Sat is not friedomm. Greeting, your FDP.

(Explanation, for those not familiar with politics: the liberal party in Germany is infamous for blocking progressive economical legislation reasoning it would impede freedoms. For example they blocked a ban in advertising food containing high amounts of sugar, claimingit would impede parents’ freedom to buy candy for kids (it wouldn’t).)

That headline is wrong. There were six-day working weeks before, we only moved forward and away from them.

You bring no arguments I could ignore. You only make assumptions and claims.

How do you even come to the conclusion BSW was authoritarian (that describes the use of (or desire to reach) a strong central power the rejection of political plurality) or left wing (which is defined by striving for societal progress and especially equal rights and equal chances for everyone, which BSW denies migrants).

and mostly a east Germany phenomenon.

That is something you never brought up before. What point do you think you make with this phenomenon?

they will probably sit left from the view of the podium.

Where you sit usually concurs with your political positions, but does not define it.

If we’d take the Horseshoe theory again

Why should we, since it’s debunked?

Another takeaway is that they are absolutely a threat to democracy,

Again something you claimed but never supported with anything.

Instead of insinuating stuff, you could also bring arguments. But I guess you have none. It shows.

Zarenknecht.

Lol. I never said National Socialist was left, I said BSW is not left. It is not considered left in the german political landscape (except by right wing nutjobs like AfD).

I got my political knowledge straight, you’re making stuff up.

BSW has too many positions that are not considered left (their stance towards migration alone is all but left). And where are it’s authoritarian positions?

You’re throwing around a lot of terms that don’t mean what you think they mean.

At best, you have no idea of what you’re talking about. At worst, you’re spilling BS on purpose.

Honestly, this is why using only a left-right axis to describe politics is inadequate. If the term wasn’t prestressed, BSW would be literally National Socialist (but please don’t use that term, because, you know, Hitler, and she’s far from that).

Oh and BSW being a SED clone is regarding Wagenknecht being a SED politician and her very close ties into the Kremlin.

That’s oversimplifying if I’ve ever seen oversimplifying. To the point of disinformation. Wagenknecht wasn’t allowed to study because she clashed with the regime, was accused of a hunger strike during military training and joined SED *half a year before the Wall fell with the intention of reforming it. And licking Putin’s boots is not enough to be an SED clone.

Dude, get your facts straight or shut it.

You’re right about lemmy.ml, but I wouldn’t really call BSW left. It has some left position on labour, but besides that… Nope.

And Die Linke seems to have gotten rid of Putin bootlickers with the departure of Sabra Wagenknecht and her peers.

Wrong. You’re spreading desinformation.

I’m not much too deep into french politics. I just wanted to point out that there are more options than either of two persons having too much control, simply because I hate false dichotomy fallacies.

BSW is no SED-Clone. BSW is a personal cult for Sahra Wagenknecht very populistic, pro workers ( which are left positions) but also pro putin and anti migration (which are all but left positions).

Also, Die Linke (left wing party) has no ties to Russia since Wagenknecht and her peers left.

And stop that “BoTh SiDeS” BS. It has no merit and is a false narrative.

Why not have the parliament have the final say?

No, it’s because there is no electoral threshold for EU elections in Germany. Every party with enough votes for a seat gets that seat (which is projected to be around 0.5% but depends on the total number of voters). Unfortunately, this is the last election without a threshold in Germany

That’s because they changed the 4-design.

And yet, the ultra right found the expression of “green filth” due to one minor case of irregularities of a few officials who got into office before the department it is associated with got a green secretary.

Btw, the Greens are the party with the fewest scandals of all parties that were ever in a german government (and at least one that (luckily) never was). And it ain’t even close.

Yes, of course a product that is less available, more expensive and has potentially more hurdles to obtain will be bought less, but that’s not what I meant and these things are specific to sweden and don’t necessarily apply to the rest of Europe.

Tesla being a company with shitty morals and being owned by an asshole is nothing that influences buyers’ decisions enough large. Look at other brands that build their cars with forced labor in china. Are people buying fewer of those cars?

I like your optimism. But I’ve seen too many people still buying products from questionable manufacturers in full knowledge of the issues and with alternatives available.

Unfortunately, stuff like this doesn’t seem to influence buyers’ decision making.
