Tillschneider says projects that promote democracy are "indoctrination programs," and they will no longer receive funding. He'd like to scrap the "School Without Racism" project and abolish public broadcasting in its current form. Tillschneider and the AfD are focusing on nationalism: "Being German should once again evoke a positive feeling," he wrote to DW. He is fighting against everything that he doesn't consider "German." For example, he considers pop songs "meaningless, lacking in tradition, international."

Always the same bullshit, pushed by the same manipulative fucks taking advantage of geriatrics and left-behind rurals.

Go blast a Wagner vinyl, don your Pickelhaube, and boil up some pickled Schweinshaxe - no one is stopping you from celebrating your precious culture anymoreso than Xtians are "persecuted" in America. But that's not what fascism is really about, it's about stopping every other cultural group in the country from celebrating theirs.
 
I’m fairly certain that Hamburg and the Ruhr valley might go super saiyan should AfD come anywhere near power.
 
Bottom line, AfD should have been outlawed by now per German law. They have repeatedly shown they lack institutional control over their most extreme elements, and their overall platform has slid further and further towards outright fascism over the years.

The Germans had the right idea outlawing Nazi ideology and imagery, but they failed to follow through and enforce their laws against extremist political parties as a new fascist party mainstreamed itself in the states that continue to economically lag behind the west. To be fair, they probably also did less than they should have to lift up the eastern states and introduce them to mixed market economics by means other than shock therapy.

"You can take my rights and freedom but don't you dare touch my stuff." -- All humans, everywhere

Thousands of people have been protesting in Iran against the dramatic devaluation of the currency amid the historic economic crisis that has engulfed the country.

What began as a strike by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants has become an expression of political anger, with some even chanting "Death to the dictator." The protests have already spread from Tehran to other cities, such as Isfahan and Mashhad.

Strikes in the bazaar hit not just the food supply, but also the conservative backbone of the Republic. Nia describes it as the "lifeblood of Iran's central markets. The shop owners and others gathered to protest because the current economic situation is no longer tenable."

Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, has little political leeway for making concessions to the demonstrators. In a moment of unusual openness, he recently admitted, "If the problems aren't solved, we cannot govern." Some argue that this is tantamount to a declaration of political bankruptcy.

The government's draft budget for 2026 envisages tax rises of 62%, with inflation at 50%, which many on the street see as straightforward robbery. Public reactions suggest that Iranians no longer differentiate between "reformers" and "hardliners" in their political leadership, but instead see the entire political class as devoid of credibility.

I can only imagine what it will be like here when the AI and crypto bubbles burst and whichever party is in power bails out Wall Street again. There has never been an actual revolution in the US. With 300 million people and 500 million guns we could have one that makes 1789 and 1917 look like a no contact drill. It would be more like the Chinese Communist Revolution, which took 22 years and killed more than a million people.

I don't think it would end well for anybody. I certainly don't think it would end in a tolerant, generous, civilized liberal democracy.

One toke over the line?

A volunteer member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was killed in a western province during widening demonstrations sparked by the Islamic Republic’s ailing economy, authorities said Thursday, marking the first fatality among security forces during the protests.

The death Wednesday night of the 21-year-old volunteer in the Guard’s Basij force may mark the start of a heavier-handed response by Iran’s theocracy over the demonstrations, which have slowed in the capital, Tehran, but expanded to other provinces.

The state-run IRNA news agency reported on the IRGC member’s death but did not elaborate. An Iranian news agency called the Student News Network, believed to be close to the Basij, directly blamed demonstrators for the IRGC member’s death, citing comments from Saeed Pourali, a deputy governor in Iran’s Lorestan province.

The IRGC member “was martyred ... at the hands of rioters during protests in this city in defense of public order,” he reportedly said. Another 13 Basij members and police officers suffered injuries, he added.

“The protests that have occurred are due to economic pressures, inflation and currency fluctuations, and are an expression of livelihood concerns,” Pourali said. “The voices of citizens must be heard carefully and tactfully, but people must not allow their demands to be strained by profit-seeking individuals.”

The protests took place in the city of Kouhdasht, over 400 kilometers (250 miles) southwest of Tehran.

Iran’s civilian government under reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian has been trying to signal it wants to negotiate with protesters. However, Pezeshkian has acknowledged there is not much he can do as Iran’s rial currency has rapidly depreciated, with $1 now costing some 1.4 million rials.
