This might have some truth to it, but you're derailing.
Derailing from what? The genocidal support govt actually being "authoritarian" right now on the streets, trying to scaremonger people by their political opponent being more "authoritarian" in theory and in the future?
This is by itself 100% derailing tactic against the critiques falling on them. Maybe if they try to address the actual issues they wouldn't have to fear far-right party which was marginal few years ago.
I think you know that one cannot engage by politics with Nazis to turn them. Far-right ideologies weren't marginal, they simply had no platform, the backlash of 2015 (nine years ago) didn't came out of nowhere.
The situation in the Middle East is sad, but it is not the "actual issue" in Germany at the moment.
Planning the deportation of millions of people based on racism from Germany is more relevant to German politics and this discussion at the moment than the politics of the Middle East that may or may not resemble this.
AfD is pretty much irrelevant in this deliberation, entire point of this news is that German govt, which is currently supporting genocide, literally transplant US political rhetorics in the system different than US, blackmailing you and everyone (unless you are actually in favour of genocide?). Last when i check Germany isn't even a two party system so there's more parties to choice and i'm sure not all of them are genocidal.
Genocide is the actual issue, as is the government repressing people protesting against it.
It's funny that you asked. Kinda shows that you didn't even read the title of the post, let alone the article. It's just "yeah, German politics, let me write what bothers me!!"
It's funny that you can't even form a coherent argument, and instead just deflect from the very real issue of supporting genocide.
What else bothers you? Why don't we discuss under the post about AfD that the weather in Poland could be better in Junary, and then blame me for deflecting from the very real issue of bad weather in Poland in January, eh?
