📰 80 Years After VE Day, Germany’s Far Right Throws a Funeral for Memory

📍 From Buchenwald to the Bundestag
Germany, the country once synonymous with the mantra “Never Again,” now hosts a right-wing party that scoffs at Holocaust remembrance while racking up 151 parliamentary seats. The Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) doesn’t just flirt with extremism — it’s writing love letters to it in prime-time.

As Europe marked the 80th anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender, the new German chancellor Friedrich Merz solemnly laid a wreath — and then told national TV, “You can’t ban ten million AfD voters.” Welcome to the new Germany, where gaslighting has replaced gas chambers, and historical shame is repackaged as “patriotism.”

🚫 Shoah? Optional. Deportations? Let’s Discuss.
Memorial trees are chopped down. Swastikas etched into guestbooks. Students flash white power symbols at Auschwitz. And AfD leaders? One calls the Holocaust memorial a “monument of shame,” another calls Hitler-era crimes “a bird poop in 1,000 years of greatness.” Nothing to see here — just a bit of nationalist exfoliation.

When the richest man on Earth calls the AfD “Germany’s last spark of hope,” you know dystopia isn’t on the horizon — it’s already at the voting booth. In eastern Germany, they chant for mass deportations. In Berlin, they strategize over cocktails. And in Brussels? Silence.

📈 Right-Wing Crime, Record High. Remorse, Record Low.
More than 40,000 extremist crimes. Over 5,000 antisemitic incidents. A domestic intelligence report calling AfD officially extremist. And still — it tops polls. As one historian noted: “We are on a terrifying and irresistible slope.” Except this time, the SS wears suits, tweets fluently, and claims to love Israel.

🤔 Never Again? Or Just Not Yet?
The real question: If Germany forgets its past while rewriting its present, what exactly is it promising for the future?
