    false, Germany has been backing the genocide in Palestine so it is not OK to be proud to be German

    germans are already plenty prideful in how much they’ve learned and changed from the mistakes of 1930s.

    (they didn’t, they only care about jewish part of holocaust)

      I honestly have more hatred for germany-cool than I do for amerikkka because of this. Smug liberal worms who talk about how much they’ve learned from their history and then go on to be satanically racist towards anyone who is Arab or Chinese or [insert whoever the media told them to hate this time]. I have not seen anyone else be as smug and nasty about it as the Germans.

      The only problem the average German has with the Holocaust is that it killed white people.

      I sure as hell don’t see any Germans waxing poetic about how much they’ve learned from committing genocide in Namibia.

    “I’m proud to be white.” said the based patriot.

    “I’m proud to be a person of color.” Said the worthless woke reverse-racist goody-two-shoes SJW! I hate you I hate you die die die!

    What makes this particularly dangerous is the open support from somebody from the US government. You see, like the NSDAP before them, the AfD does not wield the influence to govern on its own, the German electoral system makes coalitions practically a given. And the AfD used to be shunned by center-right parties due to fears of them being too close to Russia. US endorsement means that the CDU, Germany’s strongest party and the staunchest licker of Amerikan boot you can imagine, might see the last reason they ruled out a coalition falter.

      Trump being in the white house again and having so many corporations behind him has seemingly really emboldened the “center-right” to go even more ham on any of their ridiculous and short sighted policy goals. I’d give it 50/50 whether we get a CDU/AfD coalition

    He’s gone to the roots! Though, if you’re a person who goes to far-right gatherings it’s not ok to be proud, were you a citizen of any country.

      Not to be confused with their more successful tulip-obsessed nederlanders, erroneously called that.

    It’s amazing. And it’s not that long ago that a scenario where the richest man in the world would promote a German Nazi party was outside anybody’s wildest imagination.

      I just automatically assume that anyone rich enough is a cryptofascist, so I was not surprised in the slightest.
