German Far-Right Leader Goes on Trial for Nazi Slogans | Björn Höcke, one of the most prominent far-right figures in Germany, has called the trial an attempt to suppress patriotism.

Ahh, the classic rightoid view. “If you don’t share my views, then you don’t like your country!!”

Its obviously, complete whore shit

Usually, punishing the culprit, especially one with a significant following, backfires, turning them into a martyr. That’s the last thing you want because it’s how you turn an ordinary person into a hero.

Just sayin..

Germany supressing political opposition is nothing new.

Funny bit about Björn Höcke is that he‘s copying a lot of his stuff from Jörg Haider.

“Mr. Höcke has said he did not know the phrase was a Nazi slogan. But critics have insisted that argument is not credible, given he was a history teacher before he became a politician. And they note that AfD politicians in two other states have already been stopped by authorities in past years for using the slogan.”

I’d vote for them in heatbeat were it not for their pro russia stance. Clowns.
