Thousands of people across Germany have taken to the streets for a fourth consecutive day to voice their opposition to the far-right populist AfD party after politicians from the party met neo-Nazis to discuss a “master plan” for the mass deportation of asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin.
Protests have taken place in Leipzig, Rostock, Essen and Berlin in recent days.
The AfD’s leadership has sought to distant itself from the gathering in November on the outskirts of Potsdam, west of Berlin, which was revealed by the investigative journalism network Correctiv on Wednesday. However, several party members were involved and have since voiced their support for the ideas discussed.
Yeah this is sadly based mostly off of the fact that the world is not good right now. There’s a lot of larger-than-life issues, and none where a single person can, without impacting their personal quality of life significantly, make a dent in. And probably not even then.
This makes a lot of desperate, confused and fearful people very easy targets for a party such as the AfD telling them it’s all just lies, there is no climate change, there is no pandemic, no nothing, and grab easy voters that way so they can push their actual agend, being nazis and getting themselves rich.
(Because as always they keep lying about how they’re fighting for the common folk, but if you look at what their politicians actually vote, it’s always empowered rich, removing restrictions, easing tax theft, and putting more financial strain on the common workers)
