    And skimmed right past the parts where it says they are also climate change deniers, pro-Russia, anti-Muslim, nationalistic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist and this part

    In early March 2021, most of Germany’s major media outlets reported that the Bundesverfassungsschutz had placed the whole AfD under surveillance as a “suspected extremist group”.

    Maybe you should scroll a bit slower next time.

      Yeah, probably. I should’ve put a little more time into it before commenting.

      TBH, I have very little knowledge on Germany’s political scene, I only ever really hear about AfD and how Germany’s hate speech laws are abused. Also the Volkswagen emissions scandal. Kind of an irrelevant country at this point, they can’t even meet their NATO obligations.

        So your knowledge of Germany consists in large parts of some populist talking points and yet you jumped at the first opportunity to defend an extremely right-wing party and downplay their policies. That’s… a choice.

          Nah, the AfD keeps coming up, I figured I should be somewhat informed. When I got confused, I asked a question.

          And being real, lemmy is rad left. When I hear Nazi, I think “Ah, someone disagreed with an asshole”, and I don’t think “Hitler”.

        What the hell are you talking about?

        they can’t even meet their NATO obligations

        2% of the gdp on defense, perhaps?

        That was agreed on for this year, which has only just begun!

        Let’s wait another year at least, when this year’s numbers are published, ok?

        I have very little knowledge on Germany’s political scene

        That’s more than obvious.
