Imagine you are mainstream media. Picture a scenario where, in the midst of a pandemic, you outrage not because of open borders contributing to the pandemic, but because a black man who hosts an imitation American Idol television show dared to complain about those open borders. So, you call him a "Nazi" - because of course!
As Stern reports under bold headline "Nazi rhetoric: Xavier Naidoo agitates against migrants" (translated):
Notice how the news reporter for this major corporate publication, a subsidiary of the conglomerate Bertelsmann, is parroting the same views as Antifa. Ergo, we can conclude that either corporate media reporters get their politics from Antifa, or Antifa determine what is true and correct based on what corporate media reports.
Except Naidoo has now been fired.
ARD, RTL...these are German media companies; much like the web of corporate media control in the United States, German media is thoroughly consolidated, and directly linked to major political parties that demand open borders to flood the country with those who will work at underpaid rates to serve the rich who control them.
As Stern reports under bold headline "Nazi rhetoric: Xavier Naidoo agitates against migrants" (translated):
As a juror at "Germany is looking for the superstar", Xavier Naidoo is supposed to help young artists to take their first steps in the music business. He should be a role model and an inspiration at the same time. But a video of the singer, which is currently being circulated on social media, especially on Twitter, is shocking. It is unclear when the video was made. The clip appears to be a snippet of a longer recording. For whom Naidoo sang the song is also not confirmed. The Twitter channel of the platform "Antifa Tick Bite" shared the clip:Here is the clip.

Ergo, we can conclude that either corporate media reporters get their politics from Antifa, or Antifa determine what is true and correct based on what corporate media reports.
In the nearly one-minute clip, Naidoo stirs up hatred against refugees and spreads conspiracy theories with an apparently self-composed song. "You are lost, you don't even open your mouth for yourself," the 48-year-old sings. "Your daughters, your children shall suffer, should dress up with wolves in the sports hall," he rhymes. No one can save Germany yet, he adds.Except, unbeknownst to the Stern reporter, Naidoo said "almost every day", not "every day" - so the reporter's commentary, which seeks to disprove what Naidoo suggests, does not. So much for the great "debunk" (1, 2).
Naidoo also spreads the theme of murderous immigrants, which is popular in right-wing circles. "And again. I love almost everyone, but what if a murder happens almost every day, in which the guest steals a life from the host," he sings.
It is, however, factually incorrect that a murder is carried out every day by a refugee.
On Twitter, the clip caused outrage. "No stage for racists and intellectual firebrands. Especially not in Hanau, Halle Kassel!" writes ARD journalist Georg Restle, for example.
Next Saturday, RTL will have its first live show – with Xavier Naidoo as one of the judges. The Cologne station reported the following: "We are irritated by the video and the content and clearly distance ourselves from racism in any form," a spokeswoman said.
Except Naidoo has now been fired.

Small wonder ARD and RTL are up in arms about Naidoo's clip; Naidoo is a modern music culture icon, so his assessments could influence popular opinion and force the media and politicians to work harder to sell the voting public on infinite immigration.
Note that Naidoo's show was the brainchild of a man who brought us So You Think You Can Dance and Q'Viva, not to mention acts like the Spice Girls, Annie Lennox, Amy Winehouse, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, among others. This speaks volumes about the bill Naidoo was supposed to fit. Like all the others, Naidoo was hired to serve up distraction, not wake people up. He was supposed to ignore what is going on, paint a smile on his face, take his paycheck stub and go home. Some of his music might give the viewer such an impression, because it offers the same sort of word salad poetry women tend to appreciate, concerning feelings and emotions about basic-bitch, apolitical themes:
But as it turns out, Naidoo has his eyes wide open.
As Wikipedia notes:
Take note of the part in the Wikipedia article about the so-called Reichsbürgerbewegung - the movement presenting the argument that the National Socialists, under leader Adolf Hitler, created a suprastate from which the European Union was later modeled, meanwhile abolishing a Germany that, after the war, was replaced by a registered company (GmbH) set up in its place.
Note how the anti-right Amadeu Antonio Foundation presents the Reichsbürgerbewegung as a slippery-slope in the following image below:
Basically, they are saying that, if you believe the government is illegitimate, you might determine that you should not have to pay taxes and the whole thing can also lead to anti-semitism and anti-semitic stereotypes - the next thing you know, you are wearing Stahlhelms (Germany's iconic combat helmets) and marching around!
Slippery slope is their only defense, it seems.
Anyway, as for Naidoo's current situation, it is hard to pick my favorite part of the comedy; on the one hand, we have the lib-left, greens and establishment turning Naidoo into a Black Nazi-Boogeyman. On the other hand, we have the lib-left, greens and establishment taking the absolutely racist position that Naidoo, because of his skin color, must automatically support certain policies and have a certain opinion about history like all other darker-skinned people.
But actually I am going to revise my thesis. If it is "Nazi" to not want to pay taxes, to believe the current government is illegitimate, to want secure borders, to question the success of integration if criminal migrant gang territory emerges, then it is discrimination to exclude someone from being called "Nazi" because of the color of their skin. A "Nazi" is a "Nazi": we just need a consensus on what Nazi is so that we can use it without discrimination or prejudice.
