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 stronghold for the AfD is former East Germany

There is something very telling about Germany which patronizingly preaches about Western values and peace to Palestinians which get displaced and bombed regularly immediately have large portion of their country turn fascist as soon as there is smallest amount of societal disruption and violence, backing the party that supports the political ideology that caused said violence no less.

It also makes me respect those who suffer from some of the worst of humanity in cruelty and violence still embrace kindness and compassion first.

If you want to be conspiratorial, might as well make it the US. The FBI is known for instigating lonely men to commit suicide bombing through internet chatrooms, and the CIA could do the same overseas as well.

This would fit with the overall plan of the US wanting to destroy the German economy and its white supremacist dream of taking in white European immigrants as these countries sink into fascism. The goal wasn’t even to get AfD elected, it’s simply to create tension and destabilize the society.

Saudi immigrant in Germany who's anti-Muslim

New type of guy just dropped

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 hours ago

Pretty common on the anti-Muslim media circuit. Surprised it took this long for a fascist chud pick-me to do something like 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.

It's not a false flag (we really gotta stop doing this, people), the guy literally supported the AfD, if anything they were probably pretty nervous that this would fuck up their chances when they're so high in the polls.

The AfD lucked out that for one the media was super irresponsible for jumping on the "he's an islamist" angle when the guy was literally a saudi atheist, and above that is that the fact that he's an arab immigrant, and that probably matters to anti-immigrant germans MORE than the fact the he was a, I assume, pretty well integrated atheist AfD supported.

Polania is following the historically accurate route.

Why do you figure this is a false flag?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 17 hours ago

INSA polls generally skew in favor of AfD, but yes, chuds will absolutely and unwaveringly buy into a false flag like that.
