“Fascism, it’s always about using nationalism, and the nation, as a bludgeon to generate support for death policies, on behalf of death governments. For violence and repression and exploitation, internationalism is the antidote, always.” —Robin D. G. Kelley

After living in Germany for about two years now, I can confidently say that I don't believe I can leave the house alone without my husband or at least a family member with me.
