> asylum seekers and German citizens of foreign origin deemed to have failed to integrate.

Read just a little bit more of the article ;)

My bad, that does change things. Somewhat surprising that they would include that item as it alone tips the legal scales against them dramatically.

I was skeptical enough to look over the linked correctiv article and I notice that while those contacted are generally quoted as dodging most of the other questions they invariably come out against expulsion of legal citizens.

> And all those who campaigned for refugees could go there, too.

Are there any credible sources for this independent of the correctiv article? Because this sellner character is approaching comic book villain level in their portrayal of him and thus I find myself not wanting to take the word of a single outlet.

  • I'm from the country Sellner is from - the same country Hitler was from! - and he is indeed comic book villain levels of evil. For example, he was in contact with the Christchurch shooter before he committed his terrorist acts.

    Just read his Wikipedia article [0] and you'll find out more about his character, like this gem:

    > Sellner said that Jews were a problem in the 1920s and made references to the "Jewish question"

    > Are there any credible sources for this independent of the correctiv article?

    Correctiv is a non-profit investigative journalism outlet that managed to infiltrate this secretive far-right meeting. They are known to be gold-standard levels of credible and have won a ton of journalism prizes. It's not exactly yellow press.

    Due to the very nature of it being a secretive meeting, their reporting is exclusive. Obviously the neonazis want to put on a nice face, so they didn't exactly invite Reuters to their lets-plot-deportations-of-foreign-born-citizens meeting.

    To quote his ideological companion from across the pond, Nick Fuentes :

    > This is why I tell people, hide your power level. OK? You're not hiding your power level if you're in a group chat with hundreds of people saying we're going to put people in gas chambers. OK, guys? [1]

    • My intent wasn't to ask about that specific meeting but rather about the reported positions of the individuals involved. No matter how reputable I wouldn't want to take a single source as fact when the claim is that someone secretly holds reprehensible views in private that contradict what he says in public.

      Setting aside the other attendees wikipedia more than covers sellner in that regard.
