We live in between two medium-sized cities, here in Northern Germany, in a village of about 1,200 people. It’s a farming village with dairy farms that are still operating on Main Street directly in the middle of town. It is about a 30-minute drive to either city.
I prefer to avoid large crowds at all cost and the same goes for the city. I don’t like traffic and I certainly don’t like all the strangers walking around on the streets.
Flensburg, the City I am in today, is a Harbor City and was one of the only German cities that was preserved through WWII. It was also the last headquarters of the German army after Hitler died. The historical aspect of the city is very interesting and there are some really neat old buildings.
Flensburg has received its fair share of refugees, as any German city, and it has already taken its toll. When I first started visiting Germany it was right before the mass immigration and this was certainly a different place. It was clean, there were lots of young people out and about , and just an overall European feel to it.
It seems that the influx of refugees has come at the same time the German government has decided to go full throttle globalism and greed by destroying forests and farmland to build cookie cutter subdivisions in order for wealthy inhabitants of the city to escape and also by focusing on a consumer based society. Funny huh.
Now they have begun demolishing old buildings to construct big box stores and housing for the increased population. I can’t imagine the effects of the tax burden on a smaller city like this, but I guess this is their answer.
Murder and rape are also becoming normal headlines in the news for a city of over 85,000, that before the “crisis” hadn’t seen a murder in nearly 30 years. Sadly, most of the victims are young women. The newspapers blame the locals for not allowing for easy integration, even though Arabic is in the schools, Muslim holidays are observed, and the average refugee family receives 4,000€ a month.
If you do the math roughly 40% of Germans are paying taxes and of that 40%, about 20% receive their income through taxpayer dollars. Germany has the second highest tax burden in the world source. This is not a sustainable system and no matter how valiant the cause to help refugees (who have been known to fly home on holidays and are paid for children they might not even have in their homeland) it is doomed to fail. Perhaps this is the reason Germany is so happy to bring in unskilled workers (refugees) to work meaningless jobs that may result in some sort of tax revenue, which is unlikely since poor people pay little to no taxes here.
In Europe in general, it is irresponsible to have lots of children because of the tax burden and it is supposedly irresponsible in today's world of climate change... However, Europeans happily welcome those from other lands with many many children because Europe needs more children to support the Social welfare system. 🧐 That just doesn't add up to me. Are they building a modern slave trade? I don't know what they are trying to do.
I have an invested interest in Germany, and all of Europe for that matter, and I really hope that she can overcome this new crisis as she has many times in the past. Like all parents, I fear for my children’s future and wish for them to enjoy the freedom to speak what they believe, believe what they want, and be who they want to be.
Make way for progress!
