Elon Musk is under fire after publicly backing a far-right political party in Germany, suggesting the current government should not be re-elected over its position on the current migrant crisis in Europe.
They are remarkably close to being able to push the “ethnic cleansing” button. They have stated their motive, they are close to achieving the means (their popularity is not far behind what Nazis were when they took power).
A personal anecdote: in 2020 entertained a German visitor (who never offered up a party affiliation, but it can be inferred) for a few hours at a bar. They managed to convey all sorts of political views supporting suppression of others but stopped short of directly calling for genocide. However any reasonable conversationalist would understand what they meant. The closest thing I can think of for this in English is “dogwhistling”, however I am convinced there is a better German word for it.
If they come to power they will cut taxes for the rich and make everyone of the norm suffer in one way or another. But ofc they are boasting about being “the voice of the people”.
And they are hypocrites, like one influential woman in this party that regulary insults the LGBT+ community and wants to ban homosexual marriage is married herself to a woman in switzerland.
