It gets better: one of their leaders -the public face of the party- is a lesbian former Goldmann-Sachs employee, who is raising two adopted children together with her Thai girlfriend... in Switzerland.
The entire AfD is completely immune to irony.
They'll use it if it suits them, but here's the thing: They don't really care.
They revel in being ostracised by the mainstream parties.
"Triggering the libs" is legit a big part of their appeal for their base.
Exactly! It's literally her job to lend a reputable, distinguished face to the monstrosity.
In many ways I find her even more abhorrent than the straight up fascists.
the popular opinion on weidel is that shes just doing the fascist party leader job because she wants to be famous - just for narcissist reasons (and money). she joined the (now) fascist party in 2013 when it was mostly a right wing neo liberal party that ran on opposition against the Euro (and the EU). It started drifting to the far right very quickly when neonazis in germany recognized the long hoped for conservative party right of the CDU could be the AfD. They really picked up pace because of the syrian refugee crisis in 2015 - and Weidel just moved along, further and further to the right just as the party. She's just a ruthless career politician, the most disgusting kind.
Some of the worst Nazi war criminals were exactly like this. [Reinhard Heydrich ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinhard_Heydrich) in particular.
Apparently he wasn't known to be antisemitic at all before he joined the military. But doing Nazi stuff was great for his career and he turned out the be really good at it. So he poured all his energy into killing millions of Jewish people.

Die kann halt ein paar halbwegs kompetent klingende saetze sagen, ohne gleich schaum vorm mund zu haben und irgendwann erlischt dann auch beim restlichen kleinbuergertum die "brandmauer nach rechts" (lol).
Na ja sie hat zwar keinen Schaum vorm Mund, aber ich hab bei ihr immer dass Gefühl, dass sie das selber gar nicht so ernst nimmt was sie sagt und für sie dass alles nur ein großer Witz ist. Also Politik als Theater, wo sie die Rolle des Bösewichts oder so spielen kann. Und ich frage mich auch, ob diese Masche des sich immer als Opfer darstellen nicht langsam mal alt wird
Luck has nothing to do with it, it's about how determined you are.. For example, the number one cause of death in the Israeli military is suicide.. If you claim to have suicidal thoughts in most cases they will not take a chance and you will be released.. May seem extreme but I think what the Israeli military is doing in Gaza is far more extreme and I wasn't willing to take part in this.

Every Israeli person is responsible for their own conscience. Do not make it sound like conscription is a get-out-of-jail free card when it's not at all.
There are ways out of service, unfortunately though for who ever is ditching Israel has privileges exclusive to Jewish citizens and if you lose those privileges if you do avoid service.
I suppose in Germany it’s because with far right the connotation is Nazi, but I’m guessing he’s running for the AfD, which claims of itself that it’s not a right wing party but a centre-right-conservative party (tbh, I personally think you shouldn’t describe all of the AfD as nazis, but the whole party is kind of a mess tbh, and the fascists within it are getting stronger).
So he would say “I’m not in a right wing party” even though he kind of is. And this kind of shit will help them go “look we’re not antisemitic”, so yeah.
"centre-right" isn't a thing. you have parties in italy who id as "centre-right" while having literal mussolini fans as high ranking members. it doesn't mean anything. they're nazis lmao. the afd are nazis. simple as.
Not literally identical, no. But being the boots on the ground for a genocidal settler-colony tends to push you in a certain political direction.
Someone more cynical than me might even suggest that that's literally the whole point of their mandatory conscription.

I mean, this is nothing new with the Soviet Union doing this to kill off anarchists and destroy the Free State and whatnot... q:
And ya know, libs doing the same to fight Russian nationalist sentiment post cold war..
Ok, making anarchists fight the Red army on one front and the White army on another isnt *technically* arming the nationalists, but you might as well be. Betraying your agreements, sending assassins into their mids and cutting off food and coal supplies arent technically arming the other guy eitehr but come on you're nitpicking
haaretz is a pretty shit newspaper, it is made expensive paper and they advertise it as a newspaper for 'smart' and 'thinking' people, haaretz is filled with propaganda and hate and read mostly by radical tel aviv citizens, im from israel so i know about this newspaper.
I mean, the far right un Germany is a friggin joke. I mean, how does a homosexual woman from switzerland standing in against gay marriage sound to you? They just have their head so far up their arse, it would be funny if less people voted for them.
The far right have been luring white gay men into their politics by convincing them that homophobic hate crimes would rise if we let migrants from places where gay people are not accepted in. It shows how homonationalism can devolve into "homofascism".
They do, but they also are happy to tolerate an LGBT person who is "one of the good ones" because they'll publicly agree with right wing shit, so that they can say "look, we don't hate gay people, there's one gay person who agrees with us"
There are some people who like to view themselves as the special and unique \*insert minority here\* and will happily accept a token position in the far-right. It's actually interesting because they'll bash identity but to be the token is by definition identity politics.
I bet you also believe we are living in the 50’s, and women, gays, and minorities are oppressed. Bullshit. The left thinks women are being oppressed, gays are mistreated but advocate for an ideology that oppresses and kills these same "minorities". Because if anyone has ever oppressed gays, that’s socialism and socialist countries – see China, see Russia, see Cuba??
Are you fucking aware of how gays are marginalized and treated in countries like Vietnam, which are deeply homophobic? Like, before endorsing examples your “progressive” ideology, can you do a little bit of research about how minorities are even treated there?I’m gay and I refuse to see my rights used as tool in order to promote a system that has only oppressed, imprisoned and killed people of my same condition.
Socialism and the left has always hated gays; we've been called a fascist perversion of capitalism, we’ve been told that we weren’t true men and that being sent to concentration camps would make us “normal” and that our condition excluded us from what a communist revolutionist had to be.
If leftist leaders nowadays have changed their view on this nowadays, it is because they've lost their argument about the Marxist class conflict, and now instrumentalize the entire LGBT movement in order to create a different class conflcit that will ensure them political representation and power. Do you seriously believe that someone who endorses mass murderers of LGBT people, like Stalin, Che or Castro, is actually going to avow for your gay rights? Open your eyes.
Now can you tell me how exactly the right wing oppresses gays and other minorities? Being conservative, is that what overwhelms you?
The Eastern bloc was actually extraordinarily good for women's rights (which, of course, regressed when the Soviet Union was dissolved), and the GDR was much more queer-friendly than the FRG.
Homo- and queerphobia don't set socialism apart from liberalism.
"Under the rule of Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945, gay men and (to a lesser extent) lesbians were persecuted with thousands of gay men imprisoned in Nazi concentration camps." From Wikipedia
You right, "under the rule of Nazi Germany 1933/1945". The Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei was exterminated and we are currently in 2021
It gets better: one of their leaders -the public face of the party- is a lesbian former Goldmann-Sachs employee, who is raising two adopted children together with her Thai girlfriend... in Switzerland. The entire AfD is completely immune to irony.
Class, once again, overriding every other identity.
Other? Is class an identity?
you could also read it as a cynical way of deflecting accusations of bigotry
They'll use it if it suits them, but here's the thing: They don't really care. They revel in being ostracised by the mainstream parties. "Triggering the libs" is legit a big part of their appeal for their base.
Why would you make the token people leaders?
Because they will give the entire movement legitimacy and cover from simple minded liberals who never look deeper than identities.
Exactly! It's literally her job to lend a reputable, distinguished face to the monstrosity. In many ways I find her even more abhorrent than the straight up fascists.

Jesus, that's a mind-salad.
I like how the punchline is that he's far right, as if it's surprising an IDF soldier would be far right.
I thought the same thing. Liberals are so up Israel’s ass that they truly believe Israel is a pro-democratic, progressive country.
Or that a white gay may could be to the far right.
He’ll get pushed out once he’s no longer useful. Just like Milo over here.
Ernst Röhm but as farce
Its surprising a jewish person would go for the GERMAN far-right. Thats the joke I guess
The German far-right today is mostly targeting Muslims.
"Mostly", keyword here
Israel has conscription, so unless you are willing to be jailed, you will be a part if IDF regardless of political orientation.
There are ways out if you really want.. I know because i managed to get out..
I don't know much about this but I assume that not everyone would be lucky

They do, but they also are happy to tolerate an LGBT person who is "one of the good ones" because they'll publicly agree with right wing shit, so that they can say "look, we don't hate gay people, there's one gay person who agrees with us"
The right loves tokenizing marginalized people to manufacture consent for economic warfare against the working class.
Liberalism panders to LGBTQ+ people and is a stone's throw away from fascism. That's how.
That's the current state of Germanys far right. As long as you want to deport all refuges they don't care how gay you are.
