  • I agree with the sentiment, but I don’t think being “ashamed” is the way to go - I only feel shame for things I have done.

    But otherwise I agree. They just held their party convention with the speaker being flanked by 8 German flags on the left on 8 on the right - so 88. And held up signs “Alice for Deutschland” (one of their leaders was convicted for using the SA slogan “Alles für Deutschland”). So yeah, they’re fascists and ~20% of voters want to vote for them. It’s disgusting.











  • Your reading is very generous to him.

    Probably. My point is that I was very confused by the original claim (officials deciding whether people are jewish or not) and the following comments drawing comparisons to Nazi Germany.

    I don’t have time to learn German to read your source, in an English based discussion.

    Understandable. But when the discussion is about German law, German sources are to be expected.

    It is not relevant that it is wrong.

    If it’s not relevant, then why quote it? In any case it tells me something about the quality of the article.

    The commissioner tried to use it to defend his position that they are ostensibly Jewish. Actually being wrong makes it worse as he should know better or he is lying.

    Yes, as I said: the “Jewishness” of the people should not matter when you’re attacking their arguments. And yes, he is very obvioulsy trying to defend this instead of admitting that he shouldn’t have said that.
