Germany fucked themself in the elections today. I can't anymore ...

0 surprises with this outcome unfortunately

Quote from SooYoung

Tbh it's the outcome for most european countries

It is the natural outcome of the economic system we all share. There is only so much profit you can squeeze out of society before things start falling apart.

People will notice things are getting worse and start getting mad at those in power. Politicians and their donors will notice this, and they will direct that anger and resentment of the worsening society away from the system and the people that profit off of it (themselves) to somewhere or someone else like immigrants.

The rise of fascism is just a symptom of the problems. Parties like the Democrats in the USA who provided no material solutions and say everything fine/the economy is great etc lost, and parties like the Republicans won because they lied about what the problems were. It's as simple as that.

Quote from JiminieKookie

The two most voted parties today ... I am so mad

CDU is a party that did so much wrong in the past, that mostly young people stoped voting them, however they are the most voted party now with over 28% which means our new chancelor will be a stupid ass

Things why Friedrich Merz is a bad choice as chancelor:

1. When there was a vote for new laws he was against a lot of them including:

- No same sex marriage

- No medication for transgender kids

- Dosn't considers it a need to send men to prison who abused their wifes at home

and some other things...

2. He also wants to force unemployed people into work that they are not trained for and might be underpayed and where the people will not be happy with + he also wants to cut pay for unemployed people so the unemployment insurance should not pay for their living or apartment no more which in his mind would make people consider finding work, which will not work out since people can't work for whatever job, especially not if there is no place to work and as mentioned before the people are often not suitable for those jobs (handicaped, not trained, makes them unhappy,... etc.) and companies might not even want to hire someone who is not suitable, especially not if the company can't pay for more people working for them

3. We had a fundraiser on TV a few weeks back and celebs aswell as Youtubers and streamer donated for kids in need. Some people donated even over 100.000€ (a Youtuber donated the most money tho) and Merz just said: "I am donating 1.000€ per 1% of our last election results in (name of one state in Germany)" and he only donated around 5-6k altho he earns millions each year and could've donated the most money of them all.

4. In a lot interviews he said so much BS that people with a sane mind questioned why this guy was even allowed to speak

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2nd most voted party with 20% is the AfD who is considered as right winged. Court also tried to get them banned but it did not work out...

Why AfD is a bad choice to be voted for:

1. Wants to force people into marriages
2. Wants to force people into getting children
3. Considers the traditional family as the only valid form of household
4. Wants the DM back, which is the currency Germany had before the Euro
5. Wants to deport refugees back to where they come from
6. Wants to get rid of a lot foreigners who live in Germany
7. Wants to build a boarder around Germany
8. More passport controll for people travling in and out the country
9. Also wanting to force unemployed people into work
10. Wants to get rid of a lot things that benefit children, lower income people or handicaped people

I can't no more with this stupid shit, why do people vote these 2 parties? Who removed their brains when they went voting? I ...

this is unbelivably stupid, you guys. I am not sure what will happen when the next chancelor gets into office, but we are screwed.

I don't know much about German politics but from what I have seen the current SPD doesn't really have any good solutions or answers to the rise of fascism and the problems that led to it.

It's kind of concerning that the moment sort of reflects the SPD inability to have an effective response to the Great Depression and the crisis in the Weimar Republic in the early 1930s.

Die Linke seems to be the closest party in Germany to the one that represents my views.

im not german or anything.

but isn't that blonde women that runs that party a lesbian who is in a relationship with a woman from sri lanka ? because if so then the things ur claiming she promoting are quite contradictory '??

i also don't see the issue with removing illegal immigrants from your country???

or with prohibiting children from taking hormones??

politics is always a pendulum no matter which country. When you swing too far to the left, people eventually get pissed and vote for the right. When it swings too far to the right, people eventually get pissed and vote for the left.

Man with JD vance saying that germany should reconsider how they treat nazis in public discourse and then meeting with the AfD really tells me all that I need to know about the Trump administration and the AfD party

Quote from 4NIA4

The Daili Lama said it Best. "Europe belongs to the Europeans". Suggesting refuges return to native Countries. Then gets labeled a racist, of course.

I'd support that if it meant that Europeans should also return to their native countries from Americas, Australia, Africa and Asia. But we know that there is hypocrisy behind that statement - in reality it suggests that Europe is reserved only for Europeans, but the latter are free to travel and settle whenever they want.

Quote from 4NIA4

Agree with Daili Lama by keeping Cultures in their own Countries. Diversity works in the US, It doesn't in the rest of the World.

New World Americas and Australia. Have to ask the Daili Lama.

Xenophobic much?

Quote from 4NIA4

So your calling the Dali Lama Xenophobic?

The old guy who asks children to suck his tongue? Maybe he is. Makes no difference to me, I'm not Buddhist.

I didn't know that, definitely disturbing.

What did you think of playing fetch with a whale?

This is how the Dalai Lama plays fetch.
