…ngsschutz) categorizes the AfD in several states—amongst them Thuringia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt—as “definitely right-wing extremist,” and a German court decided in 2019 that it’s legal to call Höcke a fascist. A similar ruling followed in 2023 stating that it is legal to call him a “Nazi,” since this was not an insult but a “value judgment based on facts” that’s covered by freedom of opinion. Both rulings are telling given Germany’s strict libel…

…y measures to stop the spread of the pandemic. The pipeline between anti-vaxxers, esotericists and right-wing extremism can be very short, as the previous years have shown. Inadequate denazification You may still wonder how this could have happened. These events might seem especially bizarre from an international perspective, which might view Germany’s attempts to come to terms with the horrific history of and its role in the Holocaust as impressi…

Gandhi, his Grandson, Israel, and the Jews

By Shalom Goldman

…ews of Germany were persecuted—but where would their persecution lead? To exile? Or to extermination? Buber’s letter shows both his respect for Gandhi’s thought and his concern for making distinctions between the Jewish situation and that of Indians in South Africa and India. Buber addresses the Mahatma respectfully: I have been very slow in writing this letter to you, Mahatma. I made repeated pauses—sometimes days elapsed between short paragraphs…

By Lauri Lebo

…s a guide for publishers hoping to land the lucrative textbook market of Texas. Texas is the second largest bulk purchaser in the country, second only to the bankrupt California education system. And many other states follow Texas’ lead and buy the same version. So that means students across the country could be forced to read McLeroy’s myopic vision of America’s past. The organization, which champions faith and defends religious freedom, sent a l…

By Rob Shryock

…his control over recent years, pushing out dissenters and giving himself “executive elder” status, which makes him basically impossible to remove from his own church. In this world, arguing against Driscoll becomes the ultimate no-win situation: you either agree with him, or, in disagreeing with him, you just prove how much the world is against him, and thus how godly he is. But Driscoll, in being so offensive, is also impossible to ignore, too ex…

You Can Take The Boy Out of the Crack House: MyPillow CEO’s New Book Promo Has Deep Roots in American Christianity

By Daniel Schultz

…ndell’s Rupert Pupkin mustache and Rupert Pupkin grin to the cheesy gold text superimposed over bargain-basement CGI clouds and sunshine to evoke some kind of glossy faith implies a rip-off of the tawdriest sort, the kind of remainder-bin book most people sensibly buy for kindling or building walls with. But there’s Lindell nattering away about nearly getting killed over a gambling debt in Mexico as though it were the highlight of his career. Is i…

BYU Honor Code Used to Harass Black Atheletes

By Joanna Brooks

…cohol to lure teenaged athletes to Provo, downplaying the University honor code, then expecting young men to fend for themselves in a highly conservative Utah town where trouble finds black folks fast. It’s a picture not at all surprising to those of us who have attended BYU and witnessed both the differential status accorded to BYU athletes as well as the potential for honor code enforcement abuse. Twenty years ago, when I worked for the independ…

…nicated who belongs to Germany for him and who does not: “Kreuzberg is not Germany. Gillamoos is Germany, ladies and gentlemen.” Kreuzberg is a multicultural, artsy, Left-leaning district of Berlin, whose supposed degeneracy Merz juxtaposes with the wholesome homeyness and patriotism of White, rural Bavarian Gillamoos. Decent, hard-working White country folk, cast as a bulwark of patriotism against the bogeyman image of the debauched, degenerate c…

How Postwar Germany’s Witchcraft Trials Can Help Us Understand QAnon And Other Conspiracy Theories

By Monica Black

…and media, among others) were only starting to be rebuilt. And early West Germany was a place steeped in fear: that what had been concealed might be exposed. Some likened the situation to a latent civil war, one that manifested itself in the ever-present possibility that some acquaintance—a neighbor, maybe, or a coworker or former associate—might decide to tip off authorities about one’s “former political life” about what one had done, that is, u…

Burma’s Spirit Festival, and More in This Week’s Global LGBT Roundup

By Peter Montgomery

…enough. Any popular street movement that shades into the far-right feels toxic in Germany, more so than in France, for the obvious historical reasons. But perhaps a deeper, albeit unproveable, reason has to do with the formal status of religion in the two countries. In France, ever since the Revolution, and especially since the regime of laicité or strict secularism began in 1905, being a practising Catholic (or, you might argue, practising any re…
