This would be much more concerning if they hadn't so thoroughly stamped out fascism. What's the alternative for Germany?

stamped out fascism

Alternative for Germany (Deutschland)

Fascism was never stamped out. Wall street supported it heavily and now they fully control the us political and military machine. We came full circle. The nazi’s didnt loose the war their ideology infected those with control today. Central banks funded the third reich and those same financial institutions are still empowered and playing a part today. War and genocide / eugenics is a part of their business model.

Ugh why is it that they always resemble root vegetables?

Fascism is back on the rise there, unfortunately.

I thought my little AfD reference at the end would give me away.

[-] frazw@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago

I thought it was clear

[-] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago

I can’t tell if that’s a lucky coincidence or a reference, but the Alternative for Germany (AfD) are the biggest voices in support of fascism in Germany, and they just won 20% of the seats in parliament. Luckily, even the CXU won’t form a coalition with them yet, so they will hopefully not have much impact on things.

Ironically, the AfD doesn’t want to militarize against Russia (but don’t be too reassured, they do want to reinstate mandatory conscription and militarize generally, just not against daddy Putin)

[-] Goldholz 15 points 2 days ago

AfD is a nazi party. With tied to Blood and Honor, Proud Boys, constantly yelling nazi quotes, nazi saluting in private and small meetings, copying their rethoric and imagin aso

I think the widespread political "unwavering support" for a nation committing Genocide, which is justified by the ethnicity of the people of that nation, kinda shows that some part of Fascism (the whole "people's race is what matters the most and some races are better than others") hasn't at all been stamped out.

Then there's AfD which is just taking the "if it's good to support them because of their race, then it's good to support us" step closer to Fascism.

Germany is far closer to a certain philosophy anchored on classifying one's fellow human being as worthy or unworthy depending on race than one would like to believe (certainly, I liked to believe before the political reaction there to whole Gaza thing made it too obvious to deny) - the symbols were made illegal whilst the spirit lives.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 6 points 2 days ago

Not totally. Fascism did take over 20% of the vote in last month’s election.

The alternative is to not build a giant army and use the money in something more useful that will benefit germans and humanity

And whenever Russia wants some land it's just handed over?

[-] AES_Enjoyer@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

That's a very poor understanding of geopolitics. Giving more money to Rheinmetall to lobby European politicians will SURELY not decrease the possibility of war in the EU.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Only if you believe the government and a bunch of corrupted politicians who never fought a war will save you.

Germany was never fully denazified. There's a reason the New Left in Germany was so militant. Kiesinger was in the Nazi Party!

[-] Goldholz 5 points 2 days ago

Yeah the Schreibtischnazis and industrial-nazis never got punished. And not to speak of east germany who employed SS and Gestapo members in their StaSi

[-] AES_Enjoyer@reddthat.com 1 points 1 day ago

East Germany was denazified to a much higher degree than west Germany. Half of the fucking embassies of West Germany were run by Nazis, and some NATO generals literally took part in the SS. Soviets lost 25 million lives to Nazism, they were much, much more stringent with Nazism than western Europe.

[-] Goldholz 1 points 1 day ago

Sadly, the facts are not supporting your argument. Also you call it naziism which is just emberessing. American tankie i assume? "West bad" "soviet union glory state made of marble"?

[-] Strider@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Thoroughly?

Supporting companies? ...
