Another day, another coworker quote. I’ve never heard this one before. I’ve heard people say “if you come to our country you need to assimilate to our culture and values”, but never that China specifically sends migrants to destabilize the EU. Literal lol, lmao even.
Is this even remotely true? The same was said about Ukrainians, Russian and other migrants.
As a sub question, I’ve been wanting to read something regarding migrants to combat such narratives, I found Reece Jones’s Violent Boarders, is this a good start?
Assimilate and values lol. Don’t forget “Speak our language”! I fucking whish it were true. How can it be, that for 10 generations people still speak fucked up German, but not proper standardised German. I can’t understand those fuckers mumbling in their weird dialect, they don’t show proper respect and try to speak in an way you cant understand. If you ask again, they get angry “Dasisch Deitsch wasisch spreich”. They get louder! Do they think that by getting louder, I can understand it!? In the contrary I visit a Asian shop in the city. Dude doesn’t speak German at all, but tries to give me tips how to use glutamate and with little effort I understood everything. Nice and friendly man. But don’t you dare to visit a some village in Hesse. Same fuckers are then crying, because you can’t understand the talk of two afghany (don’t know the adjective) persons. Saxon dialects sound funny, but Hesse makes me every time so fucking angry. Assimilate yourself, before you dare to talk about assimilation you freaking Hessians. Speaking ununderstandble and drinking apple wine gor hundred of years is not culture.
Idk, this off-top rant just happened. However. The story about China using immigration for something is not believable. The actual reactionary point is, that immigration is seen as a problem itself. Using immigration as a political tool to create pressure reminds me Belarus and Türkiye. One of them used buses and so on. Not to help people, but to pressure the EU. But idk how China is also using immigration as a political tool to pressure the EU or USA.
