News / Will PiS be happy if AfD wins elections in Germany? [1301]

had no base in reality.

is simply judging them by their actions and rhetoric.

For me as an ex-GDRian it sounds all the same....maybe one of the reasons the AfD is so succesfull in the East, the "warnings" sounding so similiar to those that came from Honecker and his SED....who knows!

What he fails to mention of course

So? I had a time discovering my family history too....my Opa lost two toes in WWII...his brother was KIA...I even asked the "Kriegsgräberfürsorge" if they had found a trace of his in the mean time...does that mean I'm a Neo-Nazi?

Do you hear the Brits or the Russians discussing their many, many war crimes during WWII? No? All Nazis now?

That is very normal!

....still dreaming of that equalist/socialist vision in a capitalist society?

Thing is...THAT IST NOT WORKING!

A socialist society always degenerates into a third world economy (no investors, no public sector at all anymore) very soon....where only the tiny party elite has the money to eat in one of the few restaurants...and the 95% of the common people has to stand in line for the daily bread and milk (if there is any).

There has never been an economically successful socialist ruling...WHY DO YOU NEVER LEARN???

The importance is to act and to do it in a way

....something the non-Right is seemingly unable to find! (Unable or unwilling, that is)

Of course there is the example of Denmark cited quite often...a leftist government doing what the rightist party promised, and for them it worked, the Right going down the drain...but....who has won in the end?
After all most people don't care how the party is called as long as they do at last what the majority wants/needs them to do...

Very wise and very true,

...and very not-working! Will the Left ever learn from their failures?

I doubt it....the talk is always of the Nazis....of a feared repeat of '33....of some reborn "Weimar"....NEVER of '89 and what led to it! So, no...they seemingly don't want to learn, so they will have to repeat!

Plus, a warning about the dangers of fascism, national alias, populism.

That's the thing....that "warning"!

How often can you warn till that warning loses its effect? Especially if it comes from growingly unpopular sources....

An example....the GDR people had been warned for decades of the dangers of capitalism and the West generally....from Kindergarten onwards...dissenting parties and media being forbidden, even a wall was build...all to safe guard the good people and rescue them from the bad, of course....

Only some "warning" alone means nothing in the long term...not if the warners don't deliver a real positive alternative!

It echoes Nazi messaging.

This....and then that:

... As the writer David Frum put it,"If liberals insist that only fascists will enforce borders, then voters will hire fascists to do the job liberals refuse to do."...

...a lesson the german Left keeps on ignoring!

The worse the situation, the less the "Nazi"-description-throwing is working....what will you do then?

Work / Are Poles workaholics? [135]

Are there any broad German political agendas that aren't idiotic?

Germany was now about 20 years fully under leftist-green influence...(no matter which gov ruled and how it was called)....supported by a mainly leftist media.

= what you have now is the consequence! It's no longer a good working country....hence the rising Right!

The backlash will probably not be nice....

The leftist NYT openly endorses german conservative Merz....

Why We're Rooting for Germany's Conservative Chancellor

nytimes.com/2025/05/17/opinion/merz-germany-chancellor.html

My....they really are sh****ing their pants about the european right movement!

But as I said before...."every conservative, beware when the Left is rooting for you"....they loved "conservative" Merkel too....only now slowly acknowledging her as the root of most of Germany's actual problems. Merz won't fare any better if he listens to them....

....But politicians can go too far in the other direction - toward open borders - and Ms. Merkel did so, however noble her intentions. The pace of recent migration to Germany has been so high that a backlash was inevitable.

It has strained the country's social services and housing market, particularly in the working-class communities where recent arrivals tend to settle. Most saliently, the system's loopholes have fostered a sense of lawlessness. In the past 12 months, Germany has experienced at least four fatal attacks by migrants who failed to qualify for asylum but nonetheless managed to remain in the country. ...


Is there still hope for the Left to see the error of their ways?

... As the writer David Frum put it,"If liberals insist that only fascists will enforce borders, then voters will hire fascists to do the job liberals refuse to do."...

THAT!

Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [580]

I keep wondering about the discrepancy between some "jury" vote and the "public vote"....

It keeps happening in Germany at nearly every preselection contest too....the stuff we send to the Eurovision is NOT and NEVER the one we actually should send....as if there is some alien opressor forcing us....the taste differs so widely, its getting creepy!

the result is always the same.

....and you should love it.....Germany ends (nearly) always somewhere at the bottom!

So much for our rule over Europe! :)

Or those of the public who a. watch Eurovision and b. make a point of voting.

As always....it seems Gaza played a bigger role than Ukraine, this year!

Off-Topic / Eurovision - Today I will be ashamed to be Polish [580]

Just read about the public vote (didn't watch it).....full 12 points from Germany....and also from Britain!

....Israel received 12 points from audiences in Azerbaijan, France, Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg, Sweden, Portugal, Britain, Spain, Switzerland, Belgium, Australia and rest-of-world votes. Additionally, Israel received 10 points from audiences in Ireland, Cyprus, Finland, San Marino, Norway and Czech Republic....

So, the public in most of Europe is clearly pro-Israel....contrary to what some govs say and some fanatics wish.....and I take back what I said yesterday and declare the contrary, heh:)

PS: I also read some commentator that most are secretly quite glad about the second place, otherwise the next Eurovision would had to take place IN Israel next year....a security nightmare....and a political one too....

Yeah....I remember Eurovision also very much differently....not the puke-fest it has become...

It was best after the "Wende", as the Iron Curtain fell and people from the whole of Europe could take part....that was a total different mood!

are those booing saying they wish she'd been killed?

Yeah....one of the reasons I'm not interested anymore.

The israeli singer was a hostage of Hamas....she was tortured, raped, had to hide between corpses to survive....and these ***** are booing her?

No...No...No!

If that is the oh so human-loving LBGTQwhatever....f**** you all!

....sraeli singer Yuval Raphael, who survived Hamas' 2023 attack on Israel, faced protests including an alleged throat-slitting gesture during the Eurovision's opening event in Basel, Switzerland, over the weekend.

It's the same with any culture,

I disagree, Jon....

We have meanwhile alot of experiences with immigration and integration of different cultures (or their lack of).

Ethnical ghettoes are a fact in every big city (voluntarily that is)....people fall back especially hard onto their heritage in a foreign environment...becoming even hardcore nationalist far way from their nation, where they didn't care at all.

Most people do just NOT change their heritage like a pass! Even home-conflicts with other ethnics are alive and well in a for both foreign environment. To believe otherwise is the big multikulti illusion....

The big red mark IMHO is the number! To have only a few ethnic minorities is the best for all....once above a certain percentage this minority would want (and need) less and less to integrate, rather changing their environment to fit them "better"....and thats just bad for all!

not presence or absence of Jews.

I would agree with your father...but the US profited and still profits from all the ambitious and brave spirits, not only Jews.

The european mass exodus of brain over the centuries to the US is barely ever spoken of....

....na ja....I guess the longer Israel exists the better the chances a true Israeli tribe will reemerge, with no second allegiances...

The actual exisiting split between Israelis and Jews living elsewhere will probably only deepen.
