    Well unfortunately the Overton window has shifted so far to the right that inhumane positions have become so normalized that indeed a majority of Germans have become bigoted xenophobes.

      Slightly tangential, but personally I have always found this word “humane” quite revealing. That is, it reveals more about the speaker’s wishfulness - and perhaps therefore their political orientation - than anything else.

      Humans are neither good nor bad. They are both, or neither. They are what they decide to be. These words “humane” and “inhumane” as synonyms of “good” and “bad” are pretty Orwellian.
