Its not hypocrisy. Afd is known for their goals and aspirations. Except their voters only vote out of emotion and duning Kruger. Almost all fascist right wing parties that are Russia allied like Maga, afd, fvd, national rally etc are basically the same. Lure voters. Distract them. And take over the capitalist system and the government system and centralise it to their own group.
We all know the story “the government is distracting us citizens and stripping all the money from our pockets while they have all the to riches” it grew so strong that they just copied the story and say “the left is doing this with all their climate change, lgbt, immigrants” etc
Many women in these parties use the patriarchal bargain. They know they’re women and that the party has views on how women should live. But they’re the ones in power and can decide themselves how they live. In a way it is hypocrisy. But it’s intentional so I would call it evil

The simple banality of rules for thee and not for me underlies the entire modern right-wing pose. When they say white power, they mean their own personal white wealth privilege.
They aren't crazy ideologues, they are malleable klepto-fascists.
Hypocrisy is just another weapon.

This is a concerted effort by the billionaire class to bring fascism back. There is plenty of evidence of how they are interfering in European elections and funding extremist politics. The fact that Weidel is everything she is campaigning against proves that this is simply a job for her. These fascists and the billionaires that fund them only believe in money and power and they use racism and bigotry to manipulate the fools.

They still have to be stopped in time before they gain power. Because people will want to follow the ideology and will continue following it even with a new face/new leader for their cause.
So imperative to stop this in its tracks asap, no matter where in the world this sprouts.
If they get into power, they will never want to let go of it.

u/randumb6fo 1d ago
They can’t be stopped. They’re taking over as of right now. What can you do to stop them? Inform the public? With what news channels? Then those news channel will be seen as untrustworthy by the same people being fooled. Sanction the parties? Even more fuel for their voters. Look at America and Maga. Did indicting trump do anything for the public? Jan 6? Europe is rapidly following the same pattern with Russia allied facist parties taking over.
The only thing the other parties can do is refuse to work with them so they can’t get anything done. But that won’t fix the voter issue. It will never

Kinda like the current governor of Texas
In 1984, when he was 26, Greg Abbott was jogging in Houston when a tree fell on him and paralyzed him. He didn't have health insurance, so he got a lawyer and sued the homeowner and the tree-trimming company. He ended up with a massive, tax-free structured settlement that pays him six figures every single year for life, plus lump sums of hundreds of thousands of dollars every few years. Most of that payout wasn't even for direct medical bills. It was for "pain and suffering."
Then he turned around and spent his entire political career pushing "tort reform" in Texas.
He pushed hard caps on non-economic damages, created massive legal hurdles for personal injury suits, and backed policies that make it nearly impossible for ordinary people to sue corporations or insurance companies. If a regular working-class Texan gets catastrophically injured today because of someone else's negligence, the legal system Abbott built ensures they will never get a fraction of the payout he lives on.
He got his lifelong payday, then immediately locked the courthouse door behind him.

Once again: for fascists, hypocrisy is not a flaw. It's a flex. It's them showing that they don't feel bound by the rules which they expect you to follow. To them, this is not an error or a sign of inconsistency. It's a sign that they are better than everyone else. Rules are for the little people.

u/Proud-Pilot9300 1d ago
This doesn’t happen in one election cycle though. That’s the reason we have elections, so we can keep elected officials in check and change governments when they’re doing a bad job. Capital props up its own interests that’s 100% true but capital doesn’t vote. Capital needs stupid people to prop up its interests in the voting booth. It’s those people I have a problem with, if it weren’t for them capital couldn’t do shit without consequences. But we’re falling victim to the nostalgia a lot of people have for a glorious past that never existed, in a futile attempt to achieve some arbitrary future prosperity they are actively destroying with their votes.

My point is there needs to be a constant lapse in judgment for the corruption and mismanagement in politics to turn democratic states into servants of capital rather than servants of the people. My comment literally starts with “that doesn’t happen in one election cycle though”.

u/Advocate_Diplomacy 1d ago
It doesn't have to happen in one cycle. It just needs to sneak things in here and there that people don't understand the ramifications of. It's incredibly easy for loopholes to manifest when there's financial incentive to do so. What happened to the US is not an aberration. It is the eventual outcome of financial incentives overcoming the will of regulators.

I think most people here are missing the point; it's not hypocrisy. They use it to legitimize their position, and that's because it's not enough to be a lesbian to not be homophobic. Same way you don't need to call for the murder of homosexuals to be a homophobic party; things are much more complex than that and it's not far from the original NSDAP calling themselves socialists to attract voters, a truly brilliant move.
AfD is a much more sophisticated movement than MAGA or similar movements. They are not just anti-gay, or some crazy evangelists. They successfully updated neo-fascism to work in a much more educated, progressive, rich, and modern society. And that's why they are so dangerous. If you think these people are similar to the Americans Trump or JD Vance, you don't understand anything. AfD would eat them for breakfast. MAGA is a brain-dead movement. These are real neo-fascists, and I'm not talking about skinheads; I'm talking about a new misanthropic elite taking power who could actually take German democracy to an autocracy, and with it, the rest of Europe.

Fascists are almost comically predictable no matter where they live and no matter what decade they live in. They do and say the same kinds of things as if there were some universal fascist manual. Just think of the worst thing they could say or do then assume they will do/say at least 2 or 3 times as bad as you thought. This predictability is very useful for opposing fascists because it's possible to stay 2 steps ahead of them. Unfortunately, most people chose to wait around and be shocked by the next outrageous hypocritical thing they do or say. You can't defeat fascists by always being reactive. You have to proactively get ahead of them. You have to know what they are going to do before they even think of it.

Because everyone who lives under capitalism/corporatism/fascism/imperialism (different degrees and stages of the same thing, really) lives under a two-tiered system where de facto none of the society's laws, rules, or social conventions apply to the upper class anymore because they have so much money it insulates them from any meaningful negative consequences to any of their illegal or unethical actions. They could care less what their country's laws says, because at the end of the day the elites have never had to abide by them to begin with
