Representatives of the Alternative for Germany have held high-profile talks in Washington to strengthen ties with the Trump administration. Relations with the US have long been contentious within the AfD.

    It’s funny how these “patriots” are best buddies with countries like Russia (we are currently at war with essentially), China (generally adversarial superpower) and US (we are currently engaged in trade war with). Surely they can just have the best interests for Germany with such a great portfolio of allies.

    The Swedish Nazi Party (SD) wanted to hold a moment of silence for Charlie Kirk in the EU-parliament and threw a hissy fit when denied. Them and their allies the Moderate party, the Liberal party, and the Christan party have been on the news constantly complaining about nonexistent “left wing violence” for the last couple of months. So we’ll likely see a sharp increase in political violence from them in the coming election.

    I can see why given magas success. Nothing like federal government police hurting and killing folks. I assume AfD like that kind of thing but not being german I can’t know for sure.

      Yeah they like it, they’re a bit late to the party though. Even maga is waking up, the issue is that they have nowhere else to go, for a decade they were told that democrats are literal demons. So we need to come together and drop partisanship if we want to survive.

      Look, I love Germany, I love Germans, a few of my ex girlfriends were German, my best friends are German, I used to live in Germany. But they truly, on a viscerally deep level, do not understand Americans. They don’t understand our values, they don’t understand our humor, they tiptoe very carefully around race-issues, but they don’t understand how we can actually integrate and mix rather than maintaining strict racial neighborhoods organically, (aside from a few places, like Berlin but that’s a special place) they don’t understand what makes us do crazy things or why we help people we don’t know, why we start conversations with strangers if we don’t have some goal in talking to them. They don’t understand us. And they want to use us. They see racism which basically aligns with theirs, and they hope to form an alliance, but it will never sway the American public at large. Talk all the shit you want about Americans being propagandized by FOX, it’s true, but so is your country and everyone else’s. Now they have to find out the hard way that deep down, and at a number much higher than any other demographic in the entire nation, we fucking hate Nazis and authoritarianism. Federal agents used to know better than to even walk into some states. That feeling never went away.

      You have any guns in your house from the last time your relatives had to fight the government over authoritarian tendencies over there in Germany? I do, everyone I know does, and I’m just some dude from a small-town. We never stopped buying them, because we still remember. My grandfather REFUSED to buy a rifle if it had a registration. My grandfather on the other side was at the Ford strike where the government opened fire into the picket. He never put money into a bank even. He made sure I understood that the government is not there to help us, and he gave me his guns. My neighbor used to get drunk and let off his AK into some dead car in his back yard. There are millions of him. Millions. You’ll find racists in the US, but 90% of us fucking hate them too. They’re just the loudest whiniest little bitches that exist, doing their gay little color-coded marches because daddy never hugged them enough, and their crimes are heinous, so they occupy a far larger online footprint than they do in the real world. How many videos of Nazis getting rocked in the US can you find? How many videos of them backing down at the slightest resistance? How many videos of nazis rocking opponents in the US? Exactly. They are bitch-boy cosplayers who think that after their shitty homoerotic fascist state is implemented, that they can just go and take women like in caveman days. They can’t get laid not because they suck, but because society precludes the natural way of doing it. (I’ve heard these freaks talk like that) Thing is, there’s at least a 50% chance it would be a girl that smoked them in this situation. more like 80%. Everybody’s got a plan until they get punched in the mouth. And I’ve seen girls fuck up guys who look like your average y’all-queada marcher. These guys haven’t been punched in the mouth enough yet. They think they want it, because any pussy can hold a gun and they assume that they are the only ones who have them, but they really, really don’t. The poor fuckers need love, but they’ve spent their lives creating the most unlovable persona possible. So in short, they need to grow the fuck up and stop being such whiny bitches. Nobody’s gonna do it for ya, not even that cool older dude at the paintball place with a lil ss sticker on his gun who invites your teenage friends to his place for practice. Ya know, the neo-n*zi militia recruiter. We know, and if we know, you better get smart before it’s too late.

      There might have been a time, a few years back, where they could have jumped on the train and taken advantage of the confusion, but now it’s too late. Their open nazis are getting ousted and facing real legal consequences and they know they can’t hold on for too much longer. Nobody gives af about Czech president, the tide has turned fully against Putin and Trumpsim, now the only issue is watching which sandcastles last the longest against the inevitable eroding flow of the social pendulum.

      EDIT: Sorry, these guys rile me up. No bad vibes intended.

    They recently lost one of their top talent for effective online propaganda.

    Wouldn’t be surprised if they needed strategic assistance to help further rot the minds of germans.
