    Oh no, Germany, not again! You have already tried this, remember?

      I think that’s absolutely right. The fact that the far right is also on the rise in other countries should not distract from the special responsibility of German citizens. Especially since many AFD voters often use this as an argument: “If other countries are nationalistic, why shouldn’t we be?”

        We all have to do what we can, where we can. I am not saying Germans are any worse than any one else. Fascism is an ideology and can grow anywhere.

      The dumbest comment ever.

      Still not untrue! The Number of AfD- Supporters is rising and rising in Germany.

      But it is not just a phenomenon in Germany, in fact it is found in many western countries.

      It kinda compares to the MAGA-Movement in the US - people are very disappointed with the current german government and the inflation just taking its toll on the families with low income.

        To be clear. I’m not implying Germany is better or worse than the US. We clearly need to clean up our room too.
