Man, the size of brains of people calling someone racist just because they vote right, completely unaware of their own contribution in this matter. Guess, anyone who doesn't vote right is antifa

[–] [email protected] 2 points 34 minutes ago

Exactly. Just because they say the same stuff, want the same changes and behave the same way as racists, doesnt mean theyre racists!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

I was told by a German person on this very site that they'd never go right wing again because of a unique type of centrism in the country that's hugely popular and that my tiny American brain couldn't comprehend. Oh well, guess that's just another common centrist L.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 58 minutes ago

Third time’s a charm!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 49 minutes ago

to be fair, this is the image the center parties have and upkeep. I, as a farly left person, already question if this seperation to right extremism will still be upheld in 4 years. Our Center-right partie CDU falls more and more for populist rethoric, which reminds me of the republicans or the toris.

So what you have been told is not wrong per se. But there is a significant amount of people in the country and politicans in the parlaiment, that argue the seperation between right exremism and center parties did already collaps behind the scenes.

There are more fucking neo-Nazis in the USA than in Germany. The shit AfD voters come from the Oklahoma and Mississippi of Germany, Thuringia and Saxony.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 minutes ago

Definitely not true. It sounds like you are German and if so it is pretty sad how little you keep up with your own election even though it happened just a few days ago. There are more AfD voters in eastern Germany but most Bundesländer have >18% AfD votes.
People tend to forget that Hitlers NSDAP only needed 18% in 1930 and a rigged election in 1933 to completely take over the country.
Coping doesnt get us anywhere. Its not always "the others" that vote far-right. Its the whole country, the educated just as well as the uneducated, the poor and the rich. Almost everyone has family members or friends that vote far-right and we need to talk to them, try to understand their motives and make them understand that AfD wants to make everything they fear 10 times worse.

The shit AfD voters come from the Oklahoma and Mississippi of Germany, Thuringia and Saxony.

That's only kinda true. The east has way more Nazis, but just because the AfD is stronger there with 32% of the votes, doesn't change the fact that 18% of West German voters voted for them too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Both countries are full of neo nazi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

Is that per capita?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 hours ago

Fascism is really good for the rich to get richer

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Once upon a time, I told a German that if their country goes fascist, we won't spare them a second time. That was wrong and naive of me to say, but not too far off. There won't be a rebuilding if that happens.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 minutes ago

Oh Im pretty sure we will be spared by the country that went full fascist just a few weeks ago. Thats definitely not the part Im worried about.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Only problem is that the entire worlds governments are going fascist. There won't be anyone with enough power to fight them.

[–] [email protected] 61 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

"At least we're not as racist as the US!"

"...yet."

[–] [email protected] 12 points 17 hours ago

But we are working on yourself to catch up with the US.

[–] [email protected] 89 points 19 hours ago (4 children)

Sadly true. Fuck the CDU and AfD. Nazi helpers and Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Did they make a coalition with the new nazi party?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 minutes ago

Not yet, we will see in a few weeks

[–] [email protected] 22 points 19 hours ago (6 children)

SPD and Grüne are helping the rise of fascism too even if it's not on purpose. Die Linke are the only ones in parliament actually working against it.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Wanting to leave NATO, withholding weapons from Ukraine and talking to Putin isn't exactly "working against" fascism. That's very much the Neville Chamberlain approach ... but even he came to his sense after the full scale invasion started. Can't say the same for die Linke.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That’s very much the Neville Chamberlain approach …

That's such revisionist history. Chamberlain wasn't appeasing Germany, he was aligning with Germany against Communist Russia.

He wasn't surrendering, he was allying with fascism.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

Source?

That seems even more revisionist. If anything I'd have expected it from Winston "I believe in Aryan race science" Churchill.

Chamberlain was buying time for rearmament. It wasn't actually necessary and it was, in fact, pretty fucking stupid because Germany was rearming faster than France and Britain put together, and his betrayal of Czechoslovakia with their fortified border was even more galling in face of it, but the idea wasn't to ally with Germany as far as I've seen anyone claim.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Bold statement. Do you have any examples? I would disagree, but maybe I just don't quite understand what you meant.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

SPD is just standing by not doing anything (except being corrupt), basically silent complicity. The greens are also not clearly positioning themselves against the anti immigrant hatred, but they are still doing much better than the rest imo.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

What should the SPD be doing?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Behave like social democrats, push to fund infrastructure and school upgrades (instead of defunding them), not have a leading candidate that was involved with the biggest tax fraud scheme in recent history, etc

[–] [email protected] 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I nisunderstood, I thought you were calling them to do something about AfD more directly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

The best way to fight fascism is with meaningful policy thay helps the working class. The best way to help it is proving that liberal democracy consists in getting to choose which party gets to enforce austerity this term

The Stasi had it's share of fascist turncoats.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Insignificant compared to west germamy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago

And a lot more hanged Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

AfD has a guy called Helferich... A funny translation would be Helperling... I can imagine his role and his recap when they ruined Germany and Europe again.

Sorry - is the Reese’s mug a reference to something I should know about?

[–] [email protected] 42 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Former FCC chairman and piece of shit, Ajit Pai used to have a cartoonishly large Reese's mug. Could be an old picture and all of the text has been changed.

Are we subscribed to the same sub. Dach talks about literally nothing else but politics right now so don't tell me ich_iel only having like 1/3rd political posts today is some kind of smoking gun.
