Anything with “New Deal” in it is liberal.

The open-minded people of Germany are always willing to explore and experiment with innovative, new methods of totalitarianism that haven’t been tried yet.

The main efforts will involve clamping down on “disinformation” (any speech which contradicts the official narrative), subsidizing “trustworthy information” (fact checkers) and “the creation of incorruptible and secure digital identities for citizens” (you will not be allowed to post anonymously. The State WILL find you and punish you for “Bad Thought”)

"to create an Internet that supports democracy mob rule"

These are the people that shamelessly censor news and label any point of view they don't agree with as "hate speech".

Talk about the fox guarding the he house.

The “reformed”- National Socialists of post war Germany benefited mightily from the General Marshall Plan money that kept the Soviets from getting footholds in the economic destroyed wasteland that Hitler left them. This was the GAME

put in place also with spiriting out the spy networks of Admiral Canaris (the Gehlen) network— and puttng them to use against the massive Soviet infiltrates in divided Germany and Berlin.

That was a long time ago— and now the techie loving still SOCIALIST neo socialists are cashing in on US FUNDS.US Funds that should have long ago ceased, but are part of the grift, that Leftists Germans subsist on— while all the while working with the communists.(see: Merkel- an East German raised..”democrat”). The next generations of “de-nazified” (laws on the books, about “democratic” speech which is not allowed— extensive codified censorship, as part of the conquest of the Nazis— drawn up by US Liberals— and Communists with their pals in Soviet Germany). So polarized and institutionalized are the Nationalist Germans they cannot act to support the good part of their heritage. Because the commies will not let them.

The entire appearance of the nazis as a party was a result of Weimar germany economic nightmare and the nazis favoured by the German military Industrial complex as helping manage the communist run labor problems they were having. The communists then outnumbered the nazis/social democrats and all the other “progressive” liberal germans by many times.
