Every time I hear something about AfD or one of the other far-right morons I play a game in my head: where did they steal this one from? Which part of MAGA is reflected here? In this case: the Latin Vote. They see how the apparent contradiction can simply be ignored and the same rhetoric applied.
BTW, my mom is an immigrant in Germany herself (not Turkish though) and happily repeating all of AfD’s anti-immigration talking points.
Love my mom. After happily living in Germany for 50 years or so she is now applying for citizenship so that she can vote against those fuckers.
This gives me hope.
Ottoman Empire legacy:
Or maybe just normal citizens that don’t want illegal immigrant around ? I mean, as far as I know AfD (and every other supposely anti immigration Right wing party) want to not have illegal immigrant, they don’t really care about legal immigrant that follow the local laws and are integrated in the society.

Well, you don’t really know much then. The AfD is having serious internal talks about kicking out people with a German passport, simply for being gay/trans/wrong shade of white/random bullshit reason. They are fascists, for real…
My friend, the AfD wants to “remigrate” immigrants that are so well integrated that they have German citizenship 🙄
To give this a little context :in 2023 there was a Secret meeting between afd officials and far right extremists where they discussed the deportation (remigration is a euphemism used to mask the inhumanity that is evoked here) of millions of immigrants and citizens.
After huge backlash and demonstrations in 23/24 the party started to embrace the term and wove it into their official party line, not unlike ‘project 2025’ from maga.
So no, it is not ‘concerned citizens’ that just want to protect society from ‘criminals’, they are racist, dehumanizing bigots who are planning fascist deportations of ‘undesirables’, not exclusive to immigrants but also including citizens, also not unlike ICE and MAGA are acting at the moment. Nevermind that at least in Germany this goes against basic constitutional law including article 1 of the German constitution:
“Human dignity shall be inviolable. To respect and protect it is the duty of all state authority.”
My wife is a “legal migrant”. That’s bullshit they hate her too. They are making it almost impossible to have papers. The issue with people like you is that they’re too stupid to realize they’re destroying people’s life and that they’re existence is increasing overall human suffering
Cazzo fascista puta
My wife is a “legal migrant”. That’s bullshit they hate her too.
People tends to note the illegal immigrants that live that live by petty (or big) crimes, not your wife that is a good citizen.
And it is too easy to associate your wife with the illegals since I suppose your wife will not go around with is passport or any other documents pinned to her back for everyone to read.They are making it almost impossible to have papers.
Oh yes, the concept of consequence.
The issue with people like you is that they’re too stupid to realize they’re destroying people’s life and that they’re existence is increasing overall human suffering
Oh well, I maybe am stupid like you say, but I can understand that having an always increasing number of immigrants that are on welfare is not sustainable for any country. Do you want your country (and your life) ruined by illegal immigrants on welfare ? Be my guest but keep the insults for people who do not want it for yourself.
There’s no such thing as IlleGal immigrant, retard. You just want germany for germans. The very concept is the politically correct version of ethnic clainsing, but the idea is still to “remigrate” people you deem unacceptable. Nobody’s fooled. Not even you.
Yeah whatever if she’s taken away from me I’m killing a racist
Come on, you can do better than repeating these false talking points.
Most immigrants are not on welfare, the exception being asylum seekers that are legally prohibited from working, so they have no other choice.
But that is only a small minority and most immigrants pay way more into the social system then they will ever get out of it.
And “illegal” immigrants are certainly not on welfare 🙄
No, that’s what party apparatchik tell the press but thats juat bullshit becase they’re ckwards and not brave enough to wear their racist entitled shitty beliefs on their sleeve
The irony, I swear
Edit: To add, we’ve had a similar situation with the romanian diaspora in europe voting mostly for the anti-eu candidate during the presidentials. The mind boggles.
Those leopards surely won’t eat my face.
Vote Face-Eating Leopards’ Party! We promise not to eat your face!
Yup. The Romanian diaspora is simultaneously being treated like undesirable immigrants, and wants immigrants in Romania to be thrown out to protect the “purity” of the country. A country they no longer live in, and have no intention of returning to.
Why can’t the fucking media stop calling the SPD “center-left”? There is nothing left left in the SPD, they are really just another neoliberal centrist party with right leaning tendencies, always ready to copy any half way successful right winger’s rhetoric and ideas.
That the SPD lost support of the lower classes is no surprise and a direct result of everything the SPD has done in the past 3 decades.
Of course, it’s monumentally stupid of the lower classes to flock to fascists instead, especially for people with immigrant background, but the AfD’s Propaganda is especially aimed at lower income demographics, and thanks to a whole bunch of parrots in the media and copycats in the “democratic” parties, they are gaining popularity instead of losing it.
The SPD was always like that. There is a quote by Tucholsky saying that about the SPD in 1932.
Translation by deepl, original below
“It is unfortunate that the SPD is called the Social Democratic Party of Germany. If, since August 1, 1914, it had been called the Reformist Party or the Party of the Lesser Evil or Here Families Can Make Coffee or something like that, the new name would have opened the eyes of many workers, and they would have gone where they belong: to a workers’ party. But as it is, the shop does its bad business under a formerly good name.”
“Es ist ein Unglück, daß die SPD Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands heißt. Hieße sie seit dem 1. August 1914 Reformistische Partei oder Partei des kleinern Übels oder Hier können Familien Kaffee kochen oder so etwas –: vielen Arbeitern hätte der neue Name die Augen geöffnet, und sie wären dahingegangen, wohin sie gehören: zu einer Arbeiterpartei. So aber macht der Laden seine schlechten Geschäfte unter einem ehemals guten Namen.”
You’re right, but the SPD also had a brief interlude where they actually did advocate and advance workers’ rights from the end of WW2 until the early 1980s.
Left, right and center depend on the country. In the German context the SPD is center left. Not because they would have been so in the past. The party certainly moved to the right, but because they support more left leaning policies then the CDU.
Eh. I’d say it’s center right, the c*u is right, there’s the fascists/far right and then you have the social democratic parties left of center like the greens and the linke.
Things don’t have to be relative in this context either. They’re also relative, but you can use more absolute criteria as well. Stuff like “wants no one to be coerced into employment” vs “wants some people coerced mildly” vs “wants to coerce everyone to be employed”. Or the converse with regards to social security. Or criteria relating to individual rights. Or regulation in favor of hierarchical power structures vs regulations in favor of non-hierarchical power structures. These would all be meaningful left-right aligned analytical lenses.
I do agree though that relative statements can for certain contexts be more immediately practical. But also, the case of the spd is one where thinking about the space of possible party landscapes is relevant: What if the spd were center-left, in the sense of reformist left-wing/labor movement/syndicalist-ish policies, instead of a seeheimer circle oriented mildly right-wing party? That would present a very different type of discourse in society, i feel.
I have to say. The way some outlets and people concentrate on second, third and fourth generation immigrants that vote the NSDAP 2.0, seems to me like the middle class germans are looking for a way to blame someone else but themself. The main voting bloc for the fascist is like everywhere else the middle class because they dont want to share with people they view as below them.
That’s what happens when you abolish the stasi. Not even 3 decades later they’re back to the third Reich
Germans can’t be trusted
You really think the Stasi (Secret Police in the former GDR, East Germany for those who don’t know) existed to protect the citizens from fascism? That’s the most outrageously boneheaded tankie propaganda I have ever read.
Oh they definitely existed to protect citizens from fascism. As a belgian person I’d sleep better at night knowing the Germans are under control
