In some street interview with AfD politicians I saw one dude talking about “relocating Germany’s politics in an upcoming multipolar world” or smth like that. Why are the ultrareactionaries now also on this talking point? Should they not despise that view and talk about usual nationalist stuff like “My country first”? Can someone explain this? Their politics have become very unsusal lately ( i mean judging by their usual politics)

    Because fascists are generally better at seeing which way the wind is blowing than liberals are. It is clear that the policies of the current mainstream political parties in Germany and the EU as a whole are a dead end. They are causing more and more people to turn away from the mainstream and look for alternatives that can at least admit that what is happening at the moment is not working. The far right, as usual, is there with populist rhetoric to catch the disillusioned. It doesn’t mean that they are actually serious about these positions. They will opportunistically use whatever benefits them.
