This is a very obviously biased argument that both sides make about themselves.
The AfD literally published a manifesto of new and notably more conservative policy goals in 2017.
They do not claim to have the political stance of Germany 25 years ago, they themselves say that they are something new (For example, point 1 is an adoption of Swiss-style direct democracy, which is a notable shift to the right).
I encourage you to think much more deeply than "I saw this meme and it resonated with me," because the same is true of the American Tight, despite Elon's claim (Regan, for example, was very famously against Tariffing Canada).

- RC_ITR 24d ago>Since when did direct democracy became a right wing concept? It's intended to make Parliament powerless (when you read the document, I'm sure you saw that part), so, I'd say it became a right wing concept when it was proposed by a far-right political party in 2017 to move Germany to the right.

- sajithdilshan 24d agoSo next time if a far right political party suggest that everyone should eat vegetables for good health, then eating vegetables becomes a far right concept?
- RC_ITR 23d agoControlling what people eat is definitely authoritarian/right-wing. For a historic example, you may be interested in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Grain https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_for_Grain Maybe try a different example to make your point?
- sajithdilshan 23d agoThat’s like the dumbest take ever. Then all the veganism movement for the sake of climate must be right wing as well. How about the grass is green logic? If the right wing parties started saying that grass is green and that’s the nature then anyone saying the same thing is right wing as well? Like how dumb are you? Don’t you have a brain to think than being brainwashed by left ideological nonsense?
