I would imagine those would go vote for the Bündnis Sarah Zarenknecht instead

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

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)

The problem is that newspapers were kind of the only means to get the news in a concentrated form - now they are obsolete since everyone gets their news pretty much live and when the newspaper would be out the next morning it’s already old

So no USP any more?

Twitter also has a very large captive audience - yet their advertisers are running away

Twitter is showing me that no matter how big and relevant a network is the big companies care more about not advertising next to Nazis than about advertising in a popular space.

I’m hopeful that it’ll stay that way and the only ones advertising there will be those that are already supporting trump and that it’ll only cost them money by people boycotting their products.

Even if he wins the presidency he’s for sure not winning the popular vote and also for sure not winning the reasons most interesting for advertisers. Not sure that bet is going to hold up well in the end

The text mentions them supporting the “don’t buy from Jews”-BDS movement

Sounds very weird for a Jewish organisation indeed

The company will pay eventually - it’s mostly about making the money available as soon as possible before the legal responsibilities are cleared up

As a German I’m proud of our constitution, too, and I think it does a great job at making it as hard as possible for something like the Nazis to easily happen again.

That doesn’t mean that it was perfect all the time and is unchangeable.

I think it’s insane how the US things their constitution is the pinnacle of democracy - especially since it was the first one and others iterated on our

I get updates every other week

but I think it’s in a weird spot with not having regular English patchnotes - and afaik they also use an older rendering-engine

Vivaldi is the best!

Currently trying out Floorp as a Firefox fork for the possibility that Google’s disabling of adblockers in the manifest will make it impossible to use chromium browsers which is kind of good, too

But Vivaldi rules as long as chromium is an option!

Those are just insignificant compared to Google so noone is even trying to game them.

That’s actually one of the reasons why I use kagi but saying that they figured it out is just wrong

I think it’s right to try and stop the war and also right to try and replace the Israel government so Netanyahu can finally face the justice he’s running from for years.

Hopefully there will be a good solution including a Palestinian state in the end - but with both Hamas and some of the far-right ministers in Netanyahus cabinet both claiming all of Israel for them that’s not happening.

At least inside Israel it seems unlikely people will vote for him again and democratic change there is possible - as for Hamas I really don’t see how they will ever give up bombing Israel and doing monstrosities as the one that started this whole mess.

It’s horrible how the Palestinian people have to suffer both from Hamas and from Israel but painting Israel as the absolute evil is not helping anyone

@admins I think @Linkerbaan might have downvoted my comment because he disagreed with me and not because the comment was necessary bad quality which would break the same rule that resulted in my comment being deleted before
