Musa Okwonga: I finally wrote an essay about the rise of the far-right in Germany, for DIE ZEIT. It’s called “The Hatred Is Accelerating” and you can read it in English here: www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... and in German here: www.zeit.de/kultur/2023-... - if of interest, please share.

Yes absolutely - what’s also striking is the speed of that rise in discrimination

Yeah, the speed is in many ways the most terrifying aspect. If it can happen so surprisingly fast in Germany, then the same can happen anywhere. Your observation that the handling of Covid was, at the least, coinciding with this development was new to me. Thoughtprovoking! Thank you!

I used that stat in a slide for a paper in all this last Friday. Next time I can reference your article. 🙏

Oh wow - thank you so much Dirk.

Thank you Musa - this is really powerful. It's scary to read, but it's true and needs to be shared.

Thank you so much Matt. Thank you.

Danke Musa, als transidenter Mensch mit Migrationshintergrund fühle ich das von dir geschriebene sehr. Rassismus begleitet mich seit meiner Geburt in Deutschland immer wieder. Aber die letzten Jahre merke ich, wie ich mir immer mehr Gedanken mache, wo ich flüchten könnte, wenn es hier eskaliert…

I am just so sorry. I hope you’re doing okay. X

Thank you Musa, it is of interest. Hope you keep on living in Berlin, we can fight racism and fashism better with you!👍

Thank you very much, that’s very kind of you! Still here 🙏🙏

Great read, thanks.

Hatred has a root cause and it's everywhere. #bethepeople

Thank you so much, you made it to the essay! ♥️

Danke Musa 🙏

Ich sehe das und warne in meinem Umfeld seit 2015 davor. Es gibt Leute, die auf mich gehört haben und mir glauben, und es gibt Leute, bei denen man gegen eine Wand redet.

Thank you
