    I seriously wonder what drives these lunatics.

        Also the subconcious knowledge that they are where they are because their ancestors exploited other humans and the only way to not feel guilty about that is by continuing to see those other humans as “lesser” than them so it was okay what there ancestors did so it’s also fine if they are doing it

        because once you accept that your country is as wealthy as it is because of exploitation you have to decide if you are going to keep your lifestyle and continue that exploitation or if you are realizing that something like that is unacceptable and that that means that you likely have to cut down your lifestyle a bit

        conservatives are all about “nothing should change” but that fundamentally means continuing the exploitation and if you are aware of that and want to stay conservative then the road to racism is very short

      It’s the tradition silly. They just want the good old days. They’re just conservatives.

      Why were there only 22 nazis on trial in Nuremberg? Because the dock could only fit 22 people. How did the denazification go? Of the 1.3million nazis to be prosecuted it was only a fraction of a fraction. Germany now is not what it used to be then, but there are ‘conservatives’ among the good German people.

        I’m an immigrant in Germany. I’m fair skinned, tall, and I speak German pretty well. The number of times I’ve been told that I’m not an immigrant is insane. “Immigrants” include people with Turkish names whose families have lived in Germany for four generations, but not me, who doesn’t even have permanent residency yet.

          This reminds me of North Americans of Italian descent who join white supremacist groups when just a few decades ago they were seen as “non-white” by those same groups. Useful idiots.

          At least you know where you stand and why they attempt to exclude you from the outgroup.

    Good for Germany. I think they could teach us a thing or two about how to solve our own problems with far right groups.

      But not a single thing more than one or two.

      Because the group was founded and led by a Nazi in 1951 who believed in the exact same thing as the Nazi party but wasn’t a member, therefore avoiding pretty much any and all consequences.

        I don’t think it was possible to be an SS member and not also be member of the NSDAP. Be that as it, may, same difference anyways.

          Here’s a snippet from a book I randomly happen to own a PDF copy of about him:

          Rough translation:

          Unharmed, the Nordic Faith Community of Wilhelm Kusserow survived the denazification because he wasn’t a member of the Nazi party. Additionally, he managed to be perceived as a victim by authorities, thereby avoiding post-war reeducation in interment camps. Afterwards he founded the Artgemeinschaft e.V. [rest of name] which adopted almost the same creed as the former Nordic Faith Community.

    Maybe they should ban far-left organizations indoctrinating children with marxist ideology as well? It’s not like communism killed millions or something…
