Yale Professor: Musk Praises the ‘Blood and Soil’ Germans, Vance Meets AfD, Considered to Be ‘Too Hateful’ by Other Far-Right Parties
This is a modal window.
EXCERPT:
STANLEY: "So, when Elon Musk spoke to the AfD, he talked about Julius Caesar praising the German tribes for their warriors 2000 years ago. And he said, 'You should be proud of that past.' In other words, German identity is blood and soil, as the Nazis said. Musk is not praising Germans who are Jewish. He’s not praising my German family, my German Jewish family. He’s praising the 'blood and soil' Germans. That’s the side that — that’s the conception of German identity that we intervened to support. The vice president of the United States went there and didn’t meet with the German chancellor. He met with the head of a party that’s considered too extreme, too hateful for other far-right and anti-immigrant parties in Europe to ally with. That’s how bad the situation is. They normalized that party."
