palestinian-Israeli issue, the Scholz government has rushed even more fiercely than the United States, and many of the Scholz government's actions are objectively a drain on Germany, which does not benefit Germany's economic development or the German nation.
If the German economy continues to deteriorate, then German nationalist sentiment will inevitably erupt, German politics may reorganize, and the far-right forces may come to power.
What should be seen even more is that if another far-right nationalist like a "mustache" emerges in Germany and becomes the leader of Germany, and he is very capable of boosting the German economy and making the pride of the German nation burst again, then the power of the "German chariot" may explode in an all-round way!
And what does this mean for US imperialism and what does it mean for the world?

[In short, let's not forget -- although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu! You can wait and see -- in the future, those who have the courage and ability to pick off the US imperialists must have the Germanic people of the German nation!]
