There’s no right-wing politics in germany. That is to say, of course there is - lots of it - but nobody would ever proudly proclaim it like elsewhere, because it carries the immediate association with being a nazi, which is widely disregarded. And THAT is to say, it is widely disregarded to be considered a nazi, not so much doing nazi stuff.
This seems to shift the overton window into the fucking 4th dimension as nobody can admit to being a right-winger anymore.
EDIT: The conclusion to the entire idea of being maybe sort of close to the nazis, ideologically, is that most people can have horrible shitty political opinions but convince themselves that’s actually progressive, and you get this crap

Europe is absolutely lousy with progressively worded bigotry. Take for example all the gay rights concern trolling islamophobia
