Isn’t it against the law? Germany is considering pressing charges against Roger Waters for using Nazi-like imagery in one of his shows, which was clearly an anti-fascist message. I mention that because it shows how little tolerance Germany seems to have towards Nazism.
Yeah, you would think so, but we have weekly demonstrations of Nazis in the streets (Pegida, Coronazis, people trying to disturb CSD parades,…), Nazis trying to get into parliaments and councils (AfD, parts of CDU), Nazis in talk shows and interview, Nazis writing for big newspapers, Nazis in our police and armed forces, …
Just because they mostly don’t use 3rd Reich Nazi symbols, doesn’t make them any less Nazi, and Germany has far too much tolerance for them. It’s basically the same playbook as anywhere else: make small steps, undermine institutions, spread talking points, gain traction, destroy democracy.
Are they self-acknowledged fascists? That’s what trips me out the most about the Third Reich Nazis, is that they were proudly fascist. That has always been an abhorrent word to me, so I find it really weird when a person or party proudly declares that is what they are.

Yeah, many are by now, they feel way strong. We have state level elections in two weeks, and I’m genuinely scared.
Good luck to you guys. I’m hoping we can squash these fucking Nazis without having to resort to violence this time.
