-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

"Wow, man, that's too fucked up for the fucked up coalition"
They only just said the quiet part out loud.
I must say I've been greatly enjoying AfD's untergang over the past year or so.
Untergang? Yes, they have dropped in percentage points in for now. But they are far from faltering. The EU election is relatively unimportant compared to what's coming: Keep a close eye on the three state elections in Germany later this year.
They may get higher percentages in some federal states, but that doesn’t make those states’ parliaments more important than the EU imho
Even if they held 50% of the German parliamentary seats in the EU parliament, there is only so much power they can wield against everyone else. But if they hold power in the state level, they can directly cause massive harm there. And worst of all they can do so in a way that ensures their continued political power.
Think of it like this: Spreading some Coronavirus outside has potentially a lot of victims, but them getting infected is unlikely. Spreading it inside has fewer victims but a great chance of infecting them, which subsequently turns them infectious too.
I’ll enjoy it when I see it.
Well, if there’s one good thing to say about proud Nazis & their political parties, it’s that they so clearly self-identify so the rest of us can know what pieces of fetid ratshit they really are.
And that takes balls
The only good thing about the far-right is that it's always eventually autophagic.
Good news. Krah is a despicable opportunist with no principles other than his thirst for status and power.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The far-right German party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) has been expelled from its pan-European parliamentary group after a string of recent controversies over its policy choices and the conduct of some of its leaders.
The day before, AfD’s lead candidate in June’s European elections resigned from the party leadership and renounced all further campaign activities following criticism of comments he made last weekend that the Nazi SS were “not all criminals”.
Krah’s comments to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica prompted France’s far-right National Rally (RN), a key member of ID along with AfD since 2019, to say this week it would no longer sit in the same group as the German party after the elections.
Marine Le Pen, RN’s leader, who has spent years trying to normalise her party to appeal to mainstream voters, announced on Wednesday that it needed to make a “clean break”, accusing AfD of being held hostage by its most radical elements.
However, the more normalised national-conservative ECR group, which includes Giorgia Meloni’s Brothers of Italy, Poland’s Law & Justice (PiS), Spain’s Vox, the Finns and Sweden Democrats, may be wary of welcoming many former ID members.
The party faced mass street protests earlier this year after senior figures attended a meeting where the deportation of Germans with immigrant backgrounds was discussed, and over allegations that it harbours agents for Russia and China.
