The German fascist party AfD has filed a criminal defamation complaint against Chancellor Friedrich Merz, for saying that "the word 'remigration' is nothing other than a synonym for ethnic cleansing based on origin and skin color" before the Bundestag.

and we needed him to explain this to us??
no, that was clear long before.
the much more important question is what the phrases he himself says really mean.
someone who dislikes the „Stadtbild“ - what does he want to do with it?
clean it?
from what?
from everything he thinks it doesn‘t belong there.
and its very clear he means people that dont look pure german.ethnic cleansing.
also, if he says remigration means ethnic cleansing, and he tries to tell us this is not ok - where are the consequences for the CDU politicians who participated in the remigration conference a while ago?
there are none.

Dear Fediverse, I've never asked for boosts, but it's time to flood the zone. Put it in your own words if you prefer. Spread it everywhere.

@WorldTravelerAll7 @AnnieBuddy @slimhazard @renewedresistance The obvious choice is actually Russia. They already love Russia, plenty of space, already lots of nazi friends there for them, everyone is happy well if you can call Russians happy.
@nf3xn @AnnieBuddy @slimhazard @renewedresistance
I think we have a winner!
Edit: i may have to rescind that. Russia will definitely make them cannon fodder in their war against Ukraine. not that i'm against maga being cannon fodder - i'm just concerned about the impact on the Ukrainians

Ich hasse es, wenn Nazis immer wieder ursprünglich neutrale Wörter okupieren. Remigration ist laut Wikipedia freiwillige Zurückwanderung von ursprünglich eingewanderten Menschen. Müssen wir uns immer wieder mit diesen Vereinnahmungen gemein machen und diesen Kampfbegriff so benutzen wie es die Nazis vorgeben. -

It's happening in Palestine too, as well as the United States. The entire world seems to have reverted back to 1930's Germany. -
@ratsnakegames @root immunity in the Bundestag can be lifted in the specific case of defamation. The idea is that latter-day Nazis shouldn’t have immunity to say racist stuff. Immunity can only be lifted if a majority in the Bundestag agrees to it. I‘m unclear from today‘s news reports what the status of that is.

Here's some not-so defamation for them on the basis of truth: AfD=NAZIS. Their election thus violates German laws that exist as a condition of ending the Second World War.

even Canada has fascists. we have a global fascist problem, and that is that there are fascist people all around the globe
if we want humanity to continue and thrive, at some point we have to address our Homo Fascistus problem
@WorldTravelerAll7 @AnnieBuddy @slimhazard @renewedresistance Let's make Homo Fascistus extinct, as they are an invasive pest!

That means guerillas have to do the job, like in Occupied France but without any external aid.

All these racist assholes in the US and Canada who talk of "remigration" are playing with fire. Almost all of them descend from European invaders and are speaking from stolen land. What to stop Indigenous folks here from demanding these racists be the ones to go home as in back to Europe?

two thoughts:
1. Thanks for the Streisand Effect to the fascists
2. Good luck with the prosecution /s. Parliamentary freedom of speech goes very far in Germany, a lot further than ordinary freedom of speech (Meinungsfreiheit in GER, _not_ the same as US freedom of speech), and explicitely allows statements otherwise illegal (Indemnität, for the law buffs, which I am not) -

The idea is that latter-day Nazis shouldn‘t have a safe space, even in the Bundestag, to say racist stuff. A majority of Bundestag members have to agree to lift immunity when a charge has been made. I‘m not clear from the news that I‘ve read where that stands as of now.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/world/articles/afd-files-complaint-against-merz-130350147.html@slimhazard @renewedresistance Do not use the term "ethnic cleansing", that's the vocabulary of the enemy.
There's an accepted scientific term to describe what you mean: genocide.

@slimhazard that's about what I understand too. There are _some_ boundaries what you can say I assume, but I really doubt equating remigration to ethnic cleansing clears that bar, when the example in the Indemnität explanation states that calling another's arguments "utter shit" is fine. Also Indemnität ≠ Immunität, the former offering extended freedom of speech, the latter reduced prosecutional pressure for general criminal actions like stealing.

@slimhazard fun fact: the fascist who called for criminal prosecution regarding the ethnic cleansing statement currently has his immunity revoked (I think the Immunität immunity). And not for the first time.

@grob yeah Germany has wild legal canon to distinguish defamatory speech from free expression of opinion. Such as if you say that a person is a farm animal or a body part, such as an asshole, then it was an insult. German courts actually spend time on this.
Whatever, I can‘t see how they‘ll make the case against a statement like “thing is the same as another bad thing“. It‘s a point of view, with the important quality of being accurate.
