Summary
Germany’s domestic intelligence agency declared the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party a “proven right-wing extremist organization,” citing Holocaust trivialization, Nazi slogans, and anti-immigrant rhetoric.
This marks the first time a federally represented party has been labeled extremist.
U.S. Republicans, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Vice President J.D. Vance, condemned the move. Rubio called it “tyranny in disguise” and praised the AfD’s popularity, while Elon Musk said banning the “centrist AfD” would be “an extreme attack on democracy.”
The AfD recently won 152 seats and over 20% of the vote.
aslo he’s demonstrating 0 understanding of what “centrist” means
No, he’s trying to normalize them by denying their extremism.
i know
He obviously knows. It’s on purpose.
i know. the truth is whatever we make it, and he’s trying to make us make it stupid
Or what “most popular” means
AfD wants genocide while still wanting to appear respectable. That’s centrism, at least in the US.
oof but also true apparently
Orange Chamberlain, LA-Z-Boy Vance and Golden Handcuffs Rubio honestly believe they are well adjusted moral individuals and it would never cross their mind for a second that hanging around Dictators or praising self identified Nazis while deporting people to foreign prisons might not be a super Jesus thing to do.
Well, from Hitler’s point of view, Hitler was in the centre of everything. Musk sees it like that.
Are they really doing a “heil Hitler” greeting over the children in the poster?
They really don’t care to hide anymore…
Well, at least it should be easier to know, who deserves to eat a fist
Their slogan for the election was “Alice für Deutschland”, meaning Alice for Germany with Alice being Alice Weidel, the party co-chairman and chancellor candidate. Seems like a predictable sounding nationalist slogan that also aligns well with their party name, until you realise it’s actually a serendipitous pun on the Nazi slogan “alles für Deutschland”, a phrase which is banned in Germany. The pronunciation of the two phrases in German is virtually identical. There’s dog whistles, and then there’s foghorns.
