Germany needs to encourage Germans to have more kids vs just inviting more immigrants as a way of propping up their social welfare system
China’s population is not increasing and is projected to decline sharply in the years ahead. However, it already has a huge population, 17 times that of Germany.

A quote that never goes out of style or relevance.

That's what we should be doing here in the U.S. Instead abortion is encouraged.

Fact.


Indian-Americans, Asian-Americans and Jewish-Americans have the highest household incomes in America. They’ve done plenty to help out this country. Is that what you’re referring to?

You think forcing 13 year old rape victims to give birth is a good solution?

Rape victim, 13, who didn't know 'how babies were made' is forced to give birth, after being sexually assaulted by stranger, due to Mississippi abortion ban

So a portion of the Germans want to declare the AfD as guilty of "wrong speak" and ban them....to protect democracy?

Yeah, that sounds pretty familiar.

On assuming power in 1933 the first people the Nazis targeted for arrest and imprisonment were political opponents – primarily communists, trade unionists and social democrats.

Dachau, the first Nazi concentration camp, was built in March 1933 to imprison political opponents. The Communist Party (KPD) was banned in March 1933, trade unions were disbanded in May and the Social Democrats (SPD) abolished in June. Leaders of these parties and unions were arrested or fled into exile.

By the end of 1933, there were almost 27,000 people imprisoned in concentration camps, and the majority of these were political prisoners

I guess the left in Germany decided that it is more efficient to simply "ban" your political opponents, rather than the USA left's method of levying ten dozen frivolous lawsuits and bogus criminal charges to shut your political opposition down.

Article from 2021: Has the AfD's Nazi rhetoric doomed it to electoral oblivion?

Quote:
In one notable train wreck interview with Germany's state broadcaster, Höcke was confronted with embarrassing video interviews of his AfD colleagues failing to distinguish between passages from his own book and Hitler's Mein Kampf.

Earlier this year, former AfD press officer Christian Lüth was sacked for suggesting that migrants should be gassed. Andre Poggenburg, a former AfD legislator in Saxony-Anhalt in 2017 echoed Nazi rhetoric when he said left-wing parliamentarians were a “rank growth on the German racial corpus.”

Germans are nothing if not efficient.
