Makes me wonder where this guy came from. Is he just some German neo-nazi type or is he a Russian that is a hard core Putin supporter? If the latter, why is he allowed in Germany? Though I suppose the question holds if he's the former too.

Foreigners living comfortably in the free west while supporting authoritarian assholes in their countries of origin make my blood boil. The fucking Russian bootlickers are just one side of the coin, the Turks who vote at the fucking airport for erdogan and then come back to live in a nice liberal society are just as bad. That’s an utter farce of an election.

That bullshit makes me resent double citizenships, its neither democratic nor fair, to either society. Make your bed and sleep in it.

I am a foreigner living in Germany and it makes my blood boil too. I feel really sorry for germans that they have to deal with these assholes and if they say something about it, they are called, racists, facists or na*is. I honestly wouldnt be mad if Germany gave more strict laws against foreigners, even if that means I have to leave the country.

In my office there is a russian asshole that is the most racist, misognystic, homophobic asshole that I have ever met in my life. He is pro russia and does everything he can to support Russia and damage Germany. Like he will leave lights on or equipment on during the whole night, just to consume electricity and gas.

Turkish people telling Turks how Turkey is such a good country and that we should be grateful.... while living in Berlin 😐

Probably a Russian. Too many are living in Germany while worshipping Russian nationalism.

German neo Nazis wouldn't bother learning Russian. They'd think the kids were speaking Russian in the first place.

Exactly what I was going to say. If it's anything like in Poland, a typical neo-natzi is either:

a politician doing it to find their niche
a paid actor that somehow despite promoting nationalism says that we should stop supporting Ukraine, it's full of bad Nazis, and shouldn't be a country
a complete moron that follows one of the above and can speak three quarters of a language.

1 Doesn't give a fuck. 2 Does it mainly for money. 3 Can't distinguish anything.

Though again, someone could have told the number 3. what to do.

Neo-nazis are Putin supporters, strangely enough. Which makes them traitors in addition to everything else they already are.
