Saxony-Anhalt Gov. Sven Schulze of the Christian Democratic Union criticized the initiative. He noted that the resolution did not mention Russian aggression, even though Russia shells Ukrainian cities daily. Schulze said the AfD and BSW wanted to deprive Ukraine of the ability to defend itself. The state government will decide how to proceed after further discussion.

Get your shit together Germany.

    No bro, you picked this turn of phrase I used by saying “Germany did” as a conversational simplification and are hyperfocusing on it to try to discredit my point which clearly gets under your skin.

    I am well aware Sachsen-Anhalt is not all of Germany.

    …and yet this is still at the end of the day something Germany did and German society created, don’t try to disown the fascism in your own backyard by minimizing the connection of your identity to it.

      That is not hyper focusing, what you are misleading and plain false. Words mean something. Germany’s foreign policy is made in Berlin, not in Sachsen-Anhalt. Sachsen- Anhalt does not have a foreign policy and does not make one.

      What the legislature of Sachsen-Anhalt was voting has no backing in any other Bundesland. The podition if Germany is actually the opposite. Your disinformation is trying to paint another picture.

          So if Alberta’s legislature is voting for annexation by the US and the governor of Alberta opposes that, just like the actually competent institutions of Canada, you would write that “Canada” was just calling for being annexed by the US?

            In conversation I might say that when talking in an international context, especially when it is indicative of the policies of a political party likely to seize power.

            Canada is NOWHERE near as fascist as Germany is however and Canada has never exterminated millions of jews in gas chambers so… it makes the generalization far less fitting.

              Wow, so words really don’t mean anything to you, when the position of the majority of Canadians AND of the actually competent institutions is the opposite of what you are saying.

                You are splitting hairs to avoid admitting Germany is succombing/has already succombed to Fascism yet again.
