So, to summarize: He's a far-right extremist from abroad. His agenda is to promote the deportation of foreigners from Germany and keeping foreigners out of Germany. The government officials found out about him and grant his wish by banning him - a foreigner - from entering Germany. And now he's mad, because... They did as he told them?

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Edit: I see what you did there !europe@feddit.de...

Doublethink is strong in these people.

The leader of the PEGIDA movement that did many far right anti refugee demos in 2015 and 2016 had fled to South Africa in the 90s to avoid a prison sentence for multiple break ins. He then was convicted for robberies, drug dealing, scams, the whole ordeal.

Of course their main "argument" was that all refugees would be criminals and increase the crime rate in Germany.

Proves their point! He is one of those criminal refugees himself, isn't he? First hand knowledge.

Next one: Alice Weidel. Leader of the far right German AfD. Lesbian, originates from Switzerland and her wife came from Sri Lanka(?).

This is exactly what happened. And we are all laughing our asses of. The irony is so delicious.

In his mind Austria is probably still part of Germany.
