Germany just gave its spy agency new powers to surveil the opposition. That’s not democracy—it’s tyranny in disguise.
What is truly extremist is not the popular AfD—which took second in the recent election—but rather the establishment’s deadly open border immigration policies…

On Friday the Verfassungschutz, modern Germany’s top domestic intelligence agency, designated the Fourth Reich party Alternative for Germany (AfD) as a right-wing extremist organization which, well no shit that’s their branding, but with it comes enhanced surveillance. “The ethnicity- and ancestry-based understanding of the people prevailing within the party is incompatible with the free democratic order,” wrote Verfassungschutz officials in a statement and, well, a spade’s a spade.
If tomorrow you were to form a political party hell bent on ending elections and seizing permanent control with which to enact ethnic cleansing through mass deportation then what the fuck else are you if not a right wing organization? If your goal was to end elections and then redistribute all wealth then holy shit what the hell else need be written here? It’s not that complicated. Stop trying to make this and everything else into these insufferable fucking sob stories about oppression when the stated objective of the supposed victims of that action IS oppression. Rubio sure as shit wouldn’t be pissing and moaning if the AfD were an Islamist party looking to impose goddamned Sharia law.
