"With all the AfD’s neo-Nazi eruptions, there have been no apologies, no contrition, no retreats. Those eruptions including Weidel’s own recent rallies, where she has basked in chants of “Alice für Deutschland,” a homophonic play on the banned Nazi slogan “Alles für Deutschland.”"
P - Well, at least this is better than "Genocide Joe" and AIPAC running our government, amirite? Although this topic, I'm sure, is less interesting than constantly arguing with MAGA social media trolls."

You are right that we do give conservative trolls more voice than most all conservative boards around give to reprobates such as we. Some of us were banned basically for fact checking on conservative boards. And we liberals are impossible to have civil conversation with. We give more voice because we appreciate the right of free speech. It was part of our founder's DNA, and it is part of ours.

You are right, there are the problems in the

[...]Apple accused of covering up war crimes by willfully using Congo conflict minerals
Answer
Apple is facing serious allegations from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) over the use of conflict minerals in its supply chain. The DRC has filed criminal complaints against Apple subsidiaries in France and Belgium, accusing the tech giant of complicity in crimes committed by armed groups controlling certain mining operations in eastern Congo. These groups are linked to severe human rights abuses, including massacres, forced labor, and environmental destruction.

If the US was funding and arming China's military, you could bet your fucking bigoted
ethnonationalist ass there would be an enormous backlash against that.
Ditto the DRC.
You seem intent on justifying your medieval savagery by pointing your fingers in all directions but at yourself. Fuck off, monster.

Since the Holocaust, Germany has worked to overcome its Nazi history. But over the past decade, Germany has faced a rising wave of far-right violence and plots against Jews, Muslims, immigrants and politicians.
P - Amid accusations that the far-right Alternative für Deutschland party (AfD) has provoked violence, which it denies, filmmaker Evan Williams (Germany’s Neo-Nazis & the Far Right, Escaping Eritrea, Myanmar’s Killing Fields) investigates the rise of far-right extremism in modern-day Germany

From Brazil to the United States, Hungary to New Zealand, right-wing extremist ideas and groups are posing a grave threat to democratic societies. Within this context, the ongoing support U.S. President Donald Trump receives from parts of his base despite the drop in his approval numbers .. https://morningconsult.com/2021/01/08/trump-approval-rating-capitol-riot-poll/ .. and the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 reflects the continued evolution of a global threat. As New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Arden .. https://securityconference.org/assets/user_upload/MunichSecurityReport2020.pdf .. emphasized after a right-wing terrorist killed over 50 people at a pair of mosques in her country, “there is no question that ideas and language of division and hate have existed for decades, but their form of distribution, the tools of organization—they are new.” If there is any hope of repairing those divides and advancing equality, rule of law, an inclusive civil society, and respect for human rights, the United States needs to work with other countries and multilateral organizations to build a coalition to combat the growth and spread of right-wing extremism. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=172252424

‘The gesture speaks for itself’: Germans respond to Musk’s apparent Nazi salute
[...]Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, said he considered Musk’s support for the extreme right unacceptable as he was asked how he thought Europe should respond to the tech billionaire, particularly in the light of his AfD endorsement. The co-leader of the AfD, Tino Chrupalla, was among the members of Europe’s far-right political class to be in Washington for Trump’s inauguration.

Why has Musk gained access to our data?
[...] And while Musk gains access to every American’s sensitive financial and personal information, he is actively propping up Germany’s far-right AfD, a party with deep ties to neo-Nazis.
P - Musk has repeatedly used his platform to amplify and normalize extremist rhetoric, positioning himself as an enabler of authoritarian movements in Europe while simultaneously consolidating power over U.S. government institutions. His influence isn’t just limited to tech and finance—he is directly contributing to the rise of far-right nationalism, destabilizing democracies abroad while embedding himself in the highest levels of the U.S. government, gutting U.S. agencies, and purging civil servants.
