I know in former centuries people from Germany moved out to Russia, that's what they call "Russlanddeutsche" today. But I fear I may be lacking the knowledge how much, the extent of it.
After the fall of the Soviet Union, I know, many came here and West Germany (I better call it so because it's true) was pretty welcoming in taking them in. Even though those people haven't been German anymore since a hundred years or so.
It's what is called "West Germany's way of making politics", using the card of ethnicity to lure people away out of foreign states and get them out of the sphere of influence of theirs. That is what also makes some of the smarter people say "West Germany isn't that far off from the Third Reich as they like to present themselves", and I even need to admit, looking at such things, it's true. One can also see that when you really know something about how they treated the annexed East Germany after the shutdown of the GDR.

I don't know if I guess right, but I think it's not that far off when somebody says to me "I think Nietzsche's works could interest you" - because I don't paint the world in bright colors like most people do - and if somebody might say to me "you quoted that from Marx, didn't you?", I think it maybe would be hard getting him to believe "no, I didn't quote that", because maybe some shit that I voice you already heard there.
Even though it also would be hard telling "I'm a convinced communist, that's why I say this", it wouldn't be true. I think what I think because I come to it myself and think it's right - and after that maybe exists a title for that kind of mindset.
It's only funny hearing it being called "left" because some people once in a while also try to tell me I'm from the far-right side. Which I think is ridiculous just only because you don't talk like West German / American mainstream "left".
But maybe it's to blame on the grounds that made me get to politics and never leave it again... It's a different story if you come to politics that hardly if you are frustrated by parties or by the acting of the SPD, or if you come from grounds that have to do with politics, but which don't think in political parties, which think just in ideologies and mindsets.

The male-female issue is not one of my primaries, but what should I do? Always keep writing about the same topics? That's pretty boring. Also, there are many grounds to kick mankind on for things they miss.
