I just skimmed wikipedia's policies section

And skimmed right past the parts where it says they are also climate change deniers, pro-Russia, anti-Muslim, nationalistic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-feminist and this part

In early March 2021, most of Germany's major media outlets reported that the Bundesverfassungsschutz had placed the whole AfD under surveillance as a "suspected extremist group".

Maybe you should scroll a bit slower next time.

Yeah, probably. I should've put a little more time into it before commenting.

TBH, I have very little knowledge on Germany's political scene, I only ever really hear about AfD and how Germany's hate speech laws are abused. Also the Volkswagen emissions scandal. Kind of an irrelevant country at this point, they can't even meet their NATO obligations.

So your knowledge of Germany consists in large parts of some populist talking points and yet you jumped at the first opportunity to defend an extremely right-wing party and downplay their policies. That's... a choice.
