Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

He doesn't talk about the 1930s because his petition is not getting enough support. Or not principally. The reference to the 1930s is about something else. First DoDo's "reluctance of personal friends to take risks against the angry mob". And then
Es sind ja auch nur die leeren Flüchtlingsheime die brennen, nicht unsere Häuser. Und wenn als nächstes die Flüchtlinge selbst brennen, dann geht uns das doch gar nichts an. Wir gucken lieber DSDS und außerdem fängt nächste Woche ja die Bundesliga wieder an. ,,Lass mich doch in Ruhe mit Deinem Politkram, uns tut doch niemand was. Übertreib doch nicht. Die Gefahr sind doch nicht die besorgten Bürger, die Gefahr ist der Islam, der Ami, der Jude, der Euro, der Fremde."
Ja, mit Ausnahme von Euro, DSDS und Bundesliga, wird man Ähnliches in den 30er Jahren auch gehört haben.
It's only empty refugee homes to burn, not our houses. And when next the refugees themselves burn, it will also be none of our concern. We prefer to watch DSDS ["Germany's got Talent" (?)] and moreover the Bundesliga bagins next week. "Leave me in peace with your politics, nobody is doing anything to us. Don't overreact. The danger is not the 'concerned citizens', but Islam, the American, the Jew, the Euro, the foreigner"."
Yeah, with the exception of the Euro, talent shows and the Bundesliga, one would have heard very similar things in the 1930s.

"We prefer to watch DSDS ["Germany's got Talent" (?)] and moreover the Bundesliga bagins next week. "

High brow nonsense. I bet there are a lot of refugee helpers who watch cheap Entertainment, includng Football. Perhaps even together with refugees. Who after all are human beings too and not just abstractions.

"It's only empty refugee homes to burn, not our houses. And when next the refugees themselves burn, it will also be none of our concern."

Well, not in my name.
