    Why is Germany included in this? The fucking brown shit nazis of the AfD had huge gains this election and became second strongest party in the country.

    I feel like going around and smacking everyone who was too lazy or to uninterested to drag their ass to a voting booth and stand up against this ongoing shift to the right.

    Seriously, Germany makes it super easy to vote. You are automatically registered, get an invitation in the mail, get mail ballots with 2 clicks on your cities website and there is literally a polling station for everyone in walking distance and no wait time. THERE IS NO EXCUSE!!

      Also, please note that the German AfD is so batshit extreme, that even the other european Nazis don’t want anything to do with them and kicked them out of their EU coalition.

      They are under constant observation by the German Verfassungsschutz because they are dancing on the line that would make them an anti-democratic extremists group that would be banned by law.

        Please stop calling them Nazis. That would mean they are social, which they are not. They are just capitalist/plutocratic fascists.

          You mean the free housing they provided to the Jews, or what? Even free showers they had there. And free mass graves.

          The Nazis were NEVER social.

          They are as social as the “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” (North Korea) is Democratic. About 0.00%.
          Anybody can call themselves anything, that doesn’t make them that.

          You want to brush up on your history, if you go around and tell people what the Nazis aren’t and weren’t.

      Huge gains sure, but far from power still.
