what the fuck is the deal with the German left? why are they like this?
The lesson they got from doing the Holocaust was not "genocide is bad" but "Jews are good." Israel is a chance for them to support both.
Intense moralism combined with repressed nationalism. This same dynamic will lead to some switch flipping someday that turns them full-on literal Nazi.
Many (even if admittedly a minority) Antideutsche, especially those affiliated with the magazine "Bahamas" started supporting the AfD in the wake of the refugee crisis of 2015.
Racism and the destruction of the East German left
The aberration of west German "leftism" took over the "left" of Germany and they've never dealt with racism in their ranks or the larger society
Plus all the underground and latent nazism that survived the war
Imagine an entire country made up of Twitter weebs who long for Imperial Japan
There must be some Germans who starts out joining the left out of good reasons, like wanting to stop racism or climate destruction or poverty and then something happens and they're out there making their great grandfathers proud by supporting Lebensraum and genocide.
What the fuck is going on?
Funny how everyone finds plausible-sounding explanations for why "the left" in Germany does this, while the truth is simply, that this is a propaganda piece. A tiny group posts this and suddenly it's "the left". The actual left is vehemently and overwhelmingly and very, very much verbal about the genocide and freeing Palestine.
I wonder who spun it in a way to discredit all leftists... who could possibly gain from such a thing...?
lmao most of the german "left" are greens who want to nuke Russia, burn coal and create greater Israel, like let's not front
Where is this ground swell of support for Palestine? The polls in Germany are disgusting and the fact there are groups presenting as leftists who are comfortable enough parading genocide rhetoric further confirms the point that there is no real left in Germany, aside from disparate student groups here and there
I mean, if you include liberals, then that's basically every western country.
