  1. We visited Halle once in the 90s shortly after reunification and were immediately told by a local that after dark we should keep away from the city center. It was the place for the local Nazis to get together. We are Germans but not ethnically, and this was decades before the refugee crisis. I think the root problem here is the very idea of the nation-state itself. National borders, national armies, national parliaments, national flag, national football teams, natonal anthems, national pride... Being constantly surrounded by this nationalist rhetoric (propaganda), how can you blame anyone for turning into an ardent nationalist? It doesn't really shock me to see how democracies are always a stone's throw away from turning into fascism because they both depend on the exact same nationalistic underpinnings. Also eloquently expressed in the phrase "America First" which isnt far away from the infamous "Deutschland Deutschland über alles".
