God fuck off, all of you retards. Seriously why the fuck are certain people just so against common fucking sense.
Fucking right wingers are so far up their ass on these exiting the EU proposals, "oh it fixes everything" of any country that's probably seen its fortunes lifted the most from the EU, germany is pretty high on the list considering it wasn't even half its size when this whole common market stuff started.
How do they even think a German EU exit would work or even pass in the slightest?
There wont be some referendum which is suddenly deciding our EU membership.
They don't have some magical majority that lets them just pass shit like that.
All just big votes to rally up some votes I guess.
ya and I think given how tightly regulated the german system is there would not be a simple majority yes/no vote like britain
I swear these right wing groups are funded by Russia
Plot-twist.
They Are
As much as Russia likes to meddle in other countries' political affairs, you can't just assume that they are behind every major right-wing group there is, especially considering AfD is a large enough party to recieve significant state subsidies from the German federal treasury.
I hate Russia and the far-right as much as anyone here but all this obsession over Russian plots isn't exactly good optics. Frankly it seems to detract attention from the socioeconomic issues that are empowering the far-right to begin with.
Well they are apparently backed by the Russian media and pretty much the entirety of the 5% of Germans who speak Russian. So I don't think it's a long-shot to say they're influenced, directly or otherwise, by Kremlin.
Hahahahaha
The chief thing keeping Germany's economy afloat is them avoiding inflation thanks to the Euro
Sure, I can agree with that it is in Russia's geopolitical interests to lend their support to far-right movements abroad in an effort to destabilize their political opponents om an international scale. And that they have state-sanctioned propaganda outlets and "troll armies" that serve this purpose.
But the sentiment doesn't exist in a vacuum social democracy in Europe has given way to neo liberalism which is now giving way to fascism.
To boil every factor down to Russian meddling and funding is a fallacious thought process which I honestly would say is approaching the same level of moonbattery as those who believe George Soros is funding Antifa.
The AfD has existed since 2013 but they were more or less unknown or insignificant until the last couple elections, where their ads suddenly showed up all over the place. While I'm willing to believe it's not Russia, if thorough investigation proves so, they must have gotten a massive influx of cash from somewhere.
And no, Germany will not leave the organisation it's the de-facto leader of and every serious suggestion to do so will probably land you in prison for manslaughter by laughter.
They're all fucking Kremlin stooges. Ever last far-right uprising in the last few years has Putin's stink all over of it. Man wants to destabilize the entire first-world so there's no one to stop him when he goes and attempts to take back all of Russia's former satellite states. He is without a doubt the single biggest threat to world peace, and must be punished along with all his western cronies once the first world hopefully gets back on its feet.
AfD basically worked off of PEGIDA's momentum and have more or less swallowed up their supporters now. They secured their state funding by 2013 so if they suddenly got an influx of cash it must've been between 2015-2017. But if that came from Russia that only proves Russia exploited the already existing situation for their own gain. There would still be a fascist creep growing regardless of their influence.
Nor did I suggest they should, but don't assume that it can't happen.
And this right here is the kind of narrow-minded moonbattery I was talking about. Why even bother analyzing real issues in the society that builds up the "first world" when you can just lay all blame on the other guys.
Big Dick Politics, where having a really big dick that's much much bigger than the tiny dicks of the tribe nextdoor and making sure they know it too is more important than good, long term policy that ensures your nation's children have a good future ahead of them.
Basically mankind is devolving back into monkeys.
Yes, our economy totally would be dead without the EU existing. Guess countries outside the EU don't work.
I'm not saying we didn't profit from the EU and I don't agree in the slightest that the AfD even thinks about leaving, but what.
There is evidence that Putin has his hands in everything from the NRA to Nigel Farage and UKIP. It is not narrow-minded or insane at all - especially given that the Soviet Union of old aided literally every communist uprising during the Cold War. This kind of multi-national meddling is par for the course for Russia.
The volumes at which Germany exports would cause unsustainable inflation if the country depended on a national currency
