AfD: Germany defends extremist classification after Rubio criticises 'tyranny in disguise'
www.bbc.co.uk
Germany's foreign office says history shows that right-wing extremism "needs to be stopped", after criticism from the White House.

US Vice-President JD Vance accused “bureaucrats” of rebuilding the Berlin Wall, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio slammed the designation as “tyranny in disguise”.

In an unusual move, the foreign office directly replied to Rubio on X, writing: “We have learnt from our history that right-wing extremism needs to be stopped.”

    It means actual jail sentences for corporate board members and executives

    I’ve been advocating exactly this for many years. One very effective way to give psychopathic corporate “persons” a sense of decency and propriety really quickly is to threaten the real persons running it with real hard time.
