Yeah, there are a lot of allegations. Just recently his home was invaded by police for alleged cannabis possession (of his son). Kinda looks like he is a dissident, doesn't it?

Tell me: How is Björn Höcke a Nazi/fascist/right-extremist?

Btw, the Wiki article even features the bad "Bernd" joke in it. Wiki as a source ... lol

> I think arguing about the accuracy of labels like "nazi" or "fascist" is a bit beside the point.

And there it is and quite long even. It's guilt by association in a really obscure way.

Not sure if you're aware of the word "Schuldkult" (roughly translated to "cultic guilt"). I know, I know - a naughty word, but it so perfectly describes some Germans in which their whole identity circles around the guilt of Nazi Germany. They try to get away from it as far as they can. Every aspect of Germany is automatically tainted for these individuals. That's not a foundation for a working identity (at least not a German one). It's only destruction.

Yeah, it's more a feeling than actual fact.
