He thinks it's controversial to not let migrants (men, women and children) drown and die, and has no problem promoting a party which is full of nazi sympathizers.

He's a sociopath, a racist and a fascist.

And those likely aren't even his worst characteristics, given the stories of sexual assault, links to Epstein, and the fact his father married his own daughter.

That's why he loves the letter X so much. With a slight modification, it becomes a swastika.

He's building a Tesla factory in Germany. So that might be why. Also it's not just a right wing party, but the most extreme right wing party in Germany that isn't forbidden yet.

The fact that this gets media coverage like it even remotely matters is madness. Will there be media coverage of my posts on the topic, since it's suddenly world news when a private American citizen comments on what is happening in another country..

He's a Nazi and he supports Nazi's

I wish the news would just pretend he doesn't exist. I'm so tired of him.

Does ignoring influential fascists make them stop trying to increase their influence? Or make them stop being fascists?

Maybe we should ask Neville Chamberlain how well that works?

Many of the worlds problems have happened because people ignored them till it was too late

In 2022, it was ruled that the BfV may classify and monitor the entire party as a suspected right-wing extremist group. A corresponding lawsuit by the AfD was dismissed because "there were sufficient factual indications of anti-constitutional efforts within the AfD".[36] On 26 April 2023, the BfV, after four years of investigations into the Young Alternative for Germany, categorized that group as a confirmed extremist organization. This allowed the chief of the BfV Thomas Haldenwang to place the youth wing under even more intensive surveillance than the tapping of phone and the use of undercover agents that had been the case until then.[45][46]

Just summarizing here. They are right wing extremists that have taken over old Nazi talking points and are gaining popularity with anti immigration, anti climate change and populist propaganda.

He's been cheering for nazis for ages by now. Doesn't that make him a nazi?

He's fucking with fish that are way bigger than him.

Or better, seize all his peoperty and money

I hope that if he steps foot in any country that experienced the horrors of Nazism, that the locals take to the streets to forcefully eject him from the country. He should be denied entry by the EU entirely.

Edit: I also hopes Germany does something about the AfD, who don't appear to be congruous with Nazi anti-glorification laws.

Considering that recent polls show the AfD at ~30% in some states, I doubt banning it will work. The only reasons it's gotten this big is abysmal politics by the current and former govt. I'm pretty sure banning it is only going to make things worse. And I am not at all convinced you can truly consider them ban worthy like actual Nazis, even though the current govt would very much like you to think this way.
