Are there safe places for people of color in Eastern Germany? Where could one go without getting haressed, hunted, beaten or worse?

I'm looking for a beautiful but safe place in nature. A calm lake, a nice beach, a natural wood, a meadow full of flowers. Just some smile and peace.

I remember 1989

There is a lot going on, way too much for me to process. There are many similarities with the 30s, but I did not live in that period. What I did experience was 1989. At the time, it was pretty clea…

Eastern Germany, a region that relies heavily on coal for power generation, is expected to become Europe’s largest clean energy hub. The plan is to build up to 14 GW of wind and solar energy, 2-3 GWh of battery storage and 2 GW of green hydrogen production. The first phase will involve a 50 MW/500 MWh iron flow battery system by ESS at the Boxberg power plant site. #CleanEnergy #EasternGermany #CoalExit https://electrek.co/2023/06/15/eastern-germany-europes-largest-clean-energy-hub/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

In eastern Germany a right-wing party is on the march. The AfD’s successes sent shock waves through Germany but should not have come as a complete surprise. For months now, the right-wing party has been riding high in opinion polls. #GermanBrief #AfD #EasternGermany #AfDBuergermeister

And the remaining systems in #NorthKorea are either externally subsidized (#China), or have embraced capitalism to finance its extravaganza, causing wide-spread #nepotism and corruption, so that the autocrat #Xi could come to power on a "clean-up-the-swamp" platform.

Without the capitalist #GreenRevolution, modern society...

Exactly as I had thought:

MLC "...stores in which products can be purchased in freely convertible currency (MLC), taking the United States dollar (USD) as a reference in their prices."

That is EXACTLY what did not work in #EasternGermany either in the 1980's, shortly before the Wall (in #Berlin) fell and the economy collapsed...Only that #EastGermans did not lack food, as in #Cuba.
