Germany is on its way to facism
-
a populist, useless, unhelpful, racist act that goes both against the German constitution and against EU rules
Germany is de facto already enforcing permanent border controls, as well as Austria.

How's the BSW voting on this? I know they're sort of hopping on the immigrants bashing bandwagon but hope they have the sense not to align with the fascists.

They didn't vote. There was an overview somewhere on lemmy

-
So 1/4th of Germans support the literal Nazi party.
That sounds like a big deal to me
-
all 8 BSW representatives abstained (2 weren't there)

They said that they will support the passing of the law on Friday.

fascists

Those (already pretty pointless) measures were supposed to be temporary, limited to 6 months. The law the CxU is trying to get through parliament tomorrow will make that permanent. And that's only one part of CxU's "5-item plan", and probably the most harmless to the people affected by it.

Actually a fifth, and it's not Germans but just German voters. But yeah, otherwise, true.

There wasn't last time either technically. Last time there were also a bunch of far right idiots in power too.
The issue is the far right always gets greedy and wants more, and pisses off other countries both far right and center or left. Hence war. Don't forget Hitler and Stalin initially worked together before fighting against each other.

I was really sure it'd be the USA starting WW3 this time but the Germans really want no one else to claim those WW titles, do they?
-
The Border Controls at the Swiss and Austrian Border go already for years, not 6 Months, hence they are already illegal
