During the last few days I noticed a few people demanding that every Ukrainian refugee in Germany who is of able bodied age should be forced back to Ukraine to either fight on the front or work in ammunition factories or hospitals. As far as I can tell no major publication or politician has echoed this sentiment yet. I hope that will stay this way. But the sheer audacity with which these people demanded strangers to be sent to their death is astounding. "Fighting to the last Ukrainian" really is something they want and it sickens me.

    I mean, it is going down. You can see it by the rising numbers for the AfD. While people will likely never outright go "this is a waste of time, let's ditch Ukraine to save ourselves" there's a lot of people going for the party they think will give them just that - and it happens to be the far-right - who have no qualms about supporting Russia over questions of morality and aren't constantly infighting.

    The whole War in Ukraine really was the nightmare scenario for the left. sadness
