Germans are rightly sensitive to minimizing the legacy of Jew-hating in its history. Throughout the country, even in small towns and villages, memorials to deported and murdered Jews, in the form of stolpersteine, or stumbling stones, provide a jarring reminder of the toll taken by the Hitler regime.

Musk's joking minimization of the Nazi past and his cozying up to a party rooted in anti-semitism are despicable. AfD party leaders speak rhapsodically of Vaterland and Volk, buzzwords the Nazis regularly deployed, and have decried the Berlin Holocaust Memorial as a laughable abomination.

Another dishonest “nazi salute” reference. I hate these people.

Where, exactly, did Musk joke about the Holocaust?

>> caused at least some Jews ... to condemn him.

whatever — self-importance trumps the sober reality every time

Yes, they love their land and their people. So do I. So do Israelis.

Is there something wrong with that?

Or, to put it another way, if they DO NOT love their land and their people, what do you expect to happen to them? If we do not love our land and our people (for the sake of this discussion I presume you are an American), what do you expect to happen to us?

And if Israelis do not love their land and their people, what do you imagine will be their fate?

Follow revisionist history. It will alway bring you back to leftist atrocities being blamed on some ‘far right’.

The NAZIs were Socialist, not “Far Right.”

Saying this just days after giving a “nazi salute” does not improve the image sheeple have of him.

He wasn’t “jokingly minimizing” the Nazi past. Where are you coming up with this stupidity?

World War II ended 80 years ago. No German in 2025 is responsible for what happened in the past, nor should they feel shame for it. Feeling ashamed for what someone ELSE did is ridiculous. It shouldn’t be taboo to be proud to be German.

AMEN! I’ve been saying this for over 30 years. Mao and Stalin were even bigger mass murderers than Hitler. Do you see the Russians or the Chinese allowing themselves to be crippled by wallowing in feelings of guilt for the crimes of these dictatorships? No. Its way past time for the Germans to just get on with it and stop the constant self flagellation.

You have a lot to learn about the AfD, before you mouth off.
Do yourself a favor and do some research.
Do you consider yourself to be a conservative?
Did you listen to the Musk/Weidel discussion?
Did you see the clip where Musk supposably did a “Nazi salute ?”
From were did you copy and paste your # 1 post ?
If you want to chase down “real” neo-Nazis, go and dig around in THE Ukraine.
They are crawling with Nazis.

I think Musk and the AfD’s larger point is really about the future, as in, what future will Germans have if Germany is subsumed into a deranged amalgamated marxist Caliphate. Remembrances of the past are important, so is considering the future.

On the populist, nationalist right you will always get types who like to troll over their nation’s less savoury parts of history and say ‘lol based’. It doesn’t mean it would become party policy.

Besides, the leader of Afd is a lesbian in a mixed race partnership. She’d have been in a concentration camp in about 5 seconds under the third reich.

The youngest Adults who were following orders of Hitler are now 97 years old. The 96&Under crowd were all children. The 78&Under crowd were not even born. Change the 97, 96, and 78 numbers on what I just wrote to 98, 97, and 79 in late April. A lot of those people are dying, and they aren’t dying because they don’t have ObummerCare.

Shut up Troll. The AFD in Germany is actually to the left of the GOP. Germany has been run by commies for many years.
