Below is an election campaign video (AI-generated) that was released by the AfD (Alternative für Deutschland, Alternative for Germany) last month for the recent elections. The government is now trying to prosecute the AfD for using it.
Many thanks to Schwabe for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling: [AfD campaign ad with English subtitles at link]
The following excerpt (also translated by Schwabe) about the government’s actions is from an article posted by the Austrian portal Freilich Magazin:
The [government] media institute [MABB] asserts that the concept of “impairment” includes disturbances and damage to psychological and social development [of children].
A depiction that “creates a threat scenario emanating from people with dark skin colour and hair” has the potential to for negatively affect young people’s ability to socialize and promote stigmatizing and discriminatory behaviour patterns.
In its evaluation of the video, the MABB therefore concludes that the persons depicted are divided into “good” and “evil”, which violates the “tolerance imperative” and leads to “social-ethical disorientation”.

Video transcript:
00:00 You decide. You decide if the center of your town
00:04 gets to keep its weekly market, or a drug market.
00:08 Whether the trains finally run on time again,
00:11 or the train station becomes a crime scene.
00:14 You decide if parents can send their children to school without worrying,
00:19 or whether the fear of playground violence causes sleepless nights.
00:23 Whether Brandenburg even means offering perspective
00:28 or loss of prosperity and foreign infiltration.
00:32 You decide if your hard earned money is spent on bike paths in Peru
00:35 or for healthy roads in your homeland.
00:38 Whether it will be invested in your future
00:42 or in the future of strangers
00:45 You decide whether the county of Brandenburg remains the land of pine forests
00:48 or if it becomes a windmill monstrosity.
00:51 Whether there the kindergartens and schools are renovated or new asylum centers are built.
00:56 You decide whether things should continue as they are or whether we change course.
01:01 You decide. Make your decision on the 22nd September for the AfD.
01:10 It’s time.
Trump needs an ad like that!
Trump would be crucified as a racist if he put out an ad like that.
So?
The ad should be used here. I guess that makes me a racist. So be it.
No-one’s going to talk about the windmills which were clearly built by a race of Terminators seeking to wipe out the last vestiges of organic humans?
Goofy, creepy smiles.
So it does not work to just show actual differences in behavior and cultural decency or coexistance vs contempt?
Why the WW2 propaganda outlandishness when there is so much reality?
The ADF stepped on a rake and left itself open to this criticism by showing only the contrast between races. That is not the point the point is the contrast between cultures and you don't need a black and white divide to show it.
I'm quite sure the are many minorities who support the ADF and are just as angry as many white people at what is being done to their country and culture. Including a few would have made the add 10X more effective.
That's part of Trumps magic. He supports all Americans, race has nothing to do with it.
I don't know if this was intentional but is was unforced error that any person with some intelligence person could have seen coming.
The ADF needs to fire their marketing firm and watch a few Trump adds.
The article is about the WHITE leftists in Germany trying to jail the AfD for the ad.
Uhhh, not the best phrase to use.
I understand, all I'm saying is that the AfD should know better and not give them ammo.
Agreed. But does it deserve jail time from those who orchestrated the third world invasion to destroy Western Civilization?
Of course not.
Could they really do any worse to him than they already do?
