The far-right Alternative for Germany party has become increasingly influenced by extremist conspiracy theorists, according to the head of German domestic intelligence.
Taken over? They ARE and always have been a far right extremist organization.
True. When Bernd Lucke left the party in 2015 the reasons he stated for doing so were the islamophobic and racist ideology..
That was only two years after the party was founded. I believe him having different intentions for the party, but their members must’ve always been full of far-right extremists.
And Luckes new found irrelevant party is also not exactly hesitant on these issues. Their are also fiercly against abortion, LGBT rights, islamophobic and against migration, all with strong neoliberalism.
So it is like a red-pill incel telling someone he is going too far with sexism.
Funny thing is that the AFD has been labeled as a “suspected” extremist group by our intelligence service and are still allowed to be active… Sometimes I don’t understand how my own country works…
We even allow the NPD (or “Heimat“ now).
Tbf they only avoided banning due to them being irrelevant and the judged agreed that banning them would likely give them more popularity.
Not as an extremist group, but as a suspected extremist group, that’s a difference. Therefore they also can’t use surveillance measures against them yet.
The headline reminds me of this:
got the image wrong…too early…will strike through thenteyt as soon as I’m at my laptop!
Germany is not runned by Nazis nor are we supporting this change in our country! We are and we will actively fight this change, I can you promise that…Du hast meinen Kommentar völlig falsch verstanden. Das Bild karikiert wie offensichtlich der Zusammenhang ist.
In other news, water is wet.
“Wait, it’s all nazis?” 👨🚀 🔫 👨🚀 “Always has been…”
