Germany should have actually denazified instead of the joke they did. Also should have reunited the two germanys instead of what happened which was basically a west German conquest of east Germany contributing greatly to its impoverershment.

But the Left and Greens are in opposition — this is a chance. Hopefully they are able to mobilise as well in the coming years.
Socially, the Greens stand exactly where the "Social Democrats" stand. They are a party of privileged academics who are plagued by their ecological conscience. And the Left still has Putin bootlicker vibes (they call it "peace"), even though the worst Putin bootlickers left them to form their own party.

AfD is using fascist manipulation using propaganda (always putting immigrants and immigrant attacks in the spotlight) to gain power and discriminate immigrants even more, causing more retaliation which in turn makes people give the AfD even more power.
In a tolerant society we should not be tolerant of such intolerance.

The problem is that more simple minded people who are actually conservative, as they want to conserve society as it is, will easily fall for the propaganda and vote for a party that is out to destroy what they want to conserve.
The self proclaimed standing of a party is part of its propaganda. Unfortunately the media are complicit with the parties on perpetuating their propaganda, by calling parties by their chosen adjectives, rather than by what would be more fitting. Conservatives should rather be called "Destructives", and in many countries, "Social Democrats" are rather Neoliberals, for they have long sold out social democracy to the highest bidder and now follow an extremist free market ideology, their only remaining difference to the "Conservatives" being not wanting to return to societal norms from 60 years ago.

The real problem is that "conserve society as it is" was always a lie, unless the "as it is" you're talking about happened to be monarchy. Conservatism, as an ideology, was founded in support of monarchism. A society run by an aristocratic elite has always been the thing they're trying to conserve.

Is the proper response: Well shit.
This is why I keep telling people we are fucked by focusing in increasing military powerr in europe even if it appears and is obviously needed. We are going to put all the power at the hands of insane lunatics ready to wage 2ar and put people in ovens.
It's happening in all countries in Europe. I think in mine we'll have elections next month or something like that and the extreme right is at 2nd or 3rd position ready to take first or will join hands with another to win. It was so close already last time. No matrer how many crimes all their members do show up in the news every week.
It's what the people want. Most people everywhere are ok and want homicidal narcissist and sociopathic people in charge of them.

And stil the state refuses to ban them, refuses to arrest and sentence their leaders.
It will be Weimar 2.0 with liberals being either too incompetent or too unwilling to stop fascism.
Fascism is not stopped at the podium or in parliament. It is stopped with bullets and bombs. The longer you wait the more bullets and bombs it will take and the more lives it will cost.

Anything from national conservatives to common reactionaries, Völkische and neo-nazis and neo-fascists.

So it is a poll of people who answer phone numbers they don’t recognize.
There's a lot more than that, check the sampling methods on this Wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(statistics)
They could, for example, ask for demographic information of the sampled population and weight that to the general population (let's say that 50% of the people who answered are males from 70+; but they just represent 10% of the general population, then that answers are weighted to represent only 10% of the final results).
There's a lot of theory behind sampling.

I’m sure it is probably fine. I’m just being flippant.

These polls don't matter much. Next major election in Germany is in 2029.I'd argue these assholes didn't win the battle just yet. Anti lobby work, Investments in military power, education and quality of life for people are just some of the things to convince more people. Four years is plenty.

Nah I don't buy it. Nazis voting for nazis know what they are doing. AfDs plan is clear, like project 2025 was and their voters like what they see and should be treated and handled accordingly.
Okay well in German and I know some of these idiots. It's true. Of course some are literally Nazis. You see the same thing in the US as well. Don't take my reply as defending these people.

Are they dumber than the parties that didn't get the message?
Can confirm they're generally quite dumb.

If the government doesn't fall like it does here regularly

It is the party all the fascists vote on.
Should tell you enough.

*In an opinion poll
I mean lets not confuse an opinion poll with the truth. These things regularly get things a couple points off. In fact that’s the norm.

Honest question, what was wrong with the denazification that was carried out? Did they have any historical example to compare to?

Jeah wondering the same, like Germany was already doing a lot more compared to other countries with previous facist governments

Germany: well, okay, listen, it's not working out for America, and it didn't work out for us that one time, but they promised it'll be different for us. What's a few civil liberties and social safety nets if it means we get to
extract slave labor from immigrantsput immigrants in prison for life for the crime of existing?Innuendo Studios summarized it rather well with:
"We're not like those other fascists. We're young, hip, and successful. Come back, baby. It'll be different this time."

His whole series on White Fascism and the current Alt-Right is a phenomenal summary of today's right wing "conservative" (fascist / nazi) landscape in an internet-connected age. Nothing has truly changed for them: they're still a suicide cult based around attacking "the other" (whatever they pick to attack) and then narrowing who is allowed to be at the top until everyone is dead.

Using bullets and bombs would make the rest not better than the fascists, so lets not use them.
