Furthermore, these groups do not hold a favorable opinion of the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, which came in second place in the last election, behind the conservatives. “When I’ve asked about the AfD, they’ve described it as a kind of ‘useful idiot.’ The party and its leaders are despised, but they are strategically used to gradually shift the boundaries of what can be said further to the right, so that, at some point, even more extremist parties can emerge,” the journalist explains.
That is actually an interesting insight. So the right is not as unified as I thought?
Well, I believe the right is unified. The backstabbing always happens later, see Röhm Putsch.
The left, on the other hand, is backstabbing each other beforehand and thus seems not as unified.
The right only tends to be organized because of boot-licking disguised as hero-praising, their love of rigid hierarchies (even among the libertarians, though they’ll call toxic social behaviour “law of the jungle,”) and general unification towards “the enemy,” which constantly shifts as needed. The right becomes self-destructive as it allows itself to be overtly fascist, because then they circle in on themselves (RINO’s, marginalized people voting right-wing, etc)
It’s not that different than leftist in-fighting (although it comes from different place I think.) IMO the greatest weakness the left has is that we’re nowhere near as organized and as motived for unified change as the right.
Thats increddible brave of her, couldnt do it
yeah who would have guessed that the nature of humans is universal and not changeable, and if you tell them that they shouldn’t feel the way they do, they’re gonna get angry at you instead of changing their ways.
Um, what do you mean by that?
We get tribal based on emotion and loyalty to the group matters more than ethics.
