    I think that if you’re being booed by AfD, there’s a good chance you’re on the right track

      Germany in particular, but it didn’t work so well for everyone. The saying “history repeats itself” seemed like an abstract mantra when I was a kid. We beat the Nazis, I watched the wall fall, the iron curtain fell, the cold war was over. We were past all that. We did it. We never had to use those incredible skills of crawling under our elementary school desks and covering our heads in the event of a nuclear attack. Yet history repeats itself.

    I bet you they’d be crying out for the world’s support if the fight ever came to their doorstep. Sure would be nice of them to support the fight to defend somebody else’s, but right-wing folks never seem to be able to see past their own noses.

      No, of course not. They are for Russian nazis.

      Some are even completely insane to cheer for every centimeter of Russian gains as a small step closer to Germany’s liberation from US occupation.
