Physical attacks on right-leaning politicians in Germany are on the rise. Usually in the name of peaceful coexistance, as they are targeted at politicians opposing an open immigration policy. I personally oppose an open immigration policy and I see myself more on the left in most issues. That's why the whole left / right divide is nonsense. I can oppose keeping minimum income low by employing(taking advantage of) people from poorer countries without being racist. Calling Elon a nazi because he agreed with something a right leaning politician said is juvenile. And that's coming from a person whose family was targeted for extemination by the nazis (grandfather was an intellectual slav(dr.med.), can't have that screwing with the race theories). |

Exactly. It seems that word (Nazi) just loses its meaning each time it is loosely used to describe someone that they don't like, in this case to Elon Musk and others. It is beyond childish and does a disservice to those who have fought actual 'Nazis' or have directly suffered under them.
So their best [0] was to find a guilt by association over Elon and this politician in the article, agreeing with being against open and uncontrolled immigration; therefore Nazi. Oh dear.
Maybe everyone who is driving Volkswagons today are also nazis or anyone working for IBM is also a nazi. /s
