Cause that’s worked out so well for Britain 🤪
Not only that, if there is one country that is most essential to the EU and where the EU is most essential to its success, it’s got to be Germany. The whole idea of Gexit makes no sense and is entirely carried by fee-fees.
Not only that but as a nation focussed on exports it makes even less sense to cut off trade than as one relying on imports.
These people are racist assholes and their plans are as dumb as they are.
Only if you assume the plan is meant to benefit the country. If you assume that they want to profit from the suffering it makes more sense. Irrational, cult-like mindsets are easier to peddle when people are miserable.
I think they are definitely malicious, but I don’t think they are capable of such cunning planning. They yearn for the Germany of the 50s and 60s and that means, among other things, no EU.
They yearn for the Germany of '33 to '45…
This is bad on so many levels.
“The worse Germany gets, the better it is for the AfD”
– quote by AfD spokesperson Christian Lüth
Yeah, saw off the branch we’re sitting on. What a bright idea.
How convenient…for Putin and others who want to divide Europe to make it easier to claim parts of it.
There’s a KGB strategy from 90s iirc that shows a plan of push to divide the UK from Europe, then the US from Europe, then Germany from Europe, then California from the US. I’ve got it downloaded somewhere
She looks very…German. Blonde hair, stern face. Was she genetically engineered from ‘Aryan’ blood stocks and infused with V?
She’s a walking contradiction. She’s a lesbian, lives together with her partner from Sri Lanka, adopted two sons, employed a Syrian refugee as a cleaning lady…but is a leading figure in a far-right party that is against all of those things.
She also lives in Switzerland, you could call her an economic refugee.
She’s actually swiss though.
Mountain Germans with a weird accent.
Simply not true, historically. Switzerland has long been a cultural and ethnic crossroads between France, Italy, and Germany, which is why their official languages are French, Italian, German, and Romansh (a regional language).
This lie was, however, commonly repeated by the Nazis to try and justify an invasion on nationalist grounds.
leading members had attended a covert meeting at which a “masterplan” for mass deportations of foreigners and German passport holders was discussed, with a view to the party implementing the plans if it came to power.
Weidel called the exposé “scandalous” and said it had misrepresented her party, which only wanted to use the law to repatriate people who had no right to remain in Germany.
What’s the fundamental difference between “mass deportation of foreigners” and “repatriation of people who the AfD denies the right to remain in Germany”?
The AfD and their supporters want to get rid of everyone who “doesn’t fit” into Germany according to their views. Legal status and German citizenship don’t matter to them at all, nor does it matter to them what happens to the deported afterwards. And everyone knows that’s what they mean.
But they can’t openly say it because that’s unconstitutional. So they use vague language about people “who have no right to be in Germany”. That way, their supporters know exactly what type of people they mean, but if an inquiry is started, they can pretend they were only talking about illegal immigrants.
I feel like every time I look back over my shoulder at Germany the AfD has achieved some new level of Mask Off
It’s like the institutional-racism-supporter version of shooting your load before the other one’s even finished getting their pants off, like bro you’re still in an official quarantine by literally all the other parties, like they’re not even considered for grand coalition.
It’s because: 1- their racist shit doesn’t seem to be hurting their polling, and 2- the assumption is the other parties will work with them once election day comes, if they keep their 30%
