The right wing/nationalist movements in Germany as in other countries are of course continuously changing,- the old stereotypes don´t suffice any longer. One of the most dangerous developments I understand took place the last years is that nationalist groups are trying to occupy political topics that "traditional" were not of so much importance to them, e.g. fighting a surveillance society, fighting capitalism, fighting for a better welfare system, promote socialism, environmental issues, etc. Yes, with these topics they might draw more people, and confuse the old black and white patterns of "left-wing" and "right- wing".
The actual mindset behind comes through more subliminal: being against capitalism as another coat of anti-semitism (being against "the capitalist Jew"), socialism as a national socialism which takes care for the "organic- germans" first, fighting the surveillance society because the rightwing scene is quite affected in their work by it... . It´s necessary to be aware of the "racist knowledge" (as Mark Terkessidis would call it) that is content in most of the good sounding slogans. Lets make it naked!
On the way home, informed, but never left with a good feeling- some happiness passed my way.
It was bulky waste time again. I love it. People put old furniture outside and you can take what you want. No need for IKEA. I got a small white sideboard and carried it home on my bike. My flatmates got totally excited, so we chose to make a little roadtrip in the middle of the night to check out some of the bulky waste along the streets. And this is what we brought home:
Totally intact, beautiful stuff. For zero bucks and with zero bugs (thanks for the comments:)+ less environmental pollution.
This made our night.
And I claim we even have some LASER SWORDS placed beside the mirror!

Not long ago I found a leaflet in my mailbox informing about a group that wants to divide Germany in several parts and as part of that the even wanted to create a monarchy in saxony! Hard to believe, but true. The have been active for a long while and lukily without any success...lets hope they continue to be this kind of successfull...
By the way, how are you doing?
Nice table. looks good, but my question is: zero bugs or zero bucks? big difference...both would be ideal. no bugs and no bucks.
Miss yo!
In my opinion the autonom-nationalist-movement seems to be overrated, a media-hype, due to their appearance in public. They didn´t invent the so-called “Dresdner Schule”. Not 10% of the Saxons wear Thor Steinar or black hoodies. But one out of ten voted NPD. Why?
I am much more concerned about far-right intellectuals, well-educated and indoctrinated cadres. These people are the real threat. Acting from the background. We must not underestimate them!

Jo, I totally agree. Autonomous nationalist movement might be overrated, but due to their pro-violence statements quite dangerous. The 2nd Paragraph of the post was concerning "Die neue Rechte"- (the new right wing) and not just on autonomous nationalists.
The danger from these well- ducated cadres comes also from the lack of anti-racist/diversity/etc. education in German schools. Knowledge and sensitivity concerning these topics helps to not get deluded.
