    Germany did two things wrong, they learned an overly specific lesson “never again should Germans do something this horrible to Jews” rather than “never again should any group or individual do something this horrible to any other group or individual”

    Nope, we’re very much aware of the distinction. The first foreign deployment of the Bundeswehr was based on the latter.

    The AfD surge is about the other parties’ structural inability to deal with the actual issues people face, in particular economic uncertainty. Feelings of political powerlessness. It’s accelerationist shit.
