Who is Bjorn?! Björn Höcke is a German politician and a member of Alternative für Deutschland (AfD). Along with Andreas Kalbitz, Höcke was the leader of the AfD's far-right Der Flügel faction, which the German government's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution declared a right-wing extremist organization. In November 2021, Höcke's parliamentary immunity in the Landtag of Thuringia was cancelled. He was accused to have ended a speech in May with a phrase used by the SA whose use is illegal under insignia legislation. The phrase was "Everything for Germany". The slogan “Everything for Germany” was introduced by the SA and its public use is punishable by law in Germany. |
Björn - or rather, Bernd, as he is more commonly known in Germany - Höcke sure is funny. Talks about suppressing free speech when he himself sued someone for calling him a fascist. The court found that it's perfectly okay to call a fascist a fascist, so Bernd lost the case back then.
He's also wrong about every "patriot" (read: nazi) being defamed as a nazi in Germany, because lately the conservative party has warned of using the nazi word too quickly. They are pursuing the same failed strategy they did when it came to anti-vaxxers during the corona pandemic.

As for the "center" debate, it's an American thing due to the two party system they have over there. In this context, "center" does not mean the actual center on the political spectrum, but being somewhere between the positions of the democrats and republicans. So on the political spectrum, this "center" is decidedly on the right to begin with, and even then, it's commonly used to put up an appearance as previously pointed out. It's similar to how nowadays a republican qualifies as a moderate for the sole reason that they do not believe that the 2020 election was a fraud. The USA has its own set of rules and perceptions.
