First France, now Germany. Seems Europe (at least some of us) has decided it won’t sit idly and let far-right extremists burn us to the ground.
Although these are all provisional fixes. The true solution would be to get the people to ditch these idiots, and to do that, we need to fight disinformation and far-right propaganda on social media. Democracy can’t survive if the voting base is too ignorant to choose its leaders.
US social media is the vector for that infection…
You’re kidding right? Far right extremist thought bubbles websites predate social media
But you used to have to go find them. Now they’re being inserted right into your feed.
Yeah you should ban their media, books, speech & lock them up. That’ll teach them about fascism alright.
On a more serious note, all this decision by Germany does is make groups like AfD stronger.
You can’t fight fascism on the marketplace of ideas. The moment you sit at the table to talk, they spring up and punch you in the face.
Limiting circulation of fake news, holding those who spread it accountable, and forcing social networks to moderate their platform if they want to operate in the EU, should be the priority.
“fight disinformation” =/= " ban their media, books, speech & lock them up"
You really gave that strawman a good beating though.
Found the nazi.
Surprised fascist claims anti fascists are wrong and should stop fighting fascism. More news at 11.
I think the grand plan is to find somebody who messes up Europe from the inside, so that Americans don’t notice the difference too much.
They’re not happy with just Hungary, it seems
That’s what the AfD was for, no? :^)
lol stfu Rubio. They are a right wing extremist group. Feel free to read the damning evidence over 1000(!!!) pages
Who cares what Reek has to say
Marco Rubio can eat the peanuts out of my shit.
With best regards from a hopefully soon fascist-free Germany.
Germany really doesn’t care what he feels.
well that just validates this decision
Lil’ Marco can eat a Costco size bag of dicks
Defending violent nazis and rolling back all environmental laws that regarding gas ovens
These people have a strange oven fixation. They must want to bake a lot of bread.
See, this is why he was confirmed unanimously.
Yes, Classify AfD as extremists.
Because that worked so well with the NSDAP…
(Want to clarify, yes, AfD is bad. I just think we are cooked at this point)
