AFD – Reise Nach Orbanien

The Jewish community of Frankfurt am Main is concerned. The fact that numerous young voters have chosen “in some right -wing extremists” AfD in the Bundestag election. One is irritated: The party would have to do this success miraculously, “although it has expressed itself openly racist, anti -Semitic, hostile and historical revisionist”. The mistake that is present here is unfortunately the old one: even after all the years in which the AfD, supported by almost all media, operates its concept of democracy destruction and the entire political spectrum is still not understood to the right, has still been understood that the party is not chosen, “although” it “racist and anti -Semitic”, but rather weil she does that.

What you do not want to admit, although it is open: With the “concerned citizen” – as another, no less idiotic language regulation of the media – it could actually be a citizen with largely “solid right -wing worldview” (this is one further language regulation to avoid the word “neo -Nazi”).

The so-called commemorative and remembrance culture, which has been practiced since the German post-war period,- at least the official, which served above all, to calm down abroad and not to endanger the company’s profit gains of the “export world champion”- has, as it turns out, in large parts of the German population leave visible traces. On the contrary: the “historical education world champion” Germany has basically only operated his annoying memory business with compulsory and vicinity: which continued on annual days and the ritual headwack, hand folding and kneeling of professional politicians before memorial, which is reminiscent of the Schoa concerned citizens as submission gestures over the former Allies And considered a slimming with “the Jews”.

The whine, which has been reliably accompanying the allegedly permanent thematization of the Holocaust in the media and the lack of “conclusion” among German Nazi past, has not escaped those who have a somewhat more precise manner in the past eight decades. The defense anti-Semitism was and is permanently present. Sentences such as “It was not all bad under Hitler” or “Now must finally be over with this topic”, which used to be heard mostly at relevant regulars’ tables and back rooms, are now inflationary and are particularly popular in the talk shows in the every evening presented the “social media teams” of the big television channels as “exciting spectator opinion”.

It is this deep -seated mix of resentment, repression, the feeling of shortening, authoritarian and ethnic thinking patterns and steel anti -communism that is rumpling and encountered by right -wing politicians of every strip.

This majority, which supposedly “can think” and “still has all the cups in the closet” (Friedrich Merz), showed last Sunday where the journey should go politically: in a state a la Trump, Orbán, Putin, in the Right -wing extremists determine the political agenda, which, fueled by the media, is implemented by the conservatives and the remaining Social Democrats. Until they will disappear, they are no longer needed at some point. Or, as the cabaret artist Gerhard Polt once formulated: »No one here with us is forced to be a minority. One of them has the right to commit themselves to the majority. “

Incidentally, this mindset is not limited to the staff and electorate of the AfD. When looking at the crowds that Friedrich Merz cheered frenetically when he insulted all those who were still opposed to an AfD state shortly before the Bundestag election, as “left and green spinners”, it was noticeable that apparently the pleasure of Several or three wheat beers seem to be able to create an atmosphere in the case of gatherings of the new “German Mitte”, which between Bachelor party owes and the Reich Party mood oscillated.
