I had heard that they were going to ban the afd (some court?) . Is that not happening?
No it hasn't. It's just that whenever you call a facist a facist they say "You call everyone a facist!". This is how they work - they deny, delay and downplay any critique.
And billionaires, especially the Nazis variety.
I quite enjoyed Elon getting bullied over POE2 stream.
Most people like trump, because "strong man". No one really even knows who JD vance or Usha are. But I guess they'd like her, they like rishi sunak. Being rich is seen as a virtue. There's also a weird obsession with seeing indians in powerful positions, some sort repressed complex.
She's fine with the racism because "she's one of the good ones". She and vance are neoliberalists, opportunists. Watch them try and make as much money as they can before they get kicked out.
You are right, it's true everywhere. It's human nature to be wary of people you don't understand. But, for some things, you'd expect countries that are a lot further ahead in progressivism to be "nicer", especially since, you know, they industrialised and became richer on the backs of poorer countries.
Though I suppose that's very difficult to quantitatively measure exactly - how progressive someone is (on the scale of a country). How more accepting they are than other countries.
But there's also room for letting people air out their issues without being told that "everyone is like this, stop whining". That's literally what the Russian goverment does, they implicitly tell their populace that democracy doesn't work and that this is the best deal they'll ever get.
A lot of Americans support Trump or have no willingness to do anything about his facism.
A lot of Germans support Afd.
A lot of french support le pen.
A lot of British folks support reform and Tommy robinson.
So, do all the people from these countries also not deserve any sympathy? You know the ones who can't do anything about who rules over them? Because they are too busy bogged down in trying to make a living?
Do nothing
How do you expect the regular russian to rise up against putin when they can barely can provide anything for their family? But also, When their only source of truth has been the state media, ofcourse it's brainwashing.
Americans are not doing anything about the horrific things trump is doing and is that okay? Should we start calling Americans burger pigs and paint them all as racist caricatures of fat blonde pigs?
...
At least don't dehumanise the Russians. There are plenty who hate what's happening and have died to free their country.
Poor person gets brainwashed, coerced and joins military to earn money.
"Haha, orc!!! They all deserve to die a pigs death!!"
All libertarians care about is how they can make money and benefit from a situation.
They don't care others are getting fucked as long as they can have their tea.
They don't actually want a free market, they want a market where they can burrow their tendrils deep into society and suck off as much as they can.
Seems like a catch 22. They would need the party to be in power and to try and dismantle the democratic elements before they get a ban. But wouldn't it be too late then? Because if they're in power, what's stopping them from reducing the courts to puppet shows? (like arguably what's slowly happening in the US) or what happened in the 1940s.
From what I can tell (I am an outsider), the party's manifesto seems to aim to do exactly that. Is that not a reasonable enough reason? I know they aren't outright nazis themselves, but I've heard whispers and about connections to those who are openly nazis themselves. Like elon Musk who is openly a nazi.
Are the courts confident the Afd won't pull a Nazi third reich? I wonder if the checks and balances in germany are stronger than those in other countries. In the end, it will only matter to whom the police listens to.
Banning them seems like a question of political will, instead of having the right procedure in place.
