My hope: this times will never ever come back.
As a member of a democratic society of Germany, I see it as my duty to go to elections and do what ever can be done legally to minimize the possibilities of right wing coming into power.
I have to accept that others may have different views on this topic. That includes others voting for right wing parties.
But, no one will ever stop me from speaking up! From openly exercising criticism. From going to demonstrations.
I'm against all war. I'm against killing people because they are different or have something I don't like. I'm again patriotism. All sorts of patriotism should be punished in my eyes - because it's the beginning of every worse! Nazis are uber-patriots. Party "alternative for Germany" is full of patriotic thinking. Each other parties, that support patriotism are right wing.
On the left side, it's not the patriotism which is a problem, but rather the thinking that communism and forced "sharing of wealth" are THE ONLY way to go. It's very extreme, too.
So, I will fight the extremes without weapons, but with my spoken words as my deadliest weapon.
No More!
update: The truth hurts. You can't support violence and not get called out for it.
Presumably you'd not be in favor of censoring somebody merely for disagreeing with you on a political topic.
But what if those political views and stated goal was to remove your right to vote in democracy? Obviously you'd speak up against that view with your own voice, but what if that's not enough? Do you just cross your fingers and hope they don't get enough traction?
What if escalates even more, what if they actively want to impose the death penalty on you, and have the state execute you? Would you actively fight against censorship of the people whoms stated goal is to have you dead? Would you call people evil fascists if they wanted to censor those who want actively want them dead?
For a lot of people, these aren't hypothetical. It actually has happened before in history 77 years ago in Nazi Germany, and it's hopelessly naive to think that it's just impossible for something similar to ever happen again. There is a sizable part of the world who thinks that gay people deserve the death penalty for being gay, right now, today.
