    Just for the record I reported this for being misinformation. The AFD is a party full of Nazis, an example: https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/may/14/german-court-fines-afd-bjorn-hocke-using-banned-nazi-phrase

    It was also ruled by a German court that it is legal to call that same convicted guy a nazi. This is the same party who held a conference in Potsdam close to Wannsee to deport people deemed not „German“ enough to Africa. Maybe the location and topic ring a bell to those familiar with Nazi history.

    For those who are not: The Wannsee-Konferenz during the nazi time was considered the beginning of the holocaust where the Nazis discussed the „final solution of the Jew-question“. Members of AFD, CDU and other small movements, as well as some wealthy private persons have met at a similar place to discuss a similar topic very recently.

    There’s nothing to argue about here and looking at the post history of this user they seem to be spreading nazi apologist content.

      At the campaign event in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in May 2021, Mr Höcke ended a speech by saying: “Everything for our homeland, everything for Saxony-Anhalt, everything for Germany!”

      Prosecutors say he knew the phrase was banned for being associated with the Nazi Sturmabteilung (SA). But he said it was a “common saying” which should not be criminalised.

      From your own article btw. You think that is a statement that merits being called Nazi? It is really odd the state of political extremes. Like I can get behind banning actual policies that limits freedoms, but this is just, for the lack of better term, retarded. Report as misinformation as you will, I don’t care, I’ve been calling since 2014 about the rise of anti-migrant sentiments due to the lack of policies that enforces integrations and lead to religious extremism and societal distrust, and r/Europe redditors always piled on my opinions being “extreme”. Fast forward 10 years, Brexit was on, Trump is preparing a come back, and EU is facing a right wing revival. The funny thing is, I’m not even a “right wing” supporter, but at least some of their policies align with my expectation of common sense, I’m a migrant myself, who’s tired of the lack of policies from the EU to enforce the safety and security for its citizens and residents.

        Their top candidate for the upcoming EU elections said, that the SS wasn’t that bad and there were decent people in it. One of their members of parliament shares memes showing wehrmachts soldiers at a machine gun with the caption “the fastest German asylum process can handle 1400 requests per minute” A party official who speaks of disposing members of parliament with Turkish origin Above mentioned Höcke, who calls the memorial for Jewish victims in Berlin a mark of shame for Germany

        Who to call Nazi if not people who glorify Nazis and speak like Nazis? You are making a fool of yourself if you defend these people

        Yeah I’d like to revisit my statement. He’s a nazi and you are one too. If it walks like a duck, …
