German police got one of these ridiculous machines a few years ago without any idea for what they should use it.

Denke sich ein Jeder zu der Reaktion der osnabrücker CDU auf diese Kunstausstellung, was er will.

Für mich steht fest: So fängt es immer an. Kunst ist mitunter immer das erste Opfer.

Hey @CDU wir Bürger wissen längst, dass ihr mit der #AFD ein Verhältnis habt. Nach den Letzten #Wochen und #Äußerungen, könnt ihr euch das Abstreiten sparen❗

WENN ICH NOCH JEMANDEN SAGEN HÖRE "DIE UNION HAT DIE EUROPAWAHL GEWONNEN" FLIPP ICH AUS. NEIN IHR IDIOTEN GEWONNEN HAT DIE AFD

Hab so eine vorgefertigte Email bezüglich der neuen Asylpolitik an die drei Abgeordneten aus meinem Wahlkreis (SPD, CDU, Grüne) geschickt, weil ich die aktuellen Pläne schon eher komplett scheiße finde. Wie es Jan Böhmermann gut auf den Punkt gebracht hat: Gute Ausländer rein, schlechte Ausländer ZAUN.

Mir hat tatsächlich die Abgeordnete von der CDU zurückgeschrieben - schonmal mehr als ich erwartet hatte. Ich hätte ja gedacht, dass die Union als Oppositionspartei grundsätzlich alles was die Ampel macht schlecht findet. Aber wenn's darum geht nicht blütenweiße Menschen raus zu halten ziehen sie wohl alle an einem Strang.

Na, ja. Ich dachte vielleicht interessiert's ja wen was die so zu sagen haben. (Name der Politikerin ist raus damit ihr nicht gleich wisst wo ich wohne)

Falls noch jemand Emails schreiben will ist hier übrigens der Link. Vielleicht bringt's ja was

Not a musician, but a German Christian Conservative, if that counts 🙃

This is so awesome

Hiii how would you respond to the ""argument"" that some people make that: when the Berlin Wall fell, which way did people go? impling that those on the communist side were eager to go over to the capitalist one. Thx

West Germany had been bribing people with gifts and money to cross even before the Wall fell. The first impressions of West Germany were very good indeed, but by the time you were able to see past them, it was much more difficult to go back if you were a member of the majority of people who didn't find success and wealth on the other side. And once the Wall fell, the path back was cut off permanently. The capitalists made sure to excise every remnant of socialism with top-down neoliberal economic reforms while people were still high from the end of travel restrictions and an influx of shiny consumer goods. The people were told they'd be given democracy and they thought that meant they would get the chance to reform socialism, but instead the West pumped their billions into the pro-Western "Alliance for Germany" led by the CDU, organizing under the banner of "nie wieder Sozialismus", and the communists were suppressed in Germany once again, with the major leaders of the SED imprisoned. Poverty, unemployment, homelessness, depression and suicide all rose in East Germany just like in every case of Eastern Bloc countries subject to "economic shock therapy", and it was never the result of popular democratic decision-making. German reunification was a case of the Western capitalists seizing control of the East for their own profit at the expense of the people's wellbeing. They were effectively punishing the East for daring to have been socialist in the first place, to the point where East Germany is still poorer than West Germany despite reunification.

That's why people might have felt the desire to move west, but most people stayed in their hometowns for the same reasons anyone would. The majority of the older generations in the East still have a positive view of the Communist period (dubbed "Ostalgie" by the West, to imply that it's all just nostalgia and never a sober comparison), and Die Linke, the direct descendant of the SED, still gets a bigger share of the votes in the East than in the West. If we're supposed to believe that people who lived through this period all know better than to support socialism and that only privileged Westerners who were never there could ever think communism is a good thing, then surely the opposite should be true and Die Linke should be more popular in the big Western cities full of liberal arts majors and transgender baristas, right?

Aus der Welt der Verkehrsteilnehmer

Der Unterschied zwischen Paris und Berlin:

In Paris bauen sie Radwege. In Berlin versuchen CDU und SPD, den Bau von Radwegen mit aller Kraft zu verhindern. Auch dann, wenn diese bereits fertig geplant (zum Teil schon erstellt) sind.

Dazu, dass das Töten von Menschen vermittels Auto deutlich weniger Strafe nach sich zieht, hatte ich mich in den letzten Tagen schon mehrfach geäußert.

Dabei wäre es ganz einfach: Wer einen Menschen mit dem Auto getötet hat, bekommt neben der Strafe nie wieder einen Führerschein. Am besten EU-weit.

What is wrong in Germany right now, because why is the AfD (a far right nationalist party) one of the most voted parties for the age group 16-24. Do people people think that it is funny or do they genuinely believe in the values (if you can call them that) that the AfD stands for. I know that in the past years there was a rise in popularity for conservative parties with the youth but the AfD can't even be considered conservative, theren are people actively trying to get them banned for a good reason and in some regions they are considered "verfassungswidrig", which means that they go against the German constitution.

The general result aren't any better,.AfD is the second most voted party, whilst the CDU (conservative Christians) are the most voted. The CDU isn't surprising but still, what does it say about a country when the most voted party are conservatives that don't support the LGBTQ people and are trying to pass legislation that forbides "Gendern", which in German means language that also includes people that don't identify as male or female. Instead the CDU supports Israel whilst preaching "nie wieder" (never again) in regards to the holocaust.

And furthermore if you look at which parties are most voted in which areas you'll see that the AfD is mostly favoured by the east, the very people who grew up and whose parents and grandparents grew up in the DDR (East Germany), where they were spied on and threatened by the government and barely had any freedom. Haven't they learnt anything.

And why is it that only 64,8% of the population have voted? What about the rest? How is a democracy supposed to work when over 1/3 of the population doesn't vote? Does their future matter this little to them? Even my extended family that are in vacation during the elections have voted by post beforehand.

Und sowas nennt sich ""Bürgerliche Demokratische Mitte"

An dieser Stelle will ich auch nochmal daran erinnern dass Fritze Merz gegen die kriminalisierung von Vergewaltigung in der Ehe gestimmt hat (was für mich sehr viel darüber aussagt wie seine Ehe so abläuft...)

fellow germans, i don't know what to say anymore, was ist denn hier los

Ich hasse die AFD wie ich noch nie etwas gehasst habe. Ich hasse sie als Konzept. Ich hasse sie als Ansammlung von Menschen, denen die eigenen Gefühle wichtiger sind als Menschenleben. ich hasse es, dass die CDU es wagt sich christlich zu nennen und dann in die selbe Kerbe schlägt. Ich hasse es das alle Debatten sich immer wieder um die Flüchtlingspolitik drehen, als ob wir nicht ein massives fehlende Menschenproblem in Deutschland hätten. Ich hasse die Vorstellung, dass es so viele Menschen gibt die lieber Kinder im Mittelmeer ertrinken lassen als auch nur ein kleines bisschen von ihren Reichtum abzugeben.

In other news: am Sonntag war Landtagswahl.
