We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Germany's spy agency BfV has labeled the entirety of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party as an extremist entity.

The BfV domestic intelligence agency, which is in charge of safeguarding Germany's constitutional order, said the announcement comes after an "intense and comprehensive" examination.

"The ethnicity-and ancestry-based conception of the people that predominates within the party is not compatible with the free democratic order," the BfV said on Friday.

Hopefully this inspires the other parties to to start the process to see the AfD banned. I know the report might not look like much, because of how obvious the findings are. But previous attempts at banning them have failed because such an official report was missing. So maybe our political system starts getting its shit together.

As we say in Germany: Hope dies last

Yes, I consider all the people who argue “the Gaza genocide should be the most important political issue of our time in every country of the world” one group, namely the group of people who bring it up in every political discussion everywhere.

Please point out exactly were I said that "Gaza genocide should be the most important political issue of our time in every country of the world"

Beyond that:

  • I'm making the point, repeatedly, that politicians building support at home for their policies of supporting far-right extremism abroad (which is what Israel - an ethno-Fascist white colonialist nation with Appartheid constitutionally enshrined - is as is it's ultra-racist Genocide in Gaza) is tightly related to the growth of far-right extremism at home because to do the former means spreading the way of viewing the world of the far-right hence it boosts the latter.
  • Your whole point is "if you go after one of those things you stop the other thing from being addressed", which implies that those things are totally unrelated, plus it relies on the ridiculous falacy that people cannot deal with more than one problem at the same time.

Your point relies on the notion that repeated and overt statements in favour of Racial Descrimination (which is exactly what people like Schulz do when they say that "Germany unwaveringly supports the Jewish Nation" to justify sending weapons to Israel to carry on executing their Genocide) somehow don't embolden Racists to think that "Racism is ok" and hence that those criticizing the former somehow, magically, are derrailing the fight against the latter.
