germans far right is exactly the same. leaked chats showed the most vile disgusting shit. but the sad part is, that you don’t even need those leaked chats. official politicians suggested shooting at immigrants, killing opponents and getting rid of our grundgesetz (which resembles your constitution).
but ask “moderate” if we should use our law that allows us to prohibit parties that clearly attack our grundgesetz and they will come up with the law of free speech (which doesn’t apply in this case). the irony: the far right already made clear that free speech of the first thing to go when they are in charge.
for gods sake read some karl popper: you can’t tolerate the intolerant! free speech can only justify free speech as long as that speech doesn’t attack the freedom of others.

This meme was my first exposure to the leaked texts. I suppose having read the articles about this, I’ll believe anything now.
Sadly it feels as if the US is reliving Germany’s pre-WWII history and it feels like we are all just sleepwalking into the same hell.
Every so often though there’s a little good news. We shall see.
And confirmed: we cannot be tolerant of the intolerant!
