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.

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.

People are just so parasocial these days. Just read all the delusional comments from people who are complete strangers directed at content creators on YouTube comments, Twitch streams etc.

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

What's funny is older women who are unmarried are statistically much happier than their unmarried male counterparts

Would not surprise me, they prob divorced an emotionally stunted man toddler.

Quote from tetetete

Meh men are just jealous that women live independently and don't want to marry them

Now that women can get jobs and don't require a man with an income to survive, the shitty dudes that don't put any effort into themselves are wondering why they are alone.

I always find it funny when these other men complain about being single or are pathetic incels etc. I never understand it.

If they put a tiny amount of effort into developing a personality, having some confidence, personal hygiene, looking halfway presentable in public, and not having misogynistic political views etc. Women would not find them repulsive.

The bar is so low its practically on the floor.

Uhh, guess Ill just post some good songs in English since that's my native language.

Quote from Kataphract

That's not relevant.

I'm sorry for the blunt response but this topic I will no longer joke around on.

I don't like that song or the lyrics. Don't waste too much time and mental energy arguing with people on here tho its just going to drain your mental energy and make you feel bad.

The only way this stuff will change is if the company knows you guys are angry enough for it to affect their bottom line.

Quote from Kataphract

haha I got it! (my physics major self was kicking my teeth out when I was trying not to make that probability post KEK)

 


My probability calculation was just multiplying 1/2 over and over again. One could argue it was an exponent but not binomial distributions aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

So how does that formula relate to album sales?

K-pop is better when I can't understand the lyrics. One of the reasons I dislike specific songs in English is because the lyrics they have.

Quote from Aeicy

but these organizations make money based off the decisions made on an individual level to purchase something.

organizations don't point a gun to everyone's head to get themselves a car.

atleast where i live most people can't imagine living without one even when they have acess to a reliable alternative. Just because being in a car is more "comfortable".

I'm thinking more of a larger picture, I understand what you're saying but, in my country, you need a car to survive in most places. The cities are not built for walking. There are hardly any sidewalks and there are interstates that cut off neighborhoods from the rest of the city. Not even going to get into how there are many essential services that are not in walking distance especially in rural counties.

My country used to have very walkable cities and the best public transportation in the world, but all that was gutted and removed over the past 100 years because of things like government policy, and profit motive of private institutions.

The systems and structures around people incentivize people to make the choices they do in their individual lives. It's not individuals' fault for being consumeristic in a society that constantly bombards them with ads and is setup in a way to incentivize consumption from the top down.

Quote from SooYoung

No and i'm not planning on doing anything

The word is disgusting

There's humans out here who trying to justify the genocide that is happening in palestine

Homophobia and racism keep growing in every country

So i don't understand why i should do anything to prevent the world from burning

When most humans deserve to burn and disappear

I don't think this is an issue that can be fixed on the individual level. Most of pollution is done by large organizations and would need to be tackled on national/international level to really fix.

Quote from harambelives

No one really cares. USA and China pollute like it’s going out of fashion, oil/coal/gas consumption is still pretty high with less adoption of renewables, nuclear fission is dying and nuclear fusion is long way off, countries rather spend money on killing each other than saving the planet and so on.

Things passed on to individuals like paper straws or recycling bins hardly matter when those actions are massively offset by the above. If a street of residents recycle everything and use as little energy as possible for a year that’s still going to be undone by a local supermarket or shopping centre. McDonald’s giving paper straws doesn’t mean much when they’re using tons of electricity, frying oils, or using plastic cup/lids.

China is currently the largest fossil fuel polluter, mainly because of their large population and that a lot of the worlds manufacturing has been offshored and concentrated in China.

In China the share of non-fossil fuel energy consumption has risen to 16.6 percent by 2022 and the Communist party has a goal to reach 20% of primary energy to be non-fossil fuel by 2025. The party is aiming for emissions to peak in 2030 and be completely carbon neutral by 2060.

The Ministry of Ecology and Environment the People's Republic of China has an English policy paper on this if you want to look more into this. The Ministry of Ecology and Environment was created specifically to tackle climate change and was spun off of the National Development and Reform Commission a few years ago which is the executive agency that has planning control over the economy of China.

Quote from DaisyTheGenuine

"woke" crowd is not responsible for men bragging about being rapists

Holding everyone but men accountable is why they're proud to brag about being rapists

Sad that these people feel comfortable enough to say the quite part out loud, again.

Quote from Owned_by_Irene

I really don’t understand why this is going extremely viral. Some edgy incel online says something that doesn’t even make sense and gets over 80 million views. This is why Trump won..the media, the woke crowd, leftists are giving these type of people too much energy and attention that it’s making other loser men want to join them.

That's Nick Fuentes. He's a white supremist and a Holocaust denier. Trump invited him over to his house in Florida a few years ago and had dinner with him.

Quote from superyeah

I'm not saying voting for Trump's fiscal policy is right or wrong. I think a Trump presidency is destructive socially and culturally. People who vote for him "just for the economy" need to be honest with themselves if they're buying into all the fear-mongering that he and the far right continuously do.

They can't claim "I dislike Trump, but I love his policy" when they're also letting far right fear-mongering tactics dictate their outlook on things. That's a disingenuous view that contributes to hate and bigotry.

I know there are people who voted Trump because they grew up poor in another country, so they now see maximizing their income and profits as a top priority. Okay, fair. I just hope they don't buy into the divisive rhetoric or promote any of it. Unfortunately, it often goes hand in hand in today's political climate.

A lot of people are ignorant and do have prejudice or archaic views when it comes to cultural issues.

The main thing people care about though isn't the cultural issues, if you want to get enough of these people to vote for leftwing candidates you need to have a message that focuses on improving their material conditions.

The snobby elitest people in charge of the Democrat party want to close their eyes and plug their ears when working class people talk about the hardships they are going through.

The Republicans see this and sell working people snake oil: "Ohh we see your suffering, but it isn't because of the wealthy/capitalism, or our Neoliberal polices. You see those brown people over there it's their fault, they took all the good jobs, they are ruining your towns/country some of them even speak other languages be very afraid"

They are tapping into the anger people have about how the system fails them, and they point out a scapegoat to direct peoples anger too instead of fixing issues.

He didn't fix the train system. He kind f'cked it up worse

The railroad workers' union was dissolved and nearly 50,000 employees were fired on political grounds. The toll for work accidents on heroic projects soared. As the direttissimi whizzed by on schedule, aged commuter locals filled with workers were shunted onto sidings.

If King Victor Emmanuel III only knew (joking)

Quote from ThePhantomThief

Mussolini DID promise to make the trains run on time though

Is that why he invaded Ethiopia? Did they have bad trains too? My man just wanted to fix the trains

Quote from superyeah

Voting in favor of Trump's fiscal policy is understandable, but to depict him as a hero and "good guy"? Nope. That's cringe.

You don't have to align yourself with the divisive fear-mongering perpetuated by the far right. That kind of fear-mongering incites hate and bigotry. There's really no need for all that if you're truly voting based on policy instead of personality or party as you claim.

Voting for Trump for the economy is like voting for the NSDAP in Germany because you like their infrastructure projects. Well, I disagree with his hurtful rhetoric but I like the Autobahn

Quote from frala19

Pretty much all hugely popular policies btw. It would be so easy for them to run on a platform of progressive populism, but they simply refuse because it goes against their own interests of capital accumulation for the elite.

Yep, also their donors would hate it.
