    When the people who invented Nazis are pissed about your Nazis, you’ve got a problem with Nazis.

      Now we need to do the AfD next, bevor we have the next Nazis on our hands. And their populist propaganda is seeping in steadily, fueled by massive and endless hate campaigns from the BILD boulevard piece.

      They are polling really really high in many states, top in some even, despite having absolutely no plans or desires to do any politics. All they can do is rage and yell about immigrants, current politicians, taxes, joblessness, the EU, laws, Ukraine, everything. And they also successfully did this thing where they are selling their idea that they are “for the people” and “the will of the people”, yet the elected politicians they do have have consistently (and I mean it, not a single exeption) voted in favor of taxing the working class and making it easier for the ultra-rich. Surprise, surprise.

        The same is happening in Sweden with the neo Nazi Sweden Democrats (disclaimer: they prefer being called “social conservatives” while simultaneously calling for the “deportation of asocial foreigners”). The only difference is, these ones have a plan, a really shitty one, and now by forming a bloc and becoming part of the government without any posts, they are effectively trying to apply each one of their weird proposals even though a number of them may require that they leave the EU. They think UK is doing a good job with immigration…

        Whenever any nation wants to leave the EU, I immediately suspect they are up to a human rights violation.

          Lol, the UK are doing worse with immigration than before Brexit.

          Some people really use any lies to make people support their outrageous claims like leaving the EU.

          I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia was helping behind the scenes with it, they want the EU to fail so they can conquer even more territories.

            Russia know they can’t fight NATO. So they make like-minded autocratic friends like Erdogan, Orban, Trump & try to soften NATO members’ stance towards Russia. The hope is that some, if not all the major NATO member countries will self-radicalise & see nothing wrong with what Russia or China does. Clever & obviously working.

            It’s difficult to ban that kind of thing anyway. Ideas are hard to squash, especially ones born of a mix of ignorance and frustration.

              They dont convince people of their Ideas though. All they do is ragebait populism. Their actual Ideas are just shitty fiscal conservativism with some vaguely racist and homophobic social policy. They are not selling the product they are convincing people to buy.

          Eeeeeh… wow. Okay, and you jump straight to euthanize. I’m going to put you into the “part of the problem” box, I think.

              The issue is who decides what kind of behaviour deserves that kind of treatment.

              It inevitably ends up harming the wrong people in the end.

              I can understand the sentiment though.

          You should recognize that from their point of view what you said is pretty much what they think they’re saying. Squashing bad ideas isn’t worth turning yourself into a ghoul as well. Even people with bad ideas deserve love and compassion.

        I don’t know about that, German Nazis actually had teeth.

        Most Nazis you see in the U.S. are poor white trash with meth mouth.

        The main worry is how much damage they do before they’re purged.

          Most of the original nazis were poor white trash with whatever the cultural equivalent of meth mouth was at the time. Socioeconomic factors were a major motivation for WWII. When you’re poor, you must be hypervigilant against the allure of fascism. Progress always has a human cost, but we can’t recklessly commit to destruction in the name of token or thoughtless self enrichment.

          EDIT: Meth Moth sounds like a Venture Bros villain. He’s got no teeth, but he has the frantic energy of ten villains!
