We in north-western Europe, especially in Germany, live in rich
countries growing older, with lesser and lesser numbers of young
working people paying into our pension funds. But those post-factual,
belly-driven right wing nuts really believe that a shrinking and aging
population could maintain its living standards without
immigration. I’d only wish that all those xenophobes had to spend a
week in a hospital being taken care for only by staff of their own
nationality. They might starve or literally drown in their own s**t.

December 18th is International Migration Day, and as all over Europe
there are ongoing discussions about refugees as the currently most
visible (and always most vulnerable) group of migrants, I decided to
add a subtle gallery on that topic to my website. Perhaps you want to
have a look at the images first. Just click on the teaser photograph
above.

In case you wonder about this sermon of mine: After the T***p election
I had stated that everybody has to become more political and clearly
articulate his opinion. Otherwise those who exchange loudness for
facts will always win.

Now, the question is, how do those Advertisement Trees relate to the
topic of migration?
Every businessman tries to improve his
business, and investments in advertisements usually pay off quickly by
attracting new customers. But when salaries are low, the political
situation is volatile, the currency is lacking stability, corruption
is everywhere, government is violent, democracy is just pretended,
cash is scarce and even fuel can become a rare ressource overnight,
how much can you safely invest in advertising? Your income is barely
sufficient today, and tomorrow the situation might be completely
different, so investing more than a minimum would probably be
foolish.
That way, these minimalistic advertisements hint to a
facet of the African tragedy.
