    But it isn’t false. They are literal nazis and say literal nazi things.

    Several offices for the protection of the constitution of the German Länder (they are a kind of anti-extremist intelligence services, in case you don’t know) have found them to be “assuredly right-wing-extremists”, which is the worst possible classification the law recognises.

    Again. Literal, actual, nazis.

      Yes. That’s why you should quote what they literally say. It’s not a quote if you write what you think they say.

          Thanks, I would have looked differently at your comment if you had directly added that source.

          it’s very likley

          Then it is still not a quote.

          In general, if somebody can proof something easily but does not, then I assume that it is wrong. If others think like me, you create the opposite message of what you want.

                No worries. I kind of agree with you both.

                The AfD are not “literal Nazis” because they are not the NSDAP, which doesn’t exist anymore. But they are as close as you can get and a spiritual successor. But the proper term is neo-nazies. And yeah you shouldn’t make up quotes, when there are so many real ones you can pick from.

              I am sorry to tell you but if I didn’t know better, this exchange would have made me question the critics of the AfD and start seeing the AfD as the choice of reason.

              You say there are lies but you just offer a strawman argument in the form of a sack of potatoes. If you don’t back up these claims I usually conclude that they are wrong.

              You don’t have to convince me that the AfD is ineligible. I am with you. But you can’t claim that the AfD makes up causes and you make up your own. That makes all your claims unbelievable.

                Hi friend, I hope you are well. Remember this exchange? In the meantime, the German federal service for the protection of the constitution has found the AfD as a whole to be “assuredly right-wing extremist”, which is legalese for “they are literally neonazis and we have proof”.

                  That’s good but besides my point. My issue is that you make up conversations.

                  You don’t have to convince me that the AfD is ineligible. I am with you. But you can’t claim that the AfD makes up causes and you make up your own.

                    Making up things is bad because it may mislead people. My example was an accurate representation of that party. “Sieg heil” is even a direct quote.

                    Would you also object to me making up quotes about Mussolini or Stalin if these are to the best of our knowledge accurate depictions? Probably not.
