The video of Musk speaking (via video call) at the AfD rally is straight Nazi shit. It's worse than I though it would be, I imagined he would try to be a lot more crypto-fascisct, but I guess we're past that now.

It'll never not be bizarre to me that so many people are crying about immigration in Europe when an actual country (America) has caused the worst disaster to European economies in just a few short years that immigrants never did; a disaster so bad they're doing the unthinkable: actually considering aligning with people they consider subhuman and have hated ever since they freed them from fascism. America has been an actual disaster for them and yet the rise of far right parties in Europe are because the voters happened to hear someone say 'hello' in a foreign language in their immediate vicinity that one time.

Nice "nationalistic" party you got there. Nothing says "nationalist" quite like turning Germany into another US stooge state.

the average german nationalist has a perception of the US straight out of like 60s marlboro commercials so this tracks

We're closer than ever to the Nazi Cowboy becoming manifest

Speaking of that, I guess watching a documentary by Bad Empanada of how Manifest Destiny America influenced Nazi Germany came in handy

This is just typical Eastern European nationalism, repackaged for Western Europe.
