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.

      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.
