You could have just tagged me instead of being [REDACTED] about it, caught this only because someone was kind enough to downzap and trigger a notification...
Now, as you could infer by the second comment, I'm not even German, re: the first comment
You did however correctly surmise that, by nature of being descended from immigrants (as we all are in some capacity), I'm not nor should I be anti-immigration in principle
Even as a practical matter, Italy would be one of the last places someone overly concerned with immigration would want to spend more time
Now, had you taken your lithium this morning, and not immediately let your degenerated neural pathways get you thinking about hate speech because of a tongue-in-cheek comment on a niche topic on the internet... you might have noticed that the first post context was a post about Germany's place in the international economy
The song was a meming hard when OP was posted, an inside joke to the German poster whom based on previous interactions seems to be well aware the German government is not controlled by German interests, but rather by globalists.
How you turned that into something more is about you, not me, and that's clearly why you're upset... some heavy guilt you're carrying.
You mean tolerance of people like you
My tools exist to help anyone who needs them, people offended by such things don't use tools to enable themselves anyway, they find more virtue in simply crying about stuff
That ship has sailed, but I hope you'll be able to prioritize it going forward and start feeling better. Honestly, I'm sorry that meme was so triggering to you... get well soon.
Nice response

“Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, MY opinion, man.”
I didn't tag you as you're just the messenger and it's the message that I find distasteful. It could have been anyone else with super healthy neural pathways. But if you go stand up comedy, I think you can tolerate criticism. I guess the first amendment covers everything that has been said and that is precisely the point. My question was should I look the other way? Many of the responses advise me that, however sometimes a joke is not just a joke, it becomes a weapon. And when no one does or say anything, then yes, we are in the wild west and bitcoin does not fix that.
In the end, those who claim to represent the sentiment of the majority with less than 16% have ruined a fantastic song for the other 80% minority.

Since you completely fabricated the message, tagging me would have demonstrated at least to some minimum degree that you weren't purely virtue stroking yourself

Most people don't mope around about other peoples made up song lyrics

global trade != globalism
For there to be global trade there must be regions that become adept at making things, which requires supply chains, which requires security... which even in anarcho-utopia would still exist as a market good falling along enforceable borders not unlike the walls of your house
Analogizing governments to DRO's for middle curve libertarians, they are in violation of their SLA
