Revelations that members of Germany’s far-right AfD discussed mass deportation plans have pushed tens of thousands of people to protest and sparked debate on whether the anti-immigrant party should be banned.
From Cologne to Leipzig to Nuremberg, Germans across the country have poured into the streets over the last week, with another 100 demonstrations expected through the weekend.
Many of the demonstrations have been held under the banner “together against the far-right”, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock also joining a spontaneous gathering in Potsdam, where they live.
That’s the wrong way if doing this. We need to pull out the rag of under those, that vote for him and his shitty stuff, we also have to pressure the media to do better and present more facts instead of opinions…and so on. Back to the roots, basically
The voters don’t care about facts. That’s the problem. We need to dismantle that party while we still have democratic (read: sane) people in charge, because arguing with someone who thinks COVID was a hoax to suppress the people or that the government has a secret agenda to replace the German population with muslims is futile.
Dismantling the party wont change a thing. In fact, it make things worse, because it alienates and radicalizes those people even more.
Tell me, what comes after “Let’s deport all non-Germans”?
“Let’s all gas/exterminate them”?
It only does that to a minority of them, not the majority of the group.
I’m not so sure about that.
