If you sit and watch the public chat forums on German TV, and observe news journalists a good bit....there is a trend topic going on right now. 'Tolerance-bullying'.
'Tolerance-bullying' is mostly where you stomp your feet and get all hyped-up that some folks you dislike and hate....don't show tolerance, and you began to make up this juvenile game of mobbing (the German word for bullying) them. The viewer watching this intellectual discussion begins to realize the mobbing technique used and starts laughing because it's 'fake'.
You get a forum set up and five people chatting away, and blaming all the woes in society on right-wing activity, and insisting that the 'righters' are unable to conduct tolerance like you'd expect in a civilized society. Shameful polling results, results from elections harming the normal 'big' parties, biased news pieces, and private interpretations of 'mobbing'....began to lead people to use the term tolerance-mobbing.
My personal view of this 'gimmick'? It relates to a phrase used often in Chinese society....Baizuo.
What is Baizuo? Well....it's not a pleasant term, and most will grin as they admit it's derogatory and oftens refers back to non-Chinese (western) liberal intellectuals.
A Chinese guy would use Baizuo to fit the guy or gal who is generally "obsessed with political correctness" to the degree that they think they have some moral superiority, when they don't have such a superiority.
Baizuo is basically identifying people who seem preoccupied in saving the world, or saving what they perceive as their society (they own it). Yes....in some ways, it's an identifier for 'fakeness'. And yes, this whole tolerance-mobbing game works in the same manner. Would this crowd even recognize true tolerance? That's a curious question, and I have doubts that these particular Germans have that ability.
If someone truly wanted to dismantle the AfD Party and the right-wing....simply sit down and reestablish the normal immigration rules that existed prior to 2013, and readily enforce that standard. If you have someone criminally-possessed (that's apparently their lifestyle) and they are in some probation period for the visa/citizenship deal? Is this individual really someone that you want to baby-sit for years or decades? With adult leadership, you could dismantle AfD in a matter of a year or two.
