They are not saying DEATH TO YOUR FRIEND. They are saying DEATH TO PFANNKUCHEN.

How much more specific do you want them to be?

Again, why would you let them get strong? Just so they kill you and your family? You don’t seem to care about yourself nor about your family enough.

In the analogy, if you are financially supporting guy A who is harassing guy B and his family constantly over years, and as a kicker guy A acts like he’s done nothing wrong, it is human nature for guy B to be pissed not only at guy A but also at YOU who financially supports guy A even while you know what he is doing.

If you stop financially supporting guy A and sincerely apologize to guy B, and guy B continues to be pissed at you, THEN you can act like he is unreasonable and take steps to protect yourself, even if those steps hurt guy B.

You can’t pretend guy A is blameless and act confused why guy B is pissed at you, which is what is happening in real life.
