“No Zionists” sign would have been more of a problem for Germany
described himself as ‘a little to the left, a little to the right – but not radical’
Why do all of the worst people describe themselves as centrists? Is it because they’re rightly ashamed of how far right they are?
The article seems to describe him as a victim of German propaganda. German propaganda keeps claiming all jews are zionists and zionism is Judaism. In the article he says he’s fine with jews who oppose zionism.
‘a little to the left, a little to the right – but not radical’
Andrew Yang is at it again folks
yeah the far-right understand they can’t openly be nazis so they claim to be moderates, but this guy seems like he’s just confused about everything
I think it’s less purposeful. I think people like this actually think they have “average” and “moderate” views.
Yeah, I think this is it. People in the west are taught that “extremism” is always bad, so people like this with views far outside the norm are afraid to think of themselves as “extremists” instead insisting that everyone else “secretly” agrees with them. Of course, based on what I know is happening in Germany right now, this may not be all that far off in this instance.
Radical centrism is the politics of the day
i thought you got arrested for this type of thing in germany?
Explicit antisemitism of this style is illegal and people have been arrested for this sort of thing. I think police are still investigating or something, which is pretty silly with how blatant it is.
There are towns in Germany where gangs openly goosestep around Nazi saluting.
Laws only apply to libs.
When there’s no immediate danger to public safety, this person would have just been ID’d by the police, they’ll have taken a foto of the sign and handed it over to the state attorney. The state sues and the court sets a trial date.
The message of all the western governments has landed. They have to act surprised.
Round TwoNazi shit in Germany? Since when has that ever happened??
So his ass got carted off to solitary confinement. Right? RIGHT?
Germany should not be allowed unification. East and West wasn’t enough, we need HRE numbers
Even the way the first unification happened was kinda ass. You basically had Prussia, which was essentially a military junta (that was already occupying vast swathes of Polish land) acting as a regional power that then decided it was their right to gobble up all the smaller Germanic states under the pretext of national unity and pride (except Austria, because they hated the Austrians and wanted them as a buffer against Russia and the Ottoman Empire).
The resulting German Empire they created was really just a larger Prussian Empire where the Prussian aristocracy ruled over all the other German states that had no say in domestic or foreign policy.
This inevitably resulted in the “German” Empire warring and undermining all their neighbours (like Prussia used to), engaging in aggressive imperialism and colonialism abroad (leading to the worst atrocities seen in the colonial era) and eventually, World War 1.
Even after the Kaiser was overthrown and the Weimar Republic was established, it was a well known fact that real power still lay in the old Prussian aristocracy that was backed by the German military (which was also full of Prussian nobles still) which in turn controlled the Reichstag and prevented progressive politicians or any working class movements from making any changes to the system.
This swath of contradictions is what inevitably gave rise to the Nazis, and the rest is history.
How reunification was handled was utterly criminal. If the world was just, the FRG would never have existed in the first place, or failing that, reunification would have been in the hands of the GDR instead.
Whole world would be better off if the Eastern Bloc won the Cold War.
First as tragedy…
