    Just suggest them being infiltrators. Raises all kinds of red flags without sounding too dramatic.
    It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

    Isn't it basically the same?

    If we’re being honest with ourselves, with the collapse of the USSR, Germany should’ve ceased being a nationstate and instead shattered into a serious of city states and protectorates. Now the Euros have a economic nightmare/ juggernaut on their hands that will overtake them politically and eventually develop a military just as nasty as what they’ve tranditionally had. Germany is the ultimate threat to world peace.
    Sure I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is Im not. I honestly feel that America is the best country and all other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

    I hvae always wanted to ask whether the German nation is a thing. In my historical video games, "Germany", is Bavaria, Cologne, Brandenburg, Saxony and dozens of other independent nations. I remember reading when Trump's grandfather was being deported to America, he wrote a letter to the prince of Bavaria asking to be allowed to stay. I think it was part of Germany at the time. Maybe Bavaria had an independent immigration policy?

    I wonder how much Germans feel Germany is a single nation, rather than a federation of distinct nations. Maybe what these EU federalists want is to turn Europe into Germany. I always say that the EU is just the newest iteration of the HRE.

    Infiltrators has a more persuasive tone than traitors.. the first word raises curiosity, while the second gives a dramatic charge. Given it's politics, curiosity is the more exotic option.

    Yet you also forget HRE was born largely due to the necessary for an united organization to combat foreign pressure and solve internal difference.
