We all belong to one planet.

The parasite class doesn't see or respect borders. Birds don't see countries and states. Ants don't respect county lines.

So why should only We, the lower and middle class, have to recognise and respect these stupid and arbitrary geopolitical lines drawn in the sand... fuck nationalism.

Ants don’t respect county lines

They absolutely do, if ants or other insects try to infiltrate the colony, they are immediately killed to protect the "tribe".
The concept here is territory of the society, and every society has guardrails to protect it. For humans we call that country borders that protect against outside infiltration. It's a basic instinct that maybe some day we can overcome, but your analogy is false, lots of animals have similar instincts. Even some plants friggin have similar mechanisms!

It should happen the opposite, weather the AFD belongs in todays Germany.
