Hey there’s a new genocide going on Germany: “hold my beer”
Germany never met a genocide they didn’t like
Well I’ll not burden them with my tourism dollars again then.
They have so much guilt over the holocaust that they’re enabling the next holocaust.
Killing brown people was never been an issue in west, nothing would happen. I bet they’d be even proud
Always on the wrong side of history, aren’t you?
Fuck off, Deutschebags.
how very Nazi of them.
The fuck is Germanys problem
No problem. Smart. Step 1: brutalize nearly all Jews, rob all their property, kill them by slave labour (then lose war, all in shambles, but the economic elite and nazi profiteers remain filthy rich Step 2: support “the right to exist” of a Jewish state far away so you’ll never have to deal with any claims and only with very little Jews in your own country Step 3: celebrate yourself as a moral champion
The German playbook in brief. Herzliche Grüße
Corruption
They’re german
They once killed a lot of Jews. They don’t want to be seen as any level of antisemitic.
They seem quite comfortable supporting genocide, and too weak to at least speak out morally regarding the matter. Say what you will about the US, Britain, and their support of this genocide; within the nations there is a palpable and significant resistance to what the governments are doing to support the genocide.
Where is the German peoples resistance to being party to yet another genocide?

I guess they don’t care as long as it isn’t Germans doing it? 🙃
There are some but get violently beaten or arrested
The lesson they learned from the Holocaust was to get someone else to do the dirty work.
Nothing more antisemitic than supporting zionists

You’re very broadly generalizing all antizionists into one big antisemitic basket. Which makes no sense especially given the existence of antizionist jewish groups.
Of course antizionism can devolve into antisemitism, and we shouldn’t ignore that. But equating the two is really fucking dangerous since it essentially preempts any criticism of Israel as antisemitism. And when Israel is committing genocide, that’s not an acceptable position to take.
I feel for jewish people worldwide who had to suffer because Israel is committing genocide and some numnuts blames them for it. I do. But this pales in comparison with the suffering inflicted upon Palestinians. And let’s not forget that there have been synagogues who have openly espoused genocidal rhetoric, which makes them a valid target for protest (a protest at a church espousing Nazi rhetoric isn’t racist towards christians, nor is one at a mosque promoting Al-Qaeda islamophobic).
On a sidenote, conflating antizionism with antisemitism means claiming being against the Israeli government is being against jewish people in general, which is a deeply antisemitic statement to make. I assume it wasn’t your intention but you should be very careful of your language.

And you wonder why AfD is getting so popular
AfD is very much not supportive towards Palestine.
Thats the entire point, if the left wing party is doing nothing but appealing to the far right than most people would rather just vote for the far right party
CDU+SPD don’t seem very left as a coalition. CDU turned to AFD to pass immigration reform even though they said they wouldn’t. The current government criminalizes certain protests.
It’s the “Trump” effect. Many grew tired of the establishment and for some reason saw Trump as an outsider.
My dad voted Bernie in 2016, then switched to Trump. Since then he’s slid into the absolute worst forms of conservatism. But it all started because he thought Bernie would fix the system, saw the system as ineffectual, and then picked the person he thought would disrupt the system.
AfD is definitely pulling on similar sentiments, and will end just as disastrously as Trump maybe even worse
“Fascism arises from the collapse of legitimacy of liberal institutions”
It’s not about supporting Palestine (on not), the voters and party are more about what’s happening to Germany
Aeguably they are not. The AfD says stuff that gets people riled up but they are the exact same neocons dialed up to 11 as the current government. Just even more racist, fascist and transphobic.
it’s the ‘normal’ parties and EU fuck ups driving their voters to them.
As you said, this stuff gets people riled up and that impacts who they vote for
fuck
Fork found in drawer, once again.
