Deportation, use deportation. Remigration is an euphemism for deporting those deemed unworthy as their culture or genetics don't match the arbitrary fascist ideals.

This nearly always happens when the far right is reported on. They use these neologisms so that they can pretend they're absolutely not the same as every other fascist movement in history; they don't want to deport anyone because they're talking about "remigration".

All the liberal parties took a hard right turn on immigration recently. They're now advocating stuff that used to be far-right only a couple of years ago. If this anything to go on, they'll do mass deportations probably next year, whether the AfD is in power or not.

Germany's economy is deep in the gutter and they need a scapegoat

[–] B0rax@feddit.de 1 points 10 months ago

Is it though? The DAX is continuously climbing.

I agree, a lot is not going well, but saying the economy in Germany is struggling is a hard stretch.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


On January 10, the investigative journalism group Correctiv reported on a meeting of politicians from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) and neo-Nazis in a hotel in Potsdam in November.

"The plans to expel millions of people are reminiscent of the darkest chapter in German history," wrote Christian Dürr, parliamentary group leader of the neoliberal Free Democrats (FDP), the smallest member of the centrist coalition government.

In numerous essays, Sellner has written about the need to deport "asylum fraudsters" and "non-citizens who represent a cultural, economic and criminological burden" - as should "non-assimilated naturalized citizens".

"We must finally deport on a large scale those who have no right to stay in Germany," said Chancellor Olaf Scholz of the center-left Social Democratic party (SPD) last autumn, in response to widespread calls for a reduction in the numbers of asylum seekers.

A day later, AfD co-chairman Tino Chrupalla wrote in response to the discussion of the expulsion plans: "We invite Germans with a history of migration to join us in creating a change for the better."

"If the Office for the Protection of the Constitution and the security authorities see sufficient evidence here for launching the procedure to ban the party, then it must be considered," Strobl said in an interview with public broadcaster SWR.


The original article contains 897 words, the summary contains 212 words. Saved 76%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

So the AfD are fine up until they threaten the corporate labour pool?

No, but they maintained a thin veneer of “reasonable citizen”-ness. So far “individuals” have let the mask slip, but it hasn't been demonstrably revealed that they had a big anti-constitutional plan.

Nobody who has any sense ever doubted that they had, but until now, they weren't dumb enough to slip up.
