Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org

Hm doesn’t seem as nationalist anymore
"Flat earth society has members all around the globe"
Markus Frohnmaier looks evil AF. According to his Wikipedia he is. Mind you he is not from the AfD infested ex-GDR but from the southern Germany state Baden-Württemberg. Let's dissect his Wikipedia entry a bit:
-
Born in Romania (lol) and never got to know his natural parents. First he wasn't scheduled for adoption because of his weak constiution but was subsequently adopted by a german couple.
-
Got an economy high school diploma but dropped out of college.
-
Married to a Russian journalist previously working for the state affiliated Iswestija owned by Gazprom-Media.
-
Member of the parliament since 2017. Chairman of the far-right AfD regional association in Baden-Württemberg.
-
Employed multiple persons from the far-right-extremist spectrum. His own positions are openly far-right-extremist and xenophopic.
-
Media investigations found out that the Russian Federation supported him to influence German election campaigns in the parliament elections 2017. In a strategy paper that was obtained by the SPIEGEL, ZDF, BBC and La Repubblica, Wladimir Putin called him a "member of parliament under absolut control".
-
The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution concluded 2019 that Frohnmaier legitimizes "Attacks on the state monopoly on the use of force", has connections "to far-right-extremist publishers" and "to the anti-islam German Defence League" (which is also associated with the violent hooligan scene and is observed by Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution). Frohmaier demands after AfD's takeover of power that the Federal Constitutional Court will be stacked with judges loyal to the party.
-
He was a chairman of the "Junge Alternative für Deutschland", the youth organisation of the AfD which was deemed safe far-right-extreme by German federal judges and dissolved 2025.
-
In a speech in Erfurt he said: "To those left ideological terrorists, that party cronyism: When we take over we'll clean up and throw out the manure. Then politics will be made for the people and only for the people - because we are the people, dear friends".
-
He welcomed the Annexation of the Krim by Russia.
-
He met with the spokesperson Martin Sellner of the austrian Identitarian movement who's got an entry ban to multiple countries and was the initiator of a meeting of AfD, CDU and entrepreneurs in 2024, notably in the vicinity of the first Wannseekonference, in which the massdeportation after an AfD takeover was discussed.
-
After Joe Biden was elected he wrote "No gratulations for the globalistic election fraudster Joe Biden."
-
He met with Alexander Dugin and published on his rightwing-intellectual site Katechon
-
He met with pro-russian separatists in Donezk in 2016.
-
He founded the "German center for Eurasian Studies" together with a polish citizen who was deemed a chinese and russian agent by the state prosecutors office.
-
In 2019 he became a member of the "Yalta International Economic Forum" controlled by the FSB.
He suffered a heart attack at the age of 27.
Thank you very much for that informative compilation.
FYI, instead of "deemed safe" better use "officially confirmed" or "clearly classified", this is a common error among German speakers
Thanks a lot. I appreciate this as I often have to double-check and look-up idioms. Still, even after decades of communication in English. I'll leave the error as is then, to not take the educational value from your post.
Frohnmeier is evil af. He calls himseld "the friendly face of national socialism"
I hope the CDU and SPD are able to destroy them with arguments any day soon. Like in the US and many other countries. Franz von Papen had a brilliant plan. We should try that again. Party bans just don't cut it. It worked once with the Socialist Reich Party but we can't guarantee that will work again. Better don't ban people like Frohnmaier, openly stating he's a national socialists, from the Bundestag. That could anger the voters. Also please don't call them fascists. That seems to really anger some of them.
SPD is for an examine of their bannability. Its only the CDU/CSU holding out
Let's call it Axis 2
