In Germany millions are protesting against our fascist party AfD, after they unveiled their mass deportation plans.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

I know. It's good.

Look great.

Now I am expeting the same millions of people protesting the things that let afd to grow.

Remember, afd is a consequence not a cause.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but destroying the consequence is sometimes needed to eliminate the cause.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Only if you just want to hide the causes in the short term.

But let's assume that you destroy afd, do you really think that all the people that vote for them will change their mind while having the same problems ? You basically only said to them to shut up, do you really think it will work well ? Maybe for the next electoral deadline, but then ?

Whatever are the causes, if you just remove the consequences you don't solve the problem.

Let's assume that afd grow only becasue Russian money and disinformation (which I personlly don't belive like I don't belive that Fratelli d'Italia won because suddently 30% if the italian population is fascist), do you really think that destroying afd will stop the flow of money and disinformation ? They simply will choose (or build) another group to give the money to making better choices.

And you will end up in a situation where the far right group will be able to paint you as the bad guy because you oppose things that basically will be the same things afd is proposing now but with a much nicer dress so that they look acceptable.
