Sorry for the tinfoil but did the AfD convince one of their own to stage a false flag in order to win an election? (hexbear.net)

In case you missed it, a Saudi guy rammed a Christmas market with his car. Killed 5 people including one kid. Press inferrung that he's an "islamist" but he's well known for being anti-Muslim and pro AfD.

Getting some real Reichstag fire vibes from this.

The seeding for this was done many years ago by letting West Germany be governed by literal Nazis (who got to have a say in things for decades after WWII)

AfD has been making gains since their inception; they don't need any sort of event like that, Germany is just that caliber of xenophobic

Germany or the whole of Europe? We saw similar rises of fascism 100 years ago.
