Gleichschaltung

Yeah.

I mean, look, with the Nazification of the Republican Party, like that, that that wacky stuff is going mainstream.

And I hate to say it, but this election, which I'm excited about, or at least I'm optimistic about.

Yeah.

Okay, yeah, I'm Dror.

I'm a filmmaker and I'm a lecturer for media production and documentary film in John Moores University in Liverpool.

And also I've been involved in Palestine Solidarity in Germany for, I would say, 10, 15 years, and sort of in recent times, a bit more back and forth between England and Germany.

Yeah, and great to be back.

And then like literally on the bus on the way home, we saw that like half an hour after we left, the whole thing was just was banned and taken out.

So I wasn't there, unfortunately, for the banning itself.

And again, I also, you know, a bit... uh neglecting my my duty as a filmmaker because i should have i should have been there also with a camera recording all of this but you know a lot of good comrades have done that as well that was an issue but um but that was the day yeah and then the next day we had a press conference about the ban and i was asked to also speak at the press conference so i talked a little bit on the press conference itself um but yeah that that was how i uh experienced that that day yeah

Was there any consequences for the organizers, Helena?

We start with Donald Trump.

We move on to the increasing detachment of migration conversation from migration facts and figures to the question of whether the Germans are actually embarked upon a process of re-Nazification.

Three extraordinary moments, really, in European and transatlantic discourse.

But here we are.

And they freak out about the far right, and their solution is not to try to change their policies that are provoking the rise of the far right.

Their solution is to try to shut it down and steal the elections from the far right or cancel elections or, or arrest the members of the far-right parties like the AFD, which, which is, uh, pilloried as a, a, a re-Nazification of Germany if they come to power.

We're starting to see things like that happen in this country.

I disagree with Beau French and his statement of these young American men celebrating their football team.
