Let’s be honest here, the link between mental illness, racism and violent, extreme rightwing ideology, it’s got a well documented history.

Let’s be honest here, this is your own, made up link and assertion.

A complete nut job fully loaded on the hatred shared by much of the rightwing.

Mental illness is not exclusive to the"right wing" there's been all sorts of mental illness contributing to terrorism and genocide by the left wing.

Many people might consider the likes of Stalin, Antonescu and Pol Pot mentally unstable.

 

People don't start ordering the execution of millions of people unless they're not quite right in the head.

 

Many consider Hitler and his Nazi party to have been a socialist organisation although not a communist one. There is sometimes said to be a fine line between left and right wing politics.

Those who promoted multiculturalism in Germany obviously overlooked what took place in the 1930s and 40s. The blood of those old nazis still flows in the veins of their descendants and it's beginning to bubble in anger.

 

Look at how the AfD has taken off in just a few years.

 

In spite of Merkel declaring in 2010 that multiculturalism in Germany had been a massive failure she and her fellow politicians insisted on shoehorning as many Muslims into the Fatherland as they possibly could.

You are skating on very thin ice withe the "blood of nazis" flowing in the veins of modern day Germans.  That is a very ignorant statement.  You are displaying the hatred and prejudice not the Germans you point fingers at.

You jest sir. From the Encyclopedia Britannica

''Hitler paid lip service to the tenets suggested by a name like National Socialist German Workers’ Party, but his primary—indeed, sole—focus was on achieving power whatever the cost and advancing his racist, anti-Semitic agenda. After the failure of the Beer Hall Putsch, in November 1923, Hitler became convinced that he needed to utilize the teetering democratic structures of the Weimar government to attain his goals.

Over the following years the brothers Otto and Gregor Strasser did much to grow the party by tying Hitler’s racist nationalism to socialist rhetoric that appealed to the suffering lower middle classes. In doing so, the Strassers also succeeded in expanding the Nazi reach beyond its traditional Bavarian base. By the late 1920s, however, with the German economy in free fall, Hitler had enlisted support from wealthy industrialists who sought to pursue avowedly anti-socialist policies. Otto Strasser soon recognized that the Nazis were neither a party of socialists nor a party of workers, and in 1930 he broke away to form the anti-capitalist Schwarze Front (Black Front). Gregor remained the head of the left wing of the Nazi Party, but the lot for the ideological soul of the party had been cast.

Hitler allied himself with leaders of German conservative and nationalist movements, and in January 1933 German President Paul von Hindenburg appointed him chancellor. Hitler’s Third Reich had been born, and it was entirely fascist in character.''
