You have 4 years to address the issue, but instead chose resignation. Rather than collaborating with the other three to help guide the fifth away from radical positions. Now is probably the easiest time to do something against it before it's 2 out of 5 or even worse. What did YOU do in the last 4 years?

paid my taxes and chose public health instead of private so oma und opa could get medical attention they deserve. And now planning on moving to Ireland.

I cannot address the issue because between family and work and interviewing, time is out. I don't speak German, I can't vote.

I'd like to understand if your comment is coming from a German or not.

You've done only the bare legal minimums required to stay in the country. As a non-resident, you would also face challenges obtaining private insurance that provides the same level of care as state insurance for the same price. When fighting fascism, that effort is insufficient. I hope you find time to take up the fight when you're in Ireland, before there are no countries left to escape to. Good riddance.

> Good riddance.

.... ok?

edit:

> guide the fifth away from radical position

naive.

What to do you expect? You are crying about the society in a country you are residing in while not integrating into said society (at least learning the language) nor trying to mend it in any other way. Your first reaction is to leave it behind like you did with your own home country. I would take a sharp look at myself and my convictions before complaining about others if I were you.

You know what? You remind me of a middle aged woman who approached me screaming in January 2021 in a station in the U7 in Berlin.

I was lost, looking at a map when a woman approached me. I first thought she was looking to help me, but she came screaming in German WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT FACE MASK, THIS IS GERMANY, YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAW OR GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY.

The facemask I was using was a special face mask developed in Argentina: https://www.conicet.gov.ar/scientists-developed-anti-viral-f...

Of course the woman did not have any idea about that. But instead of asking nicely, she started screaming at me.

You remind me of her alright!

edit: also, giving opinions about my person when you don't know how or why I emigrated from the country I was born and lived for 30 years is in bad taste and reeks of Euro privilege. check YOUR privilege.

The technology of the linked facemasks was novel at the time but they were never certified as medical masks (I used them myself before medical masks were mandatory.), neither in Argentina nor in the EU while also looking like simple cloth masks. At the time she was right to say that you were not following the law. She was not right to say that you should leave the country but I bet you are also not telling us the whole interaction of your anecdote.

Based solely on our discussion, there appears to be a strong sense of entitlement in your positions and a reluctance to acknowledge your own failings while quick to point out procedural errors by others.
