    I don’t pretend to know anything about present German politics, but a spineless right-wing org sounds like exactly the kind of thing that would get co-opted by fascists.

    And as an American I’ll advise you to never assume a political group is harmless. Many people thought Trump was harmless until he won the Republican nomination.

      Ah yes, everything is like America, right?

      You guys have a one party system disguised as a two party system.

      Europeans have many parties and a strong tradition of a wide field of political discourse.

        The Washington consensus hasn’t been a thing in more than a decade now. Also the Weimar Republic had a fuckload of parties. Didn’t really help you out the last time…

        It’s wild how the Germans are like, “it can’t happen here!” When it literally did before.
