So, to summarize: He's a far-right extremist from abroad. His agenda is to promote the deportation of foreigners from Germany and keeping foreigners out of Germany. The government officials found out about him and grant his wish by banning him - a foreigner - from entering Germany. And now he's mad, because... They did as he told them?
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Edit: I see what you did there ![email protected]...
Doublethink is strong in these people.
The leader of the PEGIDA movement that did many far right anti refugee demos in 2015 and 2016 had fled to South Africa in the 90s to avoid a prison sentence for multiple break ins. He then was convicted for robberies, drug dealing, scams, the whole ordeal.
Of course their main "argument" was that all refugees would be criminals and increase the crime rate in Germany.
Proves their point! He is one of those criminal refugees himself, isn't he? First hand knowledge.
Next one: Alice Weidel. Leader of the far right German AfD. Lesbian, originates from Switzerland and her wife came from Sri Lanka(?).
This is exactly what happened. And we are all laughing our asses of. The irony is so delicious.
In his mind Austria is probably still part of Germany.
Don't know the problem the far right have with this. They wanted foreigners banned from Germany, they got this foreigner banned from Germany. A job well done if you ask me.
We don't need another Austrian nationalist to fuck things up, our right idiots here are more than enough.
Elon Musk replies to post by far-right Austrian linked to Christchurch terrorist after X account restored
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Days after he was deported from Switzerland, Martin Sellner, a leader of Austria’s ethno-nationalist Identitarian Movement, posted a video of himself on X reading out a letter to his lawyer that he said was from authorities in the city of Potsdam.
A spokesperson for the city authorities confirmed to Agence France-Presse that an EU citizen had been served with a “ban on their freedom of movement in Germany” but declined to name them for privacy reasons.
Germany has seen a wave of huge demonstrations against extremism and the far-right Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, some of whose members attended the November meeting in Potsdam, since reports of it emerged in January.
Sellner gave a presentation at the event, attended by neo-Nazis, other extremists and business backers, on the practicalities of carrying out the mass deportations – referred to in far-right circles as “remigration” – of migrants, asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin deemed to have failed to integrate.
Sellner, who received donations from and communicated with the Christchurch terrorist Brenton Tarrant before the two mass shootings at mosques in 2019 that left 51 people dead, recently had his account on X restored.
Elon Musk responded to one of Sellner’s posts in which he commented on the Swiss police decision to shut down the weekend far-right event and ban him from the region for two months.
The original article contains 442 words, the summary contains 227 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
I thought he was only prohibited entrance to the Postdam city (where the meeting with AfD and CSU happened)
The city of Potsdam enacted the travel ban but it covers all of Germany. Sellner could dispute it in court though.
