The Alternative for Germany (AfD) has gained ground in three recent state elections, caused an uproar in the Thuringian parliament and triggering another debate on whether to ban the party outright.

    Nearly everything you said is just plain wrong:

    • The NPD never got banned (supposedly because the party was “insignificant”).
    • They renamed themselves “Die Heimat”.
    • If banned, a follow up party from the AfD would be automatically banned too.
    • You make it sound like 30% of Germans vote AfD, while they get that many votes mainly in the eastern states.
    • You talk about democracy and call Nazis “political opponents”. I got news for you: Those fascist scums’ only goal is to get rid of democracy, sell Europe to Russia and maybe start a third world war.

    So keep on talking as much as you like, everyone with half a brain can see right through you.

      ah, ok, tell me please, what exactly do you see right through? I wanna know. For research purposes. (And to report it to the headquarters, so we could improve our sabotage operation).

        I guess he was just polite, assuming someone making all those false claims would at least do it with some purpose.

          Oh yeah, that last implication certainly is full of polite implying. I’m honored.

          You know what I see? Someone who’s afraid that their world order will change. And their solution is “lock them up while we’re in the majority”.

          You know what I also see? A failed German re-unification, extreme arrogance of the west Germans towards east Germans, a bouquet of additional socio-economical problems that have been ignored for decades. And a consequent voters’ revolt.

          And their solution? Tell all those angry people that they’re nazi and their problems will continue being ignored. I’m sure that will solve it.

          The party in question, AfD, is fuckin scary. They, in fact, are openly nazi. And, yet, I promise you, banning them and continuing to ignore the underlying issues will only make things worse.
