>BERLIN (AFP) – A leading member of German right-wing populist party AfD sparked an outcry Wednesday by criticising the Holocaust memorial in Berlin and calling for the country to stop atoning for its Nazi past.
>Bjoern Hoecke’s comments also exposed a damaging split in the anti-immigration party, just months before Germany heads to the polls.
>“Up to now, our state of mind is still one of a totally defeated people… We Germans, our people, are the only people in the world who have planted a monument of shame in the heart of the capital,” Hoecke told party faithful including youth members, according to a video of the speech circulated online.
>“We need nothing less than a 180-degree shift in the politics of remembrance,” he said in the remarks on Tuesday to chants of “Germany, Germany”.
>Instead of introducing younger generations to home-grown “internationally-acclaimed philosophers, musicians and ingenious inventors… German history has been made lousy and ridiculous,” he complained, winning a standing ovation from the crowd.
>“There is no moral responsibility to make yourself disappear,” said Hoecke, who was a high school sports and history teacher, adding that Germany should instead “build up a positive relationship with our history”.
>The comments were met with an instant uproar, with Social Democrat vice chief Ralf Stegner accusing Hoecke of making a “hate incitement speech” — which is illegal in Germany — that called for history to be rewritten.
>Chairwoman of the Greens party Simone Peter said the comments were “unspeakable” and demanded an apology from the AfD to Jews.
>Germany’s Central Council of Jews also lashed out, accusing the politician of trampling on six million Jewish Holocaust victims murdered by the Nazis.
>“The AfD has shown its real face with these anti-Semitic and extremely hostile words,” said the council’s chairman Josef Schuster, adding that he “never thought that 70 years after the Holocaust, a politician in Germany could say such things”.
>Council of Europe chief Thorbjorn Jagland also weighed in, saying that “calling our remembrance culture into question is outrageous and dangerous”.
>Germany’s Central Council of Jews also lashed out, accusing the politician of trampling on six million Jewish Holocaust victims murdered by the Nazis. Do Jews enjoy being holocausted? Is it like a fetish or something? Because they always seem to be working towards the next one.

Nice. Hopefully members of the anti-immigration party are scared of what he said, run from him and allow even more immigrants and refugees to flood Germany. Ideally in another 5 or 6 years, Germany will serve as powerful example to the world on why unchecked immigration is nothing more than cultural suicide.
Austin Rodriguez
Jews have an unconscious burning desire to suffer "anti-Semitism". They must create it wherever it does not exist. Their shared sense of persecution is what gives them purpose in life, and it's how they've survived as a people for thousands of years.

Ethan Gray
He's theoretically correct, history should be described in a just and balanced way
But man, this is why the elections in Poland were so extraordinary, because the history here has been largely taken out of the hands of neomarxists and recent elections are an indication of this
The Left has been through the media and cultural institutions trying to make it seem that Poles are co-responsible for the Holocaust and in general tried to create the atmosphere of national guilts
The thing is this stuff has been overcome with the help of civil society and local associations, and it's really the people who have won the War over History, so people are themselves convinced that the national guilts history shouldn't apply to Poland
But then when you look at the West, and especially Germany. Germans are fucked mercilessly, because they have no pluralism and because of the strength of the establishment New Left that controls the entire country, and will be ruthless and aggressive in not letting anybody touch that monopoly on communication
Poland has already defeated the Left's ideologized version of history, while the West is only beginning to try to take positions
Jordan Morgan
its like they want this shit to happen, nobody can be this dumb fuck no, people are tired of being judged based on what they're ancestors did, and now with information everywhere people can see from themselves how fucked up everything is, everybody will see who they're true enemy is, its bound to happen and when it does, may god have mercy on our souls

May the Germans awake and cast off their shackles and return to former glory!

This guy is so far, the best candidate for Kanzler His speach there and in Erfurt where remarkable Never saw a german politician speaking with this charisma about hard facts
Meanwhile the propaganda apparatus screams out "HATE CRIME" "NAZI, JEW KILLER"
Zachary Lewis
Well every politician opening up the possibility of closing the Jew-Chapter in german history is bound to have to deal with the standard outrage by the left media and green party.
John Ward
>Never saw a german politician speaking with this charisma about hard facts
Really? Never?
Hudson Howard
How many generations removed from now will Germans be allowed feel something other than repentance and self hatred? 6 generations? 60 generations?
Why do they always say 6 million and forget about the other 5 million non-jews?

Mason Nelson
A couple years ago when I was traveling I met a few Germans who were 18/19 and had the same sentiment about Germanys past. They had no part in the holocaust and felt no guilt for it. And they didn't really strike me as right wing, just regular guys. It's definitely shifting in Germany, there are so few WWII vets anyway that that guilt is literally dying off
Aaron Brown
>Germany will serve as powerful example to the world on why unchecked immigration is nothing more than cultural suicide. Your country already did a fine job doing that no need for us to do it too really

If you look at what he actually said in German, you wont be suprised to hear that they - again - spun his words around in a way to make it sound super bad. There are numerous people who say that this guilt trip has to end, but as long as your not a nigger or a shitskin, you get publicly shamed for saying it.

You dont understand we need the Rapefugees if our economic growth isnt at least above 1% per year germany will go up in flames.

Joseph Reed
its risky, I agree. But if you want acctual change in a miserable situation, you have to go agressive, you cannot talk shit like the other parties because you will be disregarded the same way. Agression, in nature, pays of at the end.
He got the standing ovation for it, dont loose hope, we are acctually fucking rising.

hey so Germany is paying all these reparations to the nations that spent money fighting WWII,
so where is the US's share of this money? (JK I know it's jews stealing it)
if Germany is getting taxed so heavy for the war how come none of the money flowing into the nations and rebuilding their infrastructure and instead all just going to interest payments for loans used to buy munitions 80 years ago?
Jaxon King
Literally >Muh 6 gorillion goyim! Hoecke saying to move on is annudah shoah!
Luke Bailey
He's a populist racist neonazi shithead who is about to be ousted by his own shit party because the spotlight is on his neonazi garbage. He's not saying to "move on", he's mimicking Adolf again and getting fucked for it this time :^) Finally. Since "alpha" is taken by Lucke already, maybe Högge can name his new splinter party "beta" like the shmuck he is :^)
Enjoy the last time you'll see him speaking for the AfD before being bfto by Petry and the other gaggle of mongrels :^)

Alexander Stewart
good luck, Germany. Fear should never define you, I'm so glad people are waking up.
I don't blame them, tho, ww2 was terrible, it makes sense they'd want to avoid repeating past mistakes. But there is no reason to throw out the baby with the bath water.
Petry said that Höcke is harming AfD. Why does she say this? this really made me sad...

Aaron Gomez
>He is a buzzword buzzword buzzword buzzword Gee, seems likes his words really upset you. Mad that he's actually speaking some sense? He's not claiming that the holocaust never happened or that Germany was not responsible for it, but he is saying it is time to move on as a country and stop feeling guilty over something that was done several generations ago. Of course, your country is so cucked and politically sensitive he might as well be saying to send Jews to the ovens to the other parties' ears.
Jayden Flores
They are (((waking))) up,but its 30 years late
