    Elon’s an attention-seeking cretin that will say or do anything to remain relevant. This is equal parts dangerous and desperate

    The AfD are neonazi scum. Musk should be sold per pound to feed the poor in eastern Europe if he’s so fond of the AfD’s fake rhetoric.

    Downvote Musk spam. He will say/do anything to stay in the 24 hour news cycle.

    The billionaire doesn’t need your help ensuring him and his businesses stay in the headlines every day. Don’t be a useful idiot.

    I find it depressing that not wanting migrants to drown, is framed as ‘support for migrants’ and somehow left wing.

    If a suspected rapist was drowning in a pond, I’d expect the police to save them, then jail them. Leaving people to die without any right to a trial or to be heard, is simply sociopathic.

    It’s perfectly possible to have a hardline anti-migration policy, which doesn’t involve allowing thousands of people to drown.

      3 billionaires and young adult vs 300 migrants. The world was mad at us for not caring about 4 billionaires, not themselves for not caring about 300 migrants.

    fun fact: this far right extremist party is also the second strongest party in germany, with the strongest being very closely aligned to their values!

      That’s not very accurate, the current chancellor and Germany in general are very left-leaning outside the very catholic regions.

        the german government right now is a horrible neoliberal mess trying to greenwash their actions

        they are not left at all

        if they were, we wouldn’t need Last Generation blocking roads.

        The chancellor’s party is center-left in the typical European social democrat way, he himself is more of a moderate. But the current coalition polls at around 40%, so calling Germany very left-leaning is a very optimistic statement.

            According to current polls, more than 20% are willing to vote for an openly xenophobic, extreme right party of nazi-sympathizers, science deniers and reactionaries. They want to deny basic rights of queers and people with disabilities and call for ceasing to support Ukraine and dropping Russian sanctions. The currently strongest polling party, the center-right CDU, had for a long time been fundamentally opposed to working with the far right, but are now getting more cosy with them, seemingly testing the waters on local and state levels.

            So yeah, unless that somehow sounds like a good direction for Germany to move in, “left-leaning” would unfortunately be an optimistic misjudgement of the current state of affairs.

              2/3rd of those 20% are protest votes, and a full 10% want the party banned. Things are a wee bit more complicated than a single number which is basically asking whether Ossis are severely pissed.

                People viewing Nazis as the lesser evil and willing to enable them are only moderately less worse than proper nazis and no less dangerous.

                  Protest votes is not “lesser evil” but “the party/parties I like fucked up and I want to scare them straight”. Yes it’s misguided, yes it’s idiotic, but it would be wrong to dismiss those people as Nazis – they can be brought back quite easily. Also those are polls it would remain to be seen how many actually follow through.

                Protest voters willing to vote far right is not really making things better. I don’t understand how people wanting to ban it are relevant…

                  Its making things better in the “are people merely pissed idiots or are they actual Nazis” sense. It also means that Wagenknecht can siphon off a gigantic amount of those votes with her new Nazbol thing.
