How the FUCK is that shocking to anyone? Conservatives always side with fascists when it becomes expedient to do so.
Only exception to the rule was the Italian monarchists a century ago and even they pretended that they’d never opposed Mussolini the moment they lost the civil war.
Because the far right party exists since 2016 and each try to get too close to them resulted in failure.
So, it’s shocking to see someone try it again.
Most prominent case of the past: The Kemmerich government in Thüringen who accepted votes from that party. Kemmerich had to resign a few days later.
It’s called doubling down and it’s not just happening in Germany.
The COALition in Australia has just compared the First Nations People who have lived in Australia for over 65,000 years with Aliens.
It’s not the first time they’ve shown their #racist colours either.
The “leader” of the COALition has refused to stand in front of a First Nations flag:
So has the “leader” of the COALition in Western Australia:

[…] Men in boats arrived on the edge of the known world to embark on that new experiment. And just like astronauts arriving on Mars those first settlers would be confronted with a different and strange world, full of danger, adventure and potential.
The aboriginal people were the first of Homo Sapiens to leave Africa. They used the rudimentary technology of the era to sail to Australia. When they landed in Australia the ecosystem was even more more dangerous than it is now. They had to survive alongside giant reptiles and other megafauna for 17,000 years. That’s in addition to everything else on that continent trying to kill you.
If anyone in Australia is a pioneering adventurer to be celebrated, it’s these people. Yet the colonialist mind is so brain dead that they’ll denigrate these people and their culture, while celebrating the arrival of a group of psychopathic plunderers who arrived at a land that was already settled by humans.
It might be misleading to say they were the first out of Africa. I think there was 100,000 years or so between homo sapiens leaving Africa and arriving in Australia.
Also I think they might have been able to walk due to lower sea levels at the time.
Finally it’s pretty likely that homo sapiens (in this case aboriginals) hunted mega fauna to extinction.
It might be misleading to say they were the first out of Africa
I didn’t say they immediately arrived in Australia, a place they couldn’t possibly know existed. But it’s not disputable that Aboriginals were in the first wave of humanity to leave Africa.
They might have been able to walk due to lower sea levels at the time.
Yes, the sea levels were lower and they may have walked for some of their journey. But they did have to sail across the open ocean and did have to construct vessels that would allow them to do that. Let’s not denigrate the technological achievements of these people by saying they just walked it.
Homo sapiens (in this case aboriginals) hunted mega fauna to extinction
What’s really misleading is to just say they hunted the megafauna to extinction when they lived with them for 17,000 years. If you also compare that to the few hundred years it took for the American bison to almost be eradicated after Europeans arrived in North America, you’ll see that these people were still great stewards of the land. Even if, like all Homo Sapiens, they spell disaster for other species around them.
I’m only shocked it took this long for the same shitty people to make the same shitty choices they did 100 years ago.
Relaaaax guys. He said only if he is suggesting policies that are in line with AfD interests… Uh, wait…
Man it’s almost like Nazism was a religous conservative extremist movement.
