Novi, do you think that tomorrow there will be an AfD representative in Auschwitz for the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the camp? (By your beloved Red Army, by the way.)
....frankly IMHO the AfD is incredible successful from the opposition bank right now! There is no need to become part of the gov.
The "old" parties can't do to much differently than the AfD demands, knowing the majority of the people is behind her (in the migration question).....tricky situation for her enemies and a truly sweet spot for Weidel, Höcke and Co!
Think back to '89.....the end of "history"! For decades highly guarded borders fell and people were able to move again....open borders were seen widely as a good thing, meaning freedom!
The other big part was that the economies internationalized....wandering worker masses meant less production costs because of lower salaries....for a few decades lotsa people profited from open borders and open economies, from unified countries....nobody thought that would ever change, but change it did!
The age of globalization is now ending, the economies are about to be re-nationalized....hence the anti-immigration movements are winning....at the end will be re-build borders.
But you can't say that only leftist morons were for open borders....quite the contrary....they did build an unholy alliance with the great capital, the big firms, their sworn enemy, to keep the borders open and the cheapest workforce coming. I doubt they have accepted and acknowledged that fact till now actually....
And that most leftists don't acknowledge the fact that their vision and ideals helps mainly the big rich capital and their firms supports your judgement that they are just not very bright! *shrugs*
We can't do much here to help Germany but that dam shows cracks in the US already. Once it starts tumbling down, the urge to replicate it elsewhere will be irresistible.
Trump was the start....now all depends if and how he "delivers". Is he successful than his allies in Europe can and will build on that, the world is watching!
This is because liberal leadership in countries such as The Netherlands or Sweden for instance lost touch with their majority white, native born electorate, not too dissimilar to the US!

Two points:
1. They never were "in touch".
2. They deliberately did everything possible to stay out of touch to have that "we just didn't know" BS deniability.
Only naive suckers aka bootlickers believe that it was not deliberate. The same idiots belive that PH was "sneaky" and "shocking".
Let's face it, what happened to minority groups during the Second World War, above all in Nazi Germany, remains unspeakably horrific, a watershed, regarding which, even over eighty-five years later, human language fails us miserably.
More so than in the US, Germany has spent nearly all that time ever since bending over ass backwards to try to make paltry amends to both Jews as well as Roma in order to ensure that nothing similar in future emanates from German soil EVER AGAIN!!
In Germany to an exaggerated degree, the pendulum has now swung in the polar opposite direction and has for the past forty-odd years, so that presently, nearly everything "foreign", for a while, "American", (not necessarily "Jewish") has been forced to be deemed good and practically everything "German" has been forced to be deemed bad, ugly, shameful. This neurotically out of focus perspective has resulted in the current FRG and it needs to be centered so that true perspective, if perhaps normalcy" can for the first time finally be achieved.
Only then, can Germans honestly and comfortably celebrate their German identity and arrive at economic balance, in the end being fair to all their workers, especially, indeed exclusively, in the manufacturing sector.
Rich, guilt has no statute of limitations! Those so unmercifully wrenched from our midst for no other reason than solely because of who rather than what they were, are that lasting testament to the extent of state sanctioned sadism, doubtless without historical precedent. The seed which spawned a Hitler and his minions is still nestled within the soil of that country and cannot be expunged unless the nation is constantly vigilant.
A lot easier said than done, I'm afraid. None of us is an automaton and we all have feelings which on occasion back up into our daily decision making, ward off against such subjective emotions as we may try.
In a perfect world or if we were all Mr. Spock, we might indeed be able to compartmentalize our emotions. Unfortunately, we're only human and can only ask for divine forgiveness.
Certainly eighty years ago, in the scheme of things, is but a drop in the bucket and for survivors, with or without therapy, is as though it happened yesterday!
