  • We’re very sceptic about the rigidity of the so called firewall (the confession of the big parties, especially CDU/CSU to form a coalition with the neo nazis). The chancellor candidate Merz (aka Mr. Burns) already jackhammered it by voting together with AfD against migration. Just yesterday he denounced millions of people who are protesting since the beginning of 2024 against the move of politics to the far right by asking where they were when Walter Lübcke a CDU governour fighting for migrants was murdered by a nazi in 2019. They were protesting in the thousands and the Antifa was investigating the backgrounds of groups like hammerskins, combat 18 or NSU. Mr. Burns yesterday also called lefts and greens “Spinner” (crazies) and was rewarded with frenetic applause by the bavarians to whom he was holding his speech. There are a few CDU politicians saying out loud that the firewall is history and they should work together with AfD.


  • Also wenn du komplett aus der Schleife bist, dann hilft vielleicht auch die Info, dass er nach Whistleblower-Informationen bei den Treffen der FDP zu ihrem D-Day Papier (basically ein Plan zum Sturz der Regierung von Lindner) Kritik daran geübt hat und nachdem es aufgeflogen ist aus der Partei ausgetreten ist und nun fraktionslos ist.



  • Many protests like that in Germany for a few years now. Mostly adolescent people from XR and FFF who tacked their hands to streets in neuralgic locations with superglue. They were one of the most hated groups by normies here and were compared to the 70s terror group RAF by politicians and boulevard media like BILD. Many videos in which good citizens forgot their temper and acted out in violent self justice when they feared to get late to work.

    In 2023 the country wide farmer protests started and held the republic captive. Thousands of 5-10 ton tractors drove down the whole country to Berlin. They did a lot of terroristy things like loading huge manure dumps and logs in the midst of highways and their exits, controlling the IDs of drivers to only let essential staff through, putting liable anti-constitutional placards on their tractors, purposefully obstructing traffic in the cities and some of them from east-germany wanted to storm the parliament. People died, car accidents happened, ambulances and doctors were to late for operations, huge loads of GHGs were emitted and streets were destroyed.

    All this because of the traffic light coalition wanted to cut subsidies for agrar fuels which was reverted pretty fast. Did the farmers stop then? Nope of course not. Went on for a few months. Those poor farmers couldn’t afford to live without the precious subsidies but could afford to blow heaps of fuel and not working on their farms. A young farmer tried to prove to the public that they were essentially poor by showing his tax documents on the german finance subreddit. It didn’t went well because he was rich. He deleted his post.

    Now from the sentiment on social media you could get the impression that a lot of the normies who wanted to have the “Klimakleber” (climate gluers) jailed or worse, cheered for the poor hard working farmers even when the protest really went violent. I live rurally and boy let me tell you how those poor farmers have plastered their barns and houses with solar panels because of the politics of the greens and the subsidies from the EU.




  • The AfD in Germany, currently propped up by Musk in the form of Alice Weidel, whose modus operandi is demagoguery wants the Brexit analogue Dexit. She was granted a 15 minute interview by bloomberg a few days ago. Basically every statement was a blantant lie. She proposed free trade regulatories for Germany without being in the EU. Every statement of hers was a lie. And she was frenetically endorsed by EU/German politics oblivious US MAGA heads and Nazis in the comments. All of her proposals would bring Germany and with it possibly huge parts of Europe to its knees and open the door widely for russian interference. I wrote a 6000 character fact-check under the video and garnered 3300 likes for it in one day. Yesterday it was deleted. It was a good run but I think Europe is damned. I partially blame covid brain rot for it.

    If I understood the article correctly the now still frozen 19 billion were part of an even bigger package where its payment required hungary to fight corruption (last on the corruption-index in the EU with 42 of 100 points and below global average). Orban vowed to do something and got money from the previously bigger funds. It seems he failed to really fullfill the requirements (as promised) and therefore the first billion of the rest of the funding was nullified and therefore is lost. I suppose the remaining frozen funding is still bound to anti-corruption-measurements.

    I hope this really is a win for the EU but I read somewhere else that the 1 billion was initially declared for infrastructure measurements in poorer regions (questionable how much would’ve actually ended there) and Orban now took a loan about 1 bln from China where the latter is investing into hungary by building factories for their BYD electric cars there.

    The sad thing is the rat will get their money if Mangione is convicted (and he most probably will even if he’s just a scapegoat). Even if the responsible office will block the reward, some CEO will jump in and hand him way more than the 60k. Maybe they’ll fabricate it into a heatwarming christmas story with some sad background stories of the rat and how they’re now able to pay off the mortgage of their parents home or something.



  • I read that the, to be allowed, 25 starts of the starship rocket will blast the equivalent GHGs of 975000 airliner flights or about the yearly output of 280000 homes, into earths atmosphere. So at first SpaceX is a threat to us.

    I downvoted myself. The claim was that one start and reentry of the Starship would emit 97000 tons of GHGs into earths atmosphere.

    Another redditor fact-checked it and it seems to be only about 3300 tons per flight so it’s 30 times less.

    100 starts of the Spaceship would amount to 0.3% of the total emissions of all airplanes in a year.

    I usually fact check posts with numbers in it and I feel bad for letting my guards down this time and spreading misinformation. Won’t happen again.
