    This is a reaction to far-right Islamists becoming German citizens, something the left is unable to address because it feels honorbound to tolerate intolerance from anybody

      The far-right islamists aren’t the problem populists make them out to be in germany. The solution they provide is also very xenophobiv and will only make stuff worse. This isn’t a reaction to them it’s just the german people failing to recognize what is true and what you shouldn’t believe in politics. Also it’s very attractive to listen to the simple solutions these parties suggest instead of actually finding something that would fix the problem

      It’s actually pretty insane how quickly the extreme right has evolved from: “we are against immigration of Muslims because they are intolerant to Western values” towards antisemitism, bigotry towards LGBTQ and love of Putins authoritarianism. The daylight between fundamentalist Islam and parties like AFD is getting smaller and smaller. The only difference is, you guessed it, the color of their skin.

        Oh yea, the native German far right have a grab basket of abhorrent BS behind whatever popular legitimate grievance is the hot topic in the country. German anxiety about far-right Islamists is the gateway drug to the pro-Putin ideological buffet

      You guys can really whine about those things, don’t you?

      There are less than 4% people who believe in Islam in Germany.

      Are you afraid they are going to take over your precious extreme right? Since you guys have the same morals and values it seems.

        I’m not far right myself. I’m a Canadian Trudeau voter. I’m just saying that I think seeing far-right Islamists triggers the native far-right in Germany more than Trudeau triggers anti-vaxxers in Canada

      a reaction to far-right Islamists becoming German citizens

      I mean, its certainly reactionary. But so much of the response is hysterical. It isn’t rooted in current events nearly so much as it is a response to mass media fixating on Muslims as The Other and overreporting - even straight up fabricating - events intended to make Muslims look uniquely dangerous.

      the left is unable to address because it feels honorbound to tolerate intolerance from anybody

      Antisemitism Islamphobia is the Socialism of Fools.

      German labor leaders need to incorporate migrant laborers into their coalitions or they will continue to be a wedge that drives apart the older generation from the new. As it stands, the miniscule number of new Muslim workers have become the scapegoats in a global capitalist project to dismantle European domestic industry.

      Germans are turned at each others throats so that their landlords can pick their pockets and loot their corpses when the killing is done.
