Yeah but the green party is like the official antagonist for the AfD
Of all the parties there are their favourite target to delegitimize at any possiblity

Who are those 50.000 that went from green party to afd? What kind of reason could there possibly be for that?
Also interesting how it’s the same as in the us where the answer to “how’s the country doing economically” vastly depends on your news sources since only a very low amount of people in Germany are out of work, the Dax is hitting multiple records in recent months, the economy is growing, inflation is going down and the unions are achieving raises above the inflation level
But for some reason all you hear about is the food prizes which actually didn’t increase that much compared to the normal shrinkflation. Or everyone was portraying how there would be disastrous power outages after the switch off of the atomic generators but nothing like that happened. Or how Germany had the lowest inflation amongst most European countries despite having the biggest dependency on russian gas because the political decisions made where actually really on point.
But for some reason nothing of this is reaching AFD voters so they keep ignorant and think the economy is failing.
Kind of similar to how regions with the fewest migrants are the most racist since the media has full control over the scare tactics targeted at them without any reality interfering
Brain drain finally showing itself
Most of the creative and ambitious people left the GDR when the wall came down.
I heard a theory recently from someone that was part of the peaceful revolution in Leipzig and now thinks that many people actually didn’t mind the government telling them what to do and then not really having a choice in the matter and being under constant surveillance as long as they had a decent life. And that the protests in hindsight probably were more about them seeing how much better the life in the west was than about the personal and political freedom since the GDR apparently did a pretty good job to get rid of those concepts (at least for many citizens).
Now those same people are again voting only for their personal gains and not for freedom for everyone to live however they want as that was never in their interest to begin with
The Venn diagram of “people that like Elon musk and want to support him with their money” and “people that consider buying an electric car for environmental reasons” is having very little overlap in recent years
Why only those 3? Aren’t the visegrad states all under attack by disinformation? Or is it not valid since it’s coming directly through state officials in Slovakia and Hungary?
The problem is that if a country treats money as unlimited and without a cost then inflation will mirror that and people in that country will lose their savings, their job will not pay for their bills anymore and so on
It’s not as simple as “just spend more”…
The problem is that “both” isn’t a valid option unless a country has unlimited finances.
Otherwise you have to decide on what’s the most feasible option and then renewables win big time
I sometimes feel as if the current push for atomic is from the fossil-lobby as they are aware that it either works and they get 10-20 more years to sell oil until the reactors are built - and even if it doesn’t work out it still will slow down rollout of renewables
If you have 100 billion to spend on energy producing you have to choose if you want to go all-in with one source or split it up which would move the end of fossil fuels Back further
Not to mention having to buy the radioactive materials from dictatorships and having problems to cool down the reactors with rising temperatures and rivers running dry
I just don’t see how atomic isn’t a huge gamble that can backfire hard (and I’m not even talking about catastrophic events like Fukushima)
And still some see the US constitution as this pinnacle of democracy when it’s vastly outdated by now
Even the founding fathers anticipated a lot of reforms and for the whole thing to become obsolete quite soon but yet here we are with people worshipping them as this infallible being and weighting their words on a scale as if it’s impossible for them to be wrong
I don’t think it’s serious - they just know that they have their right wing supporters safe already and try to gain more votes in the center by looking more moderate
Yeah. Hamas is using the citizens of Gaza as human shield from day one. It was impossible to fight this way with 0 casualties. I was only asking how that person imagined an appropriate response if even a single dead person was too much.
Bibi should be gone today rather than tomorrow - but Israel clearly had a right to respond to what Hamas did and the fact that Hamas was playing dirty all the time makes it impossible to respond in a way that doesn’t cause civil deaths.
So the appropriate reaction to what Hamas did would’ve been what exactly? Waving the white flag and rolling over?
What would swapping servers achieve?
Centrists are just right wing but too embarrassed to admit to it.
So no USP any more?
TBF the “flying empty trains around the world” were different companies that only bought the planes and had to adhere to stupid laws that would void their plane spots if they didn’t take off.
That’s like making Toyota responsible if a Toyota fanclub decides that you need to make 100k kilometers a year to stay in the club
Both are horrible but in this case it’s not useful to throw both in the same basket
Seems to me like it’s just the only place that’s actually enforcing the law and not treating the drivers as if they are untouchable
The police is actually doing their job? What’s the story here?
Or is it just a car-brain-argument about being held accountable at all is a bad thing?
SEO is wrong - it’s like an arms race where the shittiest party spending the most wins and every one else needs to play by the rules to even exist.
The world would be better off if noone did it in the first place and search engines could just do the job they intended to do.
Google totally went to shit in the last years with their first page often full of websites great at SEO but horrible in whatever you were actually looking for.
Meanwhile the little ultra-specific forum that had a thread years ago about your specific search and no money for SEO is somewhere on page 5 while websites just repeating the search phrase over and over with no answer in sight are at the top.
That whole industry can cease to exist from one day to the next and nothing of value would be lost - if anything value would be gained for the average person
Could be that they feared it spreading to other manufacturers, too and establishing a stronger union culture in the us?
I would imagine those would go vote for the Bündnis Sarah Zarenknecht instead
