Time to raise taxes, take away more parental benefits, and force people to work more hours. Anything to avoid touching the thousands of billions of generational wealth the elite is sitting on in e.g. real estate. Keep up the good work, 3rd biggest economy of the world, you can make it to 10th in a few decades.
Anything to avoid touching the thousands of billions of generational wealth the elite is sitting on
And don’t ask where that generational wealth comes from or what the companies that wealth was generated by did in the '30s and '40s of the last century!
Don’t mess with us, Germany. We already have enough problems, don’t screw us up now with this crap.
Don’t be fouled by “far-right” it’s more than that: The AfD is the new Nazi party
Oh geez. That’s not a great development.
All of Germany’s problems will become far worse if AfD gets to the levers of power… yet here we are.
In the end it’s the same fact-averse inanity we see with Trumpism.
It’s due to algorithms. We need to get society off corporatist social media ASAP, and improve labour rights and reduce the inequality. Class consciousness must increase.
As easy as making a U-turn with a
US garbage truckRam 1500 in an Italian villageUS garbage truckGarbage trucks and firetrucks are pretty much the only trucks in the US usually built on reasonably compact chassis without that useless stupendously long hood in front of the cab.
Fair indeed, I just always try to ridicule those 4-wheeled stinky ego caresses, this time didn’t turn out as well as I wished ;)
Firetrucks in the US are not built compact. The fire departments regularly argue for larger streets so that they can move their gigantic rigs around faster.
Indeed, but they are a fair bit more compact than regular cargo trucks, because they usually at least have the engine under the cab rather than in front of it.
In general pretty much anything automotive from the USA is over the top wasteful with every resource involved, be it fuel, material, or space.
You can, just drive to behind.
So exactly like in every other country shifting to the right and far-right. Which is all of them because we don’t lve in a fact based society anymore but one where those screaming their lies the loudest (by controlling the media and social emdia platforms) define reality.
because we don’t lve in a fact based society anymore
According to Merkel, Minsk 2 was a lie. I also don’t believe that Fukushima was the reason to end nuclear energy. The Euro stability was a lie. The promises of prosperity to East Germany were also lies.
A fact based society would solve all problems but the lies run deep and for a long time.
The real news is that the government is doing a really shitty job but it‘s not election season so this poll doesn‘t mean much. Things usually change a lot months before a major elections when all parties are campaigning and voters realize their vote is imminent and will have real consequences.
The left isn’t doing enough to address the cost of living crisis so people vote for the opposition even if it’s worse.
I blame the left, always, because they should and do know better. They choose to be greedy, entitled pieces of shit that focus on anything but reducing the disparity in wealth.
They would rather have fascism than communism, so that’s what they get every time.
Fascists do fascist things: Damned lefties!
If the left genuinely wanted to combat fascism, then they would work to reduce the disparity in wealth.
The solutions are right in front of our faces, but we refuse to enact them because that would mean taking power away from our rulers and putting it back in the hands of workers.
The left is doing their part to make sure fascism succeeds, and we should hold them accountable for it if we want fascism to fail.
Our Left party absolutely intends to do that and is very public about that intention. But they’ve never been part of a federal government, because not enough people vote for them. So how are they to blame? If anything, blame the centrists and conservatives currently in power.
Fair enough. If you want to replace everything I said about the left with centrists, then go ahead.
You can edit your post and replace it yourself.
Which left is in power to actually fight anything? The right fucks us over for decades, then screams “blame the left” and like the guy with propaganda-induced brain damage you are, you believe and parrot it.
I do not think that generalisation quite holds. The Left was never part of a federal government, and the party consistently advocated higher wages, stronger workers’ rights, and broader social protections.
That said, to be fair, The Left was often part of state governments in eastern Germany. In that context, it did have at least limited opportunities to legislate in favour of ordinary people. Many of those people nevertheless grew frustrated and felt let down, because their economic situation did not improve under left-led governments. I would argue, however, that this is only secondary. Primarily, I’d say the rise of the AfD is due to factors rooted in federal politics, flawed decisions made after German reunification, globalisation, deficits regarding political education, and in more recent years: Russian influence.
???
I mean it makes sense, why would you vote for the copy if you can vote for the original?
Anyone who votes AfD would have voted for the N(S)DAP back in the day
Here we go again…
I am so happy that we allowed for unlimited military spending with the change of the Grundgesetz last year. Nothing bad could come from this…
That was a one-time exception with a clearly defined number. The way things are going I doubt the current government could get the necessary majority again next year.
That was a one-time exception
In a historic vote, the German Bundestag has lifted constitutional restrictions on defense spending
The U.S. was supposed to be the Germans here, Germany.
This is a poll three years from the next federal election. It is also worth mentioning that the Left and Green parties are gaining support in the polls as well. Also even with these polls, chances are that there is not going to be a coalition with the far right.
Up to three years…
When are German elections due?
End of march March 2029 at the latest (federal).
Ty!
This year in local elections the Nazis could take over one of your 16 states already
At first I thought this was ASDF :(
