Indeed. And I think almost certainly, given the narrowness of the conviction vote, Socrates could have gotten away with even just a trivial fine. And yeah, the issue here wasn't his teaching per se, but his connections to The Thirty (which he denied, to be clear).

To slightly push back: in 2025, 70% of AfD's vote came from the West. They overperform in the East, but they're still scarily strong in the West, by which I mean about half the voter percentage of the American Republicans, who are engaging in mass deportations right now.

I think you are being pretty reductive here. The argument is that leader-worship, cults of martyrdom, hatred of the other are ancient, embedded traits which, in a modern context, can crystallise into fascism.
