The mainstream media calls every party in Europe "far right" if they opposed the continuing mass population change that has been inflicted on Europe against the will of the public. You may be right about AFD in particular, I don't know, but there is good reason to regard the term as a meaningless slur.

So let me get this straight- an Arab man let into Germany due to its asylum policies goes on to commit a hate crime- a classic terror attack aimed at killing the maximum number of civilians, and targeting a symbol of German/western civilization to make clear his hate. At this point does it really *matter* if this terrorism is committed in the name of Islam or “anti Islam”? Let me be blunt, the chances that an asylum seeker from north Korea or an economic migrant from Vietnam would have done the same are close to zero. Incidentally the chances that an Arab woman would have done so are so significantly smaller too. Europe’s insane “asylum” policy and willful blindness of the extreme utility of demography (cultural and geographic and religious background, age, sex etc) in risk assessment are the policy failure driving this. This 100% an imported problem that the Germans have brought on themselves. That the mainstream media *continues* to obfuscate in its reporting as if it’s 1994 and not 2024 boggles the mind. AfD may be worse but unless some other alternative to the insane status quo props up they will eventually take over.

P.S.

As far as I could tell NYT in its reporting pointedly refused to mention the name or national origin of the attacker. This kind of insulting attempt to shield Arab and Islamic terrorism is helping nobody but the far right.
