The author wrote that the National Socialists did not have a concrete plan for Auschwitz in 1933; the Holocaust arose from exclusion, disenfranchisement, and expulsion. From this, he derived the demand to combat right-wing extremist politics before it unfolds its worst consequences. #Holocaust #Rechtsextremismus #GegenNazis #DE (translated)

The author wrote that this is happening in Germany right now. Baden-Württemberg has once again shown an "exclusion excess."

Former Hamburg Mayor Ole von Beust criticizes the societal perception of the AfD and calls for a substantive engagement instead of exclusion, as the problem lies not only in the party's right-wing tendencies but also in its nationalistic attitude. #AfD #OlevonBeust #Politik (translated)

Shira S, MD, accused the SPD of collaborating with the SED successor party, Die Linke, while simultaneously using bans, surveillance, and exclusion against the opposition. She wrote that the party presents this as a democratic responsibility. Furthermore, she claimed that SPD representatives were colluding with people who shook hands with clan leaders. Boris Pistorius described the events as an unprecedented taboo violation of parliamentary democracy in the past 90 years and accused democrats of having served fascists as "stool pigeons," Shira S, MD stated. She countered the SPD by saying that they govern on the shoulders of the SED heir and label dissent as fascism. She also wrote that German politics needs an enemy image to distract from its own allies. #SPD #Pistorius #SED #DieLinke #Tabubruch #Clans #Heuchelei #AfD #Berlin #Korruption #Tabubruch #Korruption #Berlin (translated)

Furthermore, Rhein advocated giving the AfD committee chairmanships and ending their exclusion.

Manuel Ostermann asked what was happening to the culture of debate. He wrote that increasingly it was not just the argument that counted, but also who was saying something and from what political direction the statement came. Those who deviated from the expected corridor of opinion often had to justify themselves; contradiction led to exclusion and criticism could result in personal stigmatization, which could sometimes affect one’s professional existence. For him, democracy did not mean unanimity, but the possibility of having differing opinions. One could reject an opinion and criticize it sharply, but one must accept that others expressed it. Freedom of speech is especially demonstrated by views that one is reluctant to hear. In conclusion, Ostermann asked for the opinions of his readers. #Meinungsfreiheit #Debattenkultur #Demokratie (translated)

Björn Höcke wrote on the Day of German Unity on October 3rd that unity means not only a common state but also the equal belonging of all citizens, regardless of their political stance. The pension debate conveys to people with a GDR biography that their life’s achievements count for less, and during the Corona measures, the state split society even down to families, he explained. He also criticized that vaccination status has been made a measure of social belonging. Höcke accused unspecified individuals of leveling accusations against millions of people for linking their voting decisions to the crimes of Buchenwald. He dismissed such comparisons as politically motivated slurs, including one made by an older man. Cohesion requires respecting the decisions of others, even if one disagrees with them, he wrote. At the same time, Höcke pointed to business closures, families' worries about the future of their children, and a trust damaged by political failure. War rhetoric intensifies these fears, he claimed. The AfD extends a hand to all who do not want to come to terms with this; the recent election results show that more and more people want to take their fate into their own hands, he wrote. Germany will also overcome the walls that are currently being erected between citizens, Höcke added. #Einheit #Zusammenhalt #Deutschland (translated)

Our vice-presidential candidate Lothar Mulch was not elected today. The firewall is still in place, although Rhein has demanded an end to the exclusion of the AfD. It's a pity that his faction did not follow him. We are inconsolable. 😢 https://t.co/UESge0pc4N #Politik #Wahlen #AfD (translated)

Former Federal Constitutional Court judge Gertrude Lübbe-Wolff believes it makes sense to also elect candidates proposed by the AfD to the Federal Constitutional Court. In an interview with "Legal Tribune Online," she points out that such judges are already active in several state constitutional courts. She warns that a comprehensive exclusion could deter suitable candidates and strengthen radical forces within the AfD. In her view, a potential blockage of the court's work would be a breach of duty that could be sanctioned. She expresses significant reservations about an AfD ban and criticizes the reliability of the expert opinions she is familiar with. Instead, she advocates for first examining the potential revocation of fundamental rights for particularly radical individuals. #Bundesverfassungsgericht #Rechtsprechung #Grundrechte (translated)

Wie heuchlerisch kann man sein? Mario Voigt verkündet gerade, er sei gegen die Ausgrenzung der AfD! Deshalb haben Sie in Thüringen extra die parlamentarischen Gepflogenheiten geändert, um unserer AfD als Wahlsieger den Landtagspräsidenten vorzuenthalten, Herr Voigt? Machen Sie bloß weiter so, Herr Plagiator. Sie bringen uns mit Ihrer Art jeden Tag noch mehr Wähler! #Politik #Thüringen #AfD

Sorry, aber ich muss gerade wirklich lachen. Die Ausgrenzung der AfD und ihrer Wähler wurde jahrelang von Journalisten verteidigt und jede Form von Einbindung oder Strategiewechsel diffamiert. Und jetzt lese ich vermehrt, man solle nicht den gleichen Fehler machen mit den Linken. Sowas nennt man Opportunismus und Heuchelei. Und ehrlich gesagt zeigt es, welchen Anteil der Journalismus an der aktuellen politischen Gemengelage hat. #Politik #Journalismus #Opportunismus

Die Brandmauer in Deutschland und die Ausgrenzung der FPÖ in Österreich sind kein Schutz der Demokratie. Sie sind das Eingeständnis des Scheiterns. Die Altparteien müssten keine Mauern bauen, wenn sie tun würden, wofür sie gewählt wurden: Versprechen halten. Grenzen sichern. https://t.co/MFrvQU642M #Demokratie #VersprechenHalten #FPÖ
