    Maybe, but they only trying to silence them, not to solve the problems that cause their rising…

      You mean the problem that almost all media is controlled by right-wing billionaires?

      yes, thats big problem. But it’s good to at least take away some power from the party

        Maybe in the US this is true, not here

        yes, thats big problem. But it’s good to at least take away some power from the party

        No, you are not taking away some power from them, you are simply giving them more “weapons”. It would not be that difficult to frame this as “look, they want to silence us because we talk about $PROBLEM they caused”

      Unfortunately at the stage we are at we dont have enough time to only fight the root causes.

        Maybe true, but these are the consequences of ignoring (or creating) the problems but as it seems they don’t even care to understand why AfD get so many support.
        Only silencing them now will end with AfD with more votes and even less time to attack the root causes.

          Of course the current German government doesnt care for the root causes. CDU has always sided with millionaires and promoted suppression of the working class. They are hoping to shut down AfD while staying in power. On an EU level, we cant really do more than this but its the least that needs to happen.

            Then they are even more stupid…

            On an EU level, we cant really do more than this but its the least that needs to happen.

            Oh, yes, we can do way more.
            Think about to impose some sort of limitation to indiscriminate immigration, think about stopping to try to punish the members that do not accept illegal immigrants, think about starting to work to preserve the industries and workplace in Europe, think about how to make outsourcing production less cost-effective for those who do it.
            There are a lot of thing EU can do if they want.

              So you want to support the incorrect narrative of those xenophobic liars that it’s because of immigration instead of the real reason, out of control capitalism with the rich getting richer?
