It is part of AfD’s standard platform that LGBTQ people receive fewer rights than straight people,
They’ve supported civil unions but not gay marriage, but consider it a settled issue. Their leader, Alice Weidel, is a lesbian woman with a Sri Lankan partner.
and that all foreigners should be rounded up and deported
The AfD has many immigrant supporters and members. That secret meeting they supposedly had, about “deporting immigrants who refuse to assimilate”? It was a random far-right crank meeting in which a single AfD member attended, and was alienated from his party for doing so. This is what Alice Weidel had to say about it, translated:
Untrue allegations of the most outrageous media and political scandals, ladies and gentlemen. These are DDR methods. I think it’s great that they’re now writing everything down in detail. Private encounter between personalities with different backgrounds, including one AfD member and people without party reservations. It wasn’t a secret meeting either, just a private gathering that these corrective activists used secret service methods to construct a conspiracy theory from.
The Bundestag faction on how to deal with the millions of irregular and illegal migration since 2015 is not set in alleged secret meetings, but in party conference committees. It is based on the basic program of 2016 in the EU election program and the numerous statements and parliamentary speeches you can read and listen to. All right state resources to prevent illegal border crossings through more effective border controls. To revoke citizenships obtained illegally from criminals who are not entitled to naturalization. To expel and deport migrants who are criminals and terrorist suspects who do not have a right to stay.
Whoever is a German citizen belongs without question, without a doubt, to the German people. This is precisely why German citizenship must not be lost and distributed with a watering can. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the enforcement of applicable law and regulations that have been neglected by the government for almost a decade in this process.
I certainly don’t agree with them, but their platform is basically American Republican “tough on border and illegal immigrants” and “limiting and prioritizing skills based immigration” style.
This kind of disinformation is exactly how 2016 happened in the US. Trump says he wants to build a wall and curb illegal immigration, liberals say he wants to kick every Latino out of the country, his supporters get to shout “fake news” at everything. Calling them Nazis only feeds their supporters’ victim complex; it’s like Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” but 100x worse, and AfD politicians get to go “you’re upstanding citizens, but the woke left see you as evil for caring about your country. They’re the real Nazis.”
There are extremist minority politicians of the AfD who like to dogwhistle of course, which is also functionally the same as the GOP. Except if an AfD politician ever said something like “immigrants poison the blood of our country” as Trump did, they would be arrested.
I don’t understand your point of saying the AfD are comparable to standard American Republicans as if that’s a defense of them. I also believe Republicans should all be lined up and shot.
"So, you compare a country from what it came from, with all it’s imperfections. And those who demand instant perfection the day after the revolution, they go up and say “Are there civil liberties for the fascists? Are they gonna be allowed their newspapers and their radio programs, are they gonna be able to keep all their farms? The passion that some of our liberals feel, the day after the revolution, the passion and concern they feel for the fascists, the civil rights and civil liberties of those fascists who are dumping and destroying and murdering people before. Now the revolution has gotta be perfect, it’s gotta be flawless. Well that isn’t my criteria, my criteria is what happens to those people who couldn’t read? What happens to those babies that couldn’t eat, that died of hunger? And that’s why I support revolution. The revolution that feeds the children gets my support. "

Yeah I just don’t care about right-wingers and their precious civil rights. They’re a fungus growing on the world from decaying capitalism. I have no sympathy for them whatsoever and don’t regard them as valid political opponents. They’re a death spiral menace to the world with nothing meaningful to contribute
The majority of the world aren’t people actively involved in organizing and maintaining fascist organizations, right? If that’s the case I don’t give a shit about them. Keep those types powerless and isolated, remove the material conditions that give rise to fascist tendencies in the first place.
Why not kill Republicans by the way? Bush Jr. killed a million Iraqis. Trump mediated a genocide against Yemen. Mitch McConnell is already a walking zombie. What is gained from keeping them alive? I’m not talking about killing Republican voters or someone who has a bumper sticker. That’s too much work to bother with. I’m talking about Republicans directly managing American empire for the benefit of capital. The average right wing voter is just some loser who deserves re-education.
When have Republicans mass murdered their political dissidents? Another tool of fascists: extreme hyperbole.
If you think they’re so dangerous to society, VOTE THEM OUT, reshape the system, hell the bar them from office! Massacring them just makes YOU the fascist
When have Republicans mass murdered their political dissidents?
Every war America has ever involved itself in, plus an absurd amount of massacred and lynched prisoners, civil rights activists and random black and indigenous people, plus every victim of America’s fascist puppet governments abroad, plus everyone who starves to death in capitalist countries where food is locked up to rot, plus everyone who dies of covid due to our non-response, ect. We would literally be here all day if I wanted to list out everyone the American capitalist oligarchy and it’s decorative “parties” has slaughtered on the altar of capital.

Oh, is it the most important election of our lifetime again already?
Massacring them just makes YOU the fascist
Lol, there’s no shame in admitting you don’t know what fascism is dude. It’s not transmissible like Lycanthropy, and it’s not When Violence. Also, how the fuck do you think the nazis were stopped. You think they were voted out?
Although if massacring nondescript “dissenters” is what makes a government fascist, I’m glad we at least share the correct opinion that the US is fascist.

Do you realize how fascist you sound?
Is fascism just a tone of voice to you?
I mean there certainly is a tone to fascism. That and mass murdering your political dissidents

I have no sympathy for them whatsoever and don’t regard them as valid political opponents. They’re a death spiral menace to the world with nothing meaningful to contribute
I get the feeling a large majority of the world’s population are reactionary fascists by one standard or another to you.
Also, I’m not even necessarily against the idea of censoring Republicans, but KILLING them?

I think Trump should be imprisoned, not KILLED. Why are you so lustful for blood and guts? Good lord
Which according to you is bad, but using force to stop it is equally as bad. Liberalism, everybody
