    I’m genuinely curious, does he believe himself to be a human? Or a capitalist? Is his goal to better the lives of humans or capitalists? He talks like he would gladly exterminate the entire human race so that finally the markets could be fully FREE.

    Like… Somehow these people managed to avoid being locked up for violent delusions and then were given EVERY RESOURCE ON THE PLANET TO MEET OUT THEIR DELUSIONS ON THE REST OF US.

      Free. Free to cut out real competition. Modern capitalism doesn’t want a free market. The just want to call it a free market. After all if they can’t cut out real competition. They would have to keep up with those that do a better job and make better/cheaper products.

        They want a market free from antitrust enforcement.

        Preferably one with barriers to entry for new players.

        Luckily for them that is exactly what they have. Or exactly as they have engineered I should say.

    Hey everyone, the nazis (AFD) are taking over Germany. They should have been banned under their laws, but the government chickened out. Huge funding from nazi billionaires and Russian nazis are helping them to overthrow all rationality, and install nazis everywhere. Nazis need to be dealt with harshly and quickly, lest they take over your government from the inside.

    No, not enough is being done.

    This story is just sensationist bullshit, but can be used to spread awareness of German Nazis.

      Fun fact, the nazi billionaires are Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, they are stirring the pot worldwide. They have so many resources personally that they think they could benefit from a total societal collapse, so that’s what they are trying to engineer

        It is not limited to the tech Nazis. Is a fairly large group of super rich, but I would add Elon Musk is just beef front clown of thiel and his technofascists. I think some yarvin fellow is the Brain Trust on it.

        Peter Thiel said that democracy isn’t compatible with capitalism and we need to get rid of democracy in order to protect capitalism.

          He is anti-humanity in all regards, he is one of the most openly psychopathic elites to have control over some fraction of the world.

          But yeah Q-anon and conspiracy theorists, keep rummaging in pizza places and cement factory basements looking for the shadowy cabal who are hurting people. I’m sure you’ll find the real bad guys aaaannnny day now.

          He has it backwards. Democracy is used to keep people placid in Capitalism because they feel in control and think that they live the best possible life.

          He must mean free market economy and he must believe that progress comes from free market competition and he sees that threatened.

          Is he that naive that he believes that Palantir and such will be used to bring back free markets?

            He thinks competition is for losers. You have to create monopoly if you are a serious capitalist. source

            democracy is no longer enough to keep the masses silent, so we need a dictator so that the capitalists can keep on capitaling

          Not the other way around, LOL. Like capitalism is more valuable than democracy. Of course, that’s the opinion of a capitalist, of course he’d think that

    There really is no news story here other than a wild right-wing conspiracy theory.

    There are tens of thousands candidates in this election with 17 known deaths among the candidates, 7 of which are AfD candidates. This might seem high at first glance, but since there is no central institution keeping track of this, there might be more deaths for the other parties that are just not known. Also, as others have pointed out, many AfD candidates are older men. One of the dead was 80, two others around 70.

    I wish these conspiracy theories weren’t just casually echoed in headlines and social media.

      going along social lines would suggest a more unhealthy lifestyle for afd politicians imo. I.e. „nobody touches my schnitzel“
