@tbortels @Remittancegirl Germany fucked up 1991-21 by not taking redevelopment of East Germany seriously enough. The East never fully de-Nazified—they shot obvious Nazis, but then set up an authoritarian state where rank-and-file authoritarian types simply switched slogans and slotted right in, then they left the East to rot. This created the swamp in which the AfD emerged: a large region in which far-right reactionary politics is mainstream.
