Hungary's Orban says far-right AfD is the 'future of Germany'
-
I think it's the past of Germany if anything...
-
"Bärendienst", as in "A well meaning action that has unintended negative consequences"?
-
I'll take it!
-
And literally meaning "bear service", I think? That's hilarious. The most formidable beast of the wilds of Europe, simply a bumbling little guy always making things worse when they try to help
-
They get to learn where the term Tankie comes from!
-
What do the nazis thought of central Europeans? This would only be survival instinct to never ally with them
-
Weren't Nazis also central Europeans?
-
Germany is typically classified as Western European so no.
-
They thought the same stuff about Jews and Salvic people so, and usually, Germany is considered western Europe
-
It's literally a German concept, https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitteleuropa
-
it's from an 1800 year old Indian fable about a bear who crushes his friend's skull with a rock in an attempt to kill an annoying fly.
many european languages seem to have the expression.
-
Yeah, the whole of the EU knows Hungary is our corrupt little member.
This might make some far right wingers realize that fascism is only good for the powerful and wealthy.
-
only if you assume their Nazi problem ever went away
-
Both are the human equivalent of loud wet sharts.
-
I am not sure, they delineated based on race not necessarily nationality, they hated Slavic people but Hungarians are not Slavic.
All in all, Hitler gave back territory lost in WWI to Hungary, so I think they just didn't care.
Fuck Hitler, Szálasi and Horthy with a spiky stick though.

-
Their Nazis in charge problem went away.
-
lol, the AfD is literally in the Bundestag and all state parliaments
-
Do you understand what being in charge means? Because they aren’t.
-
there are polls saying they could come in second in the elections this month. and some CDU members planning a coalition. I wouldn't be so optimistic
