Germany is on its way to facism
-
Specifically, the conservative/fascist sphere has figured out, via brute testing, how to refine their "narative" stories and marketing of those stories, alongside with how to use social media for it (personalized messaging and astroturfing). They know how to hack the masses or at least the relevant electorate.

It's Einfache Sprache, nowhere close to the formal register.
-
Sadly a lot of the voters dont care. It is literally the same as in the US, where over 50% voted for a facist.
-
I'm French, and honestly, I don't think tanks would roll into Paris like you said. France would 100% go fascist as well...
-
Most of the rest of Europe has similar issues. Poland has had PiS for a long time, France sees Macron working with LePen, Italy is right wing under Meloni, Netherlands have the right wing in party in the government right now and there are plenty more. Germany is pretty much the last large country standing and this looks bad.
-
I don't know if France would go fascist, since I'm not french, but one other caveat against tanks rolling into Paris is that France has nukes.
-
the french gov has been flirting with fascist rhetoric for the past 6 years
-
I'm not disagreeing with you. I am just not too involved in the intricacies of French governance. But I can say that nukes would be a deterrent against a German invasion!
-
oh for sure

My theory is that Merz is looking to poach AfD voters, by "aligning" with their biggest point of immigration to strengthen his chancellor candidacy. But I'm also not THAT informed on the current events.

you will need it eventually for its actual meaning.
Yeah, that time is now and this is what we need it for.
The next time to use it would be retrospectively, when historians try to explain how democracy died in Germany again.
-
I guess, that he really wants to work together with them. He regularly uses their talking points and hints into the direction that people have to talk with them. The latest homicide (an immigrant killed a man and a 2 year old) is great for shifting the discourse to the right.
-
Unfortunately, that was just a typo, which has now been fixed thanks to your generous intervention.
-
I would say that makes it even worse. Cooperating with the Nazis just for the sake of an empty symbolic gesture.
-
Too bad.
