Those who forget the lessons of history are doomed to repeat them.
Unfortunately they’ll repeat them on the rest of us.
They haven’t forgotten …
Maybe not those in power or seeking it, but the younger generation lacks a firm understanding of the atrocities of WW2 and the rise to power of those that committed them.
Isn’t the place they won in was a former East-German state. If my former ex-communist state is anything to come by, I guess that way too many history teachers taught that the nazis were evil for evil sake, and didn’t had stuff like blaming economic distress on the Jewish population. Still remember a certain history teacher asking us “Why the Jews for no good reason?”, all while she was an anti-Roma racist.
One of the things the AfD keeps going on about is that Germans should step out of that shame etc. They haven’t completely forgotten, but they certainly want to.
You misunderstand the subtext: It’s not “Let’s move on” it is “Don’t be ashamed of what happened”.
Just like the US and their stance on slavery and genocide on the natives.
Judging by all the sieg heil responses to the win on German social media, they are enthusiastically repeating it eyes wide open.
It’s a fucking disgrace
Hey, with any luck the AI Apocolypse will start soon and these racist backward assholes will die with the rest of us!!
Yay… /s
The most damning thing about the AFD isn’t their political or moral compass, it’s that the billionaires (and strangely enough - the Russians) want them in power.
and strangely enough - the Russians
That’s not really strange. Russia has wanted to destabilize and weaken Europe and the USA for a long time, and getting far right parties running things is a proven formula.
Yep. In Poland they seem to support Konfederacy party, which is polish version of AfD
Nah, Konfa is just a bunch of late stage capitalist libertarian manchildren, they’re enthusiastically in the kneeling end of the fascists gloryhole, but they’re not actually nazis… just yet.
AfD though? Fucking wehraboos. Hang them without mercy.
stage capitalist libertarian manchildren
That would be Janusz Korwin Mikke

I don’t think it is strange at all that the Russians want them in power since the Russians are also Nazis.
Putting the socialism back in national socialism
Ah, so they are sauerkraut Republicans.
sauerkraut MGGA
I’d hate to lump the 5 Republicans who don’t tacitly or explicitly support Trump in with the rest of them…
I guess AFD means “America First Deuschland”…
Putin is colluding with Israel as we speak, I guess he can put his antisemitism on hold to gain power.
It all goes together with the no integrity nor good values, and matches how the orange likes putin too, more authoritarian and less freedom and quality of life, just like Russia, Argentina and since maga. Their propaganda to blame minorities and double down never worked, at least for the majority to have good lives, so they should all learn from it and not repeat it, but they don’t learn, need more suffering before change course, and later claim they didn’t know.
Make Germany Great Again … oh no … not again.
Look, they finally got it reich this time! You should be happy for them.
Of course he does. Dude used to sleep with a copy of Mein Kampf on his night stand. Well if it talks like a Nazi and goose steps like a Nazi, it’s “totally not a Nazi and you have TDS!”.
Lol every time I hear “TDS” I always think it means people demented just like Trump and following the idiot into the fire.
If it talks like a duck and steps like a goose…
what’s tds? googled it and I get total dissolved solids and something about home internet
In case you’re being serious, it’s " Trump Derangement Syndrome". It’s what MAGA morons say when someone rightfully criticizes their stupid idol.
LMAO thanks
It’s the name for older BMW turbodiesels. First they had td, then when they added an intercooler, it became tds.
The other thing it stands for is stupid af
yes it truly stands for something else dumb af not related to cars, but thanks for the history lesson 😎
Nazis celebrating and congratulating other Nazis.
Wait I thought this was a only problem in the US because Americans don’t riot. Are you telling me that wasn’t true? Im shocked! (/s)
“WhY DoN’t ThE GeRmAnS dO sOmEtHinG‽”
Bommers will vote either for the SPD, who have no backbone, or the Christian Democrats/ socials which well…
Next youre gonna tell me that France, bastion of freedom and resistance, also has a problem with neo-nazis
Don’t worry, all those people on their high horses will continue to comfortably mock the US while far-right politicians continue to gain power in their own countries.
Tbf, Germany also supports Israel
That’s an independent problem from this lol
D’oh, you’re right
German government (conservatives kept in power by the boomer voting bloc) support Israel, German people is a different story
There are historic reasons for that and its still highly criticised and often halted.
Also echoes the last words of another nazi:
Fritz Sauckel was found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity, and was hanged at Nuremberg Prison on 16 October 1946. His last words were recorded as “Ich sterbe unschuldig, mein Urteil ist ungerecht. Gott beschütze Deutschland. Möge es leben und eines Tages wieder groß werden. Gott beschütze meine Familie.” (“I die an innocent man, my sentence is unjust. God protect Germany. May it live and one day become great again. God protect my family.”)
An appropriate penalty.
If someone refuses to acknowledge and atone for crimes against humanity, they need to be separated from humanity…. Forever.
Certain US president when they greet their “friends” winning some election somewhere:
Oh my god we have been taken over by fucking Nazis. They are going to rat fuck the midterms. You can’t vote out Nazis. We as Americans deserve all the bad things that are about to happen to us. FIGHT THE FUCK BACK!
