Okay, and? The crimes American soldiers committed against the Iraqi people (including waging an illegal war of aggression in the first place) aren't something that can be excused by "but they offered me money".
Okay I'm of the opinion that American veterans of any war since WWII deserve to get screwed by their government, but even I have to say: This is fucked up. I mean I still have no sympathy for imperialist stooges, but what the shit Trump?
Yeah exactly. Now, being a non-failed state, they can start the long, gruelling process of cultural and political evolution. That's why you're hearing about Afghani human rights activists now but not ten years ago.
No it's not? A failed state is one in which the state can't punish a significant amount of non-state sanctioned violence, which wasn't the case in Afghanistan.
In a pre-1947 world, would you support the creation of a Jewish state in Palestine? Knowing, of course, that there's no way of drawing the lines of such a state without including a significant number of Arabs that precludes a state that's both Jewish and Democratic without ethnic cleansing. The way real-life Israel "solved" this problem was by committing ethnic cleansing, AKA the Nakba.
Having lived in Germany in the '90s and given current political winds, I don't see AfD being able to get very far.
Two crucial things have changed between the 90s and now, though: the standard of living and the number of immigrants (both real and as perceived by Germans). The former is obvious, and as for the latter between the 90s and now there have been multiple (American-caused European-enabled) refugee crises in Europe due to the influx of Middle Eastern people fleeing war. This has made Germany go haywire, counteracting any advantage they may have had on the anti-fascism front over Americans—who are for the most part already used to having Others in the same environment as the Self.
According to a study in 2018 by Leipzig University, 56% of Germans sometimes thought the many Muslims made them feel like strangers in their own country, up from 43% in 2014. In 2018, 44% thought immigration by Muslims should be banned, up from 37% in 2014.[26]

This sort of disdain for an Other is the indicator for fascism, and it's very much on the rise in Germany.
The house always wins.
