Elon Musk Rant :D

Elon Musk, someone given a disgusting excess of political power by President Trump, somehow felt it appropriate that he give the Nazi Salute not once, but twice at Trump’s inauguration. The absolute disrespect, disgust, shock, and rage I felt at that moment as a German American was unlike any other. My great grandfather was dragged out of the house by the Stasi in the middle of the night, away from his family, his wife, my grandfather and his siblings, only to be returned scarred, quiet, empty eyed, days later. After that, Opa’s household was completely apolitical, silent, for fear that their house was bugged. Nazis erased the Sorbian culture from my family and most of Germany, keeping me and the rest of the world from knowing them. I snatch and grab for my cultural identity, and yet my aching hands still end up with empty palms; of course, I am American, and I am East German and Sorbian.. but Sorbians are as good as gone. Sie sind fast komplett verschwunden. Obwohl es Bemühungen gibt, die Kultur und die Sprache zu retten, wird es nie so sein, wie es mal war. Dieser Teil der Geschichte ist schon in Flammen aufgegangen und alles, was übrig bleibt, ist die Glut, worauf wir pusten, um zu versuchen, ein Feuer daraus zu entlocken.
